Over the course of the off-season, the Vancouver Canucks have made adjustments to their blue line, which has created a blend of youth with competent veterans. The pieces are there for the back end to hold some level of respectability, despite the lack of a true franchise defenceman. The cliche “boom or bust” holds true for many aspects of the 2017-18 Canucks, and perhaps none more so than defence core. For the purpose of this exercise, which will rank current members of the Canucks’ blue line only players from last year’s roster, as well as free agent signings will be included (which means the likes of Olli Juolevi and Andrey Pedan will not be present on the list).
