Recency bias is a funny thing. I know it looks like Vancouver Canucks fans make certain players their whipping boys, but there is a reason behind it. These players are ludicrously overpaid and we are told by the team’s general manager they will be worth it.
Then we learn later that everyone who said the signings were a bad idea are repeatedly proven right, no matter how many times the team doubles down on mistakes. I understand why people think we give Erik Gudbranson too hard of a time. That we are too mean and can’t recognize what he can contribute.
