Well, the 2016-17 season has been far from fun for the Vancouver Canucks in more ways than one. But if there’s any consolation for the fans, it’s been the fact that we’ve seen a plethora of young kids make their NHL debuts.
It started with defenceman Troy Stecher at the start of the season, and he’s found himself often playing top-four minutes. Then came Brock Boeser, who already has two goals since debuting last week. Plus, Vancouver signed Drew Shore out of Switzerland, who is already 26 but has shown promise in his first weeks with the club.
