The Vancouver Canucks cannot be disillusioned by the first half of the season.
In a season highlighted by the influx of youth, the Canucks cannot be content with the veterans and how their discouraging play has kept the Canucks a regular in the NHL’s bottom five. They need to stick to the original plan and start building a new core by shipping out the veterans on expiring contracts. That list includes Radim Vrbata, Dan Hamhuis, Brandon Prust, Yannick Weber, and Matt Bartkowski.
But with one catch.
Jim Benning plans not to sell unless the Canucks are out of the playoffs.
