The Vancouver Canucks made a splash in the off-season, signing and acquiring a number of high-profile names to their roster. Through the first month and a half of the season, most of them have lived up, or exceeded the hype. Let’s take a look at how each one has performed individually thus far.
Sam Gagner
Undoubtedly the most disappointing of the acquisitions, Sam Gagner is off to a slow start offensively. With just two goals and five points in 17 games (a 24-point pace), Gagner has scarcely looked a major threat to score. While he certainly hasn’t been a liability, and it’s fair to say he hasn’t been utilized to his full potential, he also hasn’t looked particularly dangerous.
