Vancouver Canucks: Projecting the 2019-20 defence pairings
In one day, the Vancouver Canucks have upgraded their backend. Out are Ben Hutton, Luke Schenn, and Derrick Pouliot. In are Tyler Myers, Jordie Benn, and Oscar Fantenberg. I take a look at how they will fit in with the team.
Prior to July 1, it was no secret that the Vancouver Canucks had to upgrade their defence. Rumors of Tyler Myers circulated the Twitterverse as well as the news of Ben Hutton not being qualified. This meant general manager Jim Benning was up to something.
Once the clock struck nine on July 1, his plans came into focus. Myers, Jordie Benn, and Oscar Fantenberg were signed.
