With 28 games to go in 2019-20, the Vancouver Canucks are having an excellent season. They sit atop the Pacific Division, largely on the backs of their scoring and goaltending.
However, if there has been one major question mark for the Canucks this season, it has been their defence. The blueline has been unabashedly average so far (mediocre, if you will), with the team sitting middle of the pack in plenty of defensive stats.
Unfortunately, there are more questions than answers for the future, as in the coming years, the team’s cap situation will likely force the departure of a number of veteran defenders.
