Opportunities like this don’t come often. The most common refrain from me this summer is that the Canucks can’t bring back the same defence as last year. Jim Benning and the Vancouver Canucks can make all the promises they want, but until I see Olli Juolevi in the lineup, I will remain skeptical.
That’s why the news out of Edmonton is interesting. Andrej Sekera tore his Achilles tendon and is out indefinitely. The Oilers don’t have a great defence as is and will miss the offence from Sekera. So, how could the Canucks help?
