Only twice in their history have the Vancouver Canucks missed the playoffs in four consecutive seasons, and the vast majority of fans and hockey pundits expect another losing season on the west coast.
Sure, year two of the Bo Horvat–Brock Boeser will be fire, and Elias Pettersson will show fans a glimpse of the promising future. But with a lack of depth at forward, leaky defence and mediocre goaltending, a million things have to go right for Vancouver to make the playoffs.
I decided to have some fun and explore expert predictions for the Canucks around the web.
