For Vancouver Canucks fans looking for a positive in this one, look no further than the NHL standings. A 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers has the Canucks sitting at 28th-overall in the NHL, meaning they’re that much closer to (hopefully), landing the top pick in the 2018 Draft.
Other than that, the Oilers didn’t do a whole lot we didn’t know already. Without Bo Horvat, the Sedins and Brock Boeser must do virtually all the scoring. The team still needs three more quality defencemen if they want to be a playoff team someday.
