One of the ironies about this season, is that when it comes to their bottom six, the Canucks might actually have finally gotten it right almost by accident.
Guys like MacEwan, Boyd, Vesey, Hawryluk, Michaelis, Highmore and Motte are all energy guys who come in at exactly price point you need f0r
third and fourth liners. The fact that half of them arrived via the waiver wire doesn't diminish their value.
Sadly, the Canucks still have Beagle, Sutter, Eriksson, Roussel and Virtanen lurking in wings with a combined cap hit of close to $20m a season.....and I guess it's inevitable they'll all them will be back eventually.
But it really underscores how badly the Canucks have butchered the salary cap for bottom of the roster players.
