Seems like so long since the Canuck faithful have been looking forward to a season as much as this one.
It's been exactly two years and 10 months since Jim Benning walked the plank and they cleaned house. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself to believe it's the same franchise.
They head into this season with a Norris Trophy threat on defense; two legit 100 point centers; and serious depth at virtually every position. Even the temporary loss of their Vezine-quality goalie, they're able to take in stride.
They've got one of the most efficient payrolls in the league.....and I'm having trouble thinking of single guy who's 'overpaid' relative to their production. And for the first time in years, the Canucks are operating close to $500,000 below the salary cap without using LTIR. So they'll be able to add another big contract at the TDL.
So bring it on!
