The Vancouver Canucks have been among the NHL’s worst teams the last couple of seasons due in large part to their inability to score. Former head coach Willie Desjardins wasn’t able to find the right line combinations — a reason why he was fired just months ago.
Desjardins confused many with his roster decisions. Nobody understood why the likes of Michael Chaput and Jayson Megna got to skate with the Sedin twins. Why Bo Horvat didn’t get a full-time promotion to the first line also led to plenty of questioning upon Desjardins’ line choices.
