Defence. The biggest and most important talking point concerning the Vancouver Canucks. With one of the better prospect pools in the NHL, fans are more than familiar with the deep group of forwards that are developing into potential players. Goaltending is also in a solid spot. Vancouver is not rich with defensive prospects, but have one exceptional blueliner and a couple notable ones thanks to their drafting.
But when we move from the amateur side of acquisition, the picture is not so rosy. As we look back, Jim Benning has brought in quite a few defencemen through free agency and trade.
