That Hoglander-Raty-Garland unit is obviously just a placeholder until Joshua is back (assuming they even ice it), but I would bet it would become a match-up issue for the Canucks sooner rather than later, I don't think that line will do well against tough match-ups as the regular season pace picks up.
Yabba dabba doo.

I’ve been married 16 years, and with my better half for 20 this November. I spent the first 20 years of my life trying to get to her as fast as I possibly could, and it just keeps getting better.

I know the feeling. I’ve known my wife my whole life. Her parents and my parents were best friends. We grew up together.

Will hurt with the game being in Edmonton and the way they shit the bed last year to start to get beat by the lowly Flames on Sunday. Agree though team looks old as F. Probably trip over Corey Perry's walker.
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!

It's hockey - a few weird bounces or a stinker performance by the goalie could sink any team.
But I just don't see it happening here. The team seems well prepared and there is a significant gap between the rosters when it comes to overall talent and depth.
