With Elias Pettersson, Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser leading the way, the Vancouver Canucks look set on offence for years to come.
But the same cannot be said about a blue line that simply hasn’t performed well over the last five years. Right now, only 2018 first round pick Quinn Hughes and Richmond, B.C. kid Troy Stecher have long-term futures in Vancouver.
Alexander Edler is a pending UFA, and there’s no guarantee he re-signs right now. Guys like Chris Tanev and Ben Hutton will likely be wearing new uniforms in 2020-21 if they don’t bounce back next season.
