With his job on the line, Jim Benning, the Vancouver Canucks’ general manager reshaped the roster over the 2019 summer and claimed the hockey club suitable for playoffs in 2020. As it stands now, COVID-19 has the season halted and the playoffs uncertain for the Canucks and the rest of the NHL.
Playoff hockey is something that the Canucks haven’t experienced in five long years, but Benning got some good results from his squad as the campaign went on and for a while, it was starting to feel like the dance wasn’t too far off.
Overall the team was up and down, but sometimes Vancouver looked dominant.
