The Vancouver Canucks lost several key players in free agency, but there are reasons to believe they’ll be better in 2020-21.

For the most part, 2020 free agency wasn’t kind to the Vancouver Canucks.

General manager Jim Benning saw team MVP and star goalie Jacob Markstrom and veteran top-four defenceman Chris Tanev sign with the Calgary Flames.

Fan favourite Troy Stecher signed a bargain two-year deal with the Detroit Red Wings, and trade deadline acquisition and reliable top-six forward Tyler Toffoli signed a four-year, $17 million pact the Montreal Canadiens.
