Rest easy, Vancouver Canucks fans, the 2019-20 NHL season is almost upon us. With less than a month to go before opening puck drop, the Canucks began their annual prospect camp this weekend, wrapping up an unusually active offseason for GM Jim Benning and his management team. For the first time in what feels like years, the Canucks appear to be entering the coming season with a genuinely improved team that could challenge for a playoff berth.
Desperately needed scoring and winger depth was added in the form of J.T. Miller and Micheal Ferland now with Vasili Podkolzin and Nils Hoglander a couple of years away.
