Vancouver Canucks management seems to have this idea that the Canucks will somehow be able to make the playoffs this season. They made that quite apparent when they went out and signed Loui Eriksson to a six-year contract on July 1st and traded Jared McCann to the Florida Panthers for Erik Gudbranson.
So, let’s take a look at some things that have to happen if the Canucks plan to make the playoffs.

When Brandon Sutter agreed to switch his jersey number so Loui Eriksson could wear 21, he told Eriksson he needs to score 40 goals or Sutter gets the number back next year.
