The Vancouver Canucks may have committed to a full rebuild only a few months ago but under scout-turned-general manager Jim Benning, their prospect pool already boasts some top-end talent and depth. The 2016-17 season resulted in a major change in the landscape for Vancouver’s prospects pipeline thanks to trade deadline acquisitions as well as a strong draft.
Just from the two trades and the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, the Canucks were able to add ten prospects, filling up every position with at least one player.
Of course, the Canucks also let go of a few players. Of note, netminder Michael Garteig didn’t stick around with the Canucks after being a popular signing last offseason.
