The average age of the Vancouver Canucks is 26.4 years old. There are only two teams younger than the Canucks and it’s the Montreal Canadiens (26.2) and the Carolina Hurricanes (26.3). Four of their top scorers are under the age of 25. Their captain, Bo Horvat, is just 24 years old. Their star scorer, Elias Pettersson, has been legally allowed to drink alcohol in the United States for just 37 days. This is an extremely young team.
Look at the pieces that the Canucks have to build their franchise around. Horvat, Pettersson, Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes, these are all super young players that have endless potential as they continue to develop in the league.
