“I think in two years' time, I think we’re gonna be real competitive and have a chance to compete for the Cup.”
— Jim Benning, March 5th, 2021.
Despite the dreary day-to-day world we’re living in, you can see Benning’s logic about the Canucks being competitive in two years.
When you look at their cap situation heading into next season, it’s not pretty. Add in the fact that you have to re-sign three of your best players to new deals, and this is shaping up to be a pretty damn important offseason for the Vancouver Canucks.
