Dan Hamhuis is getting old, he is getting slow, he is becoming expandable for the Vancouver Canucks. Right? Wrong.
The Canucks arguably have the worst defensive core in the entire NHL. Christopher Tanev is the No. 1 on the depth chart, but with all due respect, he is not a No. 1 defenceman. Then there is Tanev’s partner on the top-pairing, Alexander Edler, who has also started to fall out of favour with Canucks fans. Behind that, it gets fuzzy with a mixture of rookies à la Ben Hutton and veterans like Hamhuis.
