Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning has struggled to find secondary scoring to complement his top players, but he may have found a solution in Josh Leivo.
The Canucks acquired Leivo in a December trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs, sending Michael Carcone. The trade didn’t seem like big news at first, but Leivo quickly found his footing in Vancouver and supplied some much-needed secondary offence.
Leivo was one of Vancouver’s best forwards of the 2018-19 season. He scored 10 goals and 18 points in 48 games, so we know the potential to score 20 is there for next season.
