The Vancouver Canucks are looking to bounce back after a woeful 2020-21 season which saw them finish last in the Scotia North Division.
General manager Jim Benning is returning for his eighth year at the helm and head coach Travis Green was signed to a two-year contract extension.
Benning proclaimed that they would be aggressive in the offseason and they were.
The Canucks offseason saw them trading for Jason Dickinson, making a blockbuster trade on draft day for Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Conor Garland, and signing a bunch of free agents including Tucker Poolman, Jaroslav Halak and Phil Di Giuseppe.
