No matter how the Vancouver Canucks fare in 2018-19, the fans at least know that the future is good hands with the likes of rookie Elias Pettersson, future captain Bo Horvat and second-year sniper Brock Boeser.
Pettersson is off to a surging start, with 17 points in 14 games. Did we mention he’s a rookie? Just wait until he packs on a little more muscle — and for his overall game to develop even more. Vancouver has a franchise cornerstone to build around, with Horvat and Boeser complementing his offensive talents.
