It’s a little strange to say that, but it’s the truth.
In the last four seasons, the Canucks have either not made the playoffs or been eliminated in the first round. Henrik and Daniel Sedin as well as Alex Burrows are all 34 years old. Kevin Bieksa and Radim Vrbata ar 33. Dan Hamhuis is 32. The Canucks are an aging team.
What’s worse is when you look at the rest of the Pacific Division, everyone is having more success with younger players, save for the Edmonton Oilers the last few years.
