Predictions- Vancouver Canucks

Team: 2022-23 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 2, 2022

Published: Sep. 2, 2022

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Vancouver will finish 4th in the Pacific. I think Vancouver will be one of the wild card teams this year. They will get out of the hump and finally make the playoffs. Under Boudreau, the record was way above 500, I think if the Canucks play the same way, they can make a push. Their forward core is much deeper in depth with Mikheyev and Kuzmenko. In a middle six role, Mikheyev can produce points, we don’t know how Kuzmenko will do. Defense hasn’t changed, and goaltending got better. Martin is a better backup over Halak. Overall, a quiet offseason for Vancouver, but with how deep their team is, they will be a playoff team.

For young players, the Canucks should get a full season of Rathbone, especially with Poolman out.
