Five of the six Vancouver Canucks participating in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey could take on big roles with their respective teams. But yet, they are in completely different positions.
The most prominent names are Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and Loui Eriksson. That Swedish trio is the biggest reason for Canucks fans to be excited for the 2016-17 season, and their pre-tournament games with Sweden just made that excitement grow. The three are building Sweden’s top line and top power-play unit and will be relied on to lead their country to a gold medal.
