The Vancouver Canucks didn’t have to make any blockbuster trades or free agent signings to upgrade their roster, and this team has all the makings to be considerably better than the 2017-18 squad.
We can expect 2017 first round pick Elias Pettersson to make the team in 2018-19, so the Canucks will have a world class talent right there.
Jonathan Dahlen also has an outside shot, and it’ll be enticing to see more ice time from Nikolay Goldobin and Adam Gaudette, if head coach Travis Green can fit them into this crowded lineup.
