Vancouver Canucks: New additions will only insulate losing
Jim Benning and the Vancouver Canucks may tell you that their additions on July 1st are meant to insulate the younger players. He’s wrong and here is why all these players are going to do is contribute to the same losing effort Edmonton has suffered prior to drafting the best player in the league.
The excuses are sure running wild for the questionable moves made by the Vancouver Canucks. Yes, the team was going to be awful next season, but blowing almost $28 million on fourth liners is no less stupid. Honestly, I would have preferred nothing to happen. It’s not as ideal, but it beats any scenario were bottom of the lineup players command term and limited no-trade clauses.
