The Vancouver Canucks are going to need a roster shakeup after finishing near the very bottom of the NHL standings for the second-straight year. Last week, team president Trevor Linden confessed that the team is set for a rebuild — and those usually consist of trading away top veterans for young assets.
Vancouver’s best trade chip is probably 27-year-old defenseman Chris Tanev, who happens to be the team’s most reliable and talented player on the back end. With the emergence of both Ben Hutton and Troy Stecher, coupled with prized prospect Olli Juolevi, the Canucks’ blue line has one bright-looking future.
