Could the Canucks benefit from a “triple threat” of forward duos in 2021-22?

The Canucks lack of depth has created a number of headaches, and it’s a problem that promises to persist into next season.

One of the most glaring issues heading into next season remains...who will play third-line centre?

One of the most common answers to that question...is J.T. Miller.

There are certainly pros and cons of sliding Miller down to the third line. On paper, it gives the Canucks a tantalizing 1-2-3 punch at centre that few other teams in the NHL can match. Theoretically, it would allow the Canucks to spread out their offence, since one of those centres would get cupcake match-ups against third-pairing defencemen.
