The Vancouver Canucks suck...and this isn't anything new. In a 30 team league, the Canucks have finished as a bottom-5 team in 3 of the past 4 years, and are currently 4th worst this season. On the surface, things do not appear to be getting better. However, the 2017/2018 Canucks have something that their predecessors did not: hope. Here's why you should be excited to be a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, despite their current on-ice struggles.
1.) The Kids Are Alright
2.) Swedish Stars
3.) The Chosen One
4.) Trade Bait
5.) The Draft
Hope
The Canucks may be bad, but they aren’t as bad as you think. They have a substantial amount of potential high-impact prospects ready to make a difference, and ready to take this team to the next level – just ask Brock Boeser. Once they get the chance, look out.
