I also expect Colorado's offense to bounce back. Too much talent with Landeskog, Duchene, Mackinnon, Rantanen, Jost....

They'll still lose plenty of games though.

The terrible Mike Gillis drafting years have absolutely killed any push from below for the Canucks and you're now seeing a large age gap between the veterans and the youth that Jim Benning has drafted/brought in.

Thus the worst forward group in the NHL...

Colorado DOES have some nice pieces up front.

Shame they only have one defensive pairing.

kinda pointless to mention Vegas. they're an expansion team. they have the worst forwards by default.

Neither does Barberio.

I'd give you Zadorov if he was actually coming back.

Meh, we will see. We certainly have more depth this year....lol.

One thing I would argue is that hockey writers always tend to focus on the select few forwards who are likely to take a step back as opposed to the large group that could conceivably take a step forward.

Regress or stay the same:
H, Sedin.
D, Sedin.
Eriksson (though could he really do any worse?)
Gagne.
Sutter (generally pretty consistent when healthy)

Players who could likely improve point totals or push for spots.
Bo.
Sven.
Granlund.
Boeser.
Goldobin.
Virtanen.
Dahlen.

We won't make the playoffs by any means, but I do believe we score at a much better rate this season.

The Canucks...they're pretty much dog poop in all positions and that includes prospect chart.

It's been a loooong 8 years and I'm pretty hyped. May be a bit carried away.
