If the Vancouver Canucks are set on rebuilding this team and letting new head coach Travis Green run his own system, then it’s time for veterans Daniel and Henrik Sedin to move down to the third line.
It may not sound popular with fans, but it’s the best thing for this team if they want to enter a transition phase where the young, up-and-coming players accept more ice time and responsibility.
Bo Horvat was this team’s leading scorer in 2016-17, scoring 20 goals and 52 points. Yet each Sedin averaged a minute more of ice time per game than Horvat.
