Last season, everything that could go wrong did for the Vancouver Canucks. The on-ice product was terrible as they finished at the bottom of the all-Canadian North Division, grabbing just 50 points over 56 games and finishing the season with a -37 goal differential.
Off the ice, the team dealt with a severe COVID-19 outbreak that led to plenty of media rumours that obviously irked some of the players. The virus ripped through the organization and the effects of that outbreak are still being felt to this day. Brandon Sutter has still not resumed hockey activities because of long-term effects from the illness.
