Long gone are the days where the Vancouver Canucks core four consisted of the Sedin twins, Ryan Kesler and Roberto Luongo. In just a few short years, general manager Jim Benning has transitioned this team’s core into Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser, with more promising young players on the way.
Considering how the Canucks have tried “rebuilding on the fly” instead of tearing it all down, the front office has done an excellent job in replenishing this team’s future with a handful of rising, young stars.
Frank Seravalli of TSN listed every NHL team’s “core four” of players under the age of 24, and placed the Canucks 10th.
