The Vancouver Canucks are fortunate in owning a top-two centre in Bo Horvat, with Swedish sensation Elias Pettersson also a possible candidate to join the team in 2018-19.
If the SHL Champion and Playoffs MVP makes the team next season, Vancouver will have quite the 1-2 punch down the middle, assuming Pettersson is inserted as a centre. That means they’re set in the top-six.
Hobey Baker winner Adam Gaudette should also be on the team next year, which hopefully means he gets the No. 3 centre role. Then, they could have one of Markus Granlund, Brandon Sutter or Sam Gagner (all versatile forwards), as the centre of the fourth line.
