Why the Vancouver Canucks’ Next Move Could Make or Break Their Future Forever
Not Another Hybrid Retool Coming with the Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks have to be very smart here. The big hesitation is to tear it down to the studs and not have those veterans there to help the young players come along. However, the Canucks have a habit of getting in their own way, too. Before the Canucks traded J.T. Miller last season, he was on the block two seasons earlier, in a contract year. But instead of moving them, they signed him to an eight-year extension.
The following season, Elias Pettersson, in a contract season, was on the trade block. The Canucks knew the history between the two players. However, the Canucks were primed to make a deep run. Once again, they signed the player to a long-term deal. Yes, centers are hard to come by, but Vancouver prevented itself multiple times from gaining assets for Pettersson and Miller.
