Jim Benning promised to be aggressive during his end of the season media scrum last year. He certainly lived up to that promise by making major changes to the roster. Will it be successful? thats yet to be detmined.
Though their D-core is average at best, the Canucks on paper seem to have one of the more balanced and deeper forward groups in the league.
We all know 2 things are needed with the forward group to be successful in the playoffs.
1. All-star power in the top 6
2. Depth Depth Depth. Balance Balance Balance. Playoffs are a grind but its also important that not everyone is a skilled guy. Need grinders, and grit players that know how to play in front of the net and in the corners.
Where would you rank their forward group?
Projected lineup
JT Miller- Pettersson- Boeser
Hoglander- Horvat- Garland
Pearson- Dickenson- Podkolzin
Motte- Sutter- Highmore
Macewan
Call ups: Petan, Gadjocvich, Lockwood, Justin Bailey, Dries, Downey, Di Guiseppe
