Brandon Sutter has been one of the more divisible figures since he was acquired in 2015. A totemic figure for the Jim Benning regime, faith in the Vancouver Canucks‘ senior management can be tracked alongside the performance of the man Benning once referred to as being ‘foundational’. Most Canucks fans, myself included, would say that we have yet to see the best of Sutter – but are we beginning to see it now?
How the first three seasons went down:
Sutter was acquired along with a 2016 3rd round pick (William Lockwood) in exchange for Nick Bonino, Adam Clendening and a 2016 2nd round pick (Filip Gustavsson).
