Vancouver Canucks fans have longed for a rebuild for quite some time, and their voices were heard by team president Trevor Linden and general manager Jim Benning.
In April, Linden told fans that the team was “rebuilding”, and Benning acted upon it, in some ways. Yes, he did choose to sign veterans like Sam Gagner, Thomas Vanek, Michael Del Zotto and Anders Nilsson. Rebuilding teams usually stay quiet in free agency, but the Canucks are still listening to what we all wanted.
Brock Boeser and Jake Virtanen made the team.
