Projecting Vancouver Canucks player stats for 2018-19
The roster is almost finalized and the Vancouver Canucks start the season Wednesday. Time to project every player’s stat line for 2018-19.
A tale of two offseasons. Last year, the Vancouver Canucks tried to improve on a rough season by making several splashes in the free agent market. Thomas Vanek plays for another team, Alexander Burmistrov and Patrick Wiercioch left for Russia and Sam Gagner was put on waivers.
If you told me that Sam Gagner would be dumped by the Canucks before Michael Del Zotto and Anders Nilsson, I would have called you crazy. But I guess that says more about Gagner than the other two. Jim Benning took a different approach this year, loading up on fourth line forwards.
