Team: 2023-24 Vancouver Canucks

Initial Creation Date: Dec. 23, 2023

Published: Dec. 23, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Every analytics model shows this team isn't for real. Their PDO is off the charts. Anyone with half a mind that watches the games can see that they don't play well. You can't outscore and outgoaltend your problems in the playoffs. This team will get swept in the first round. Better to build for the future.

This team is still competitive and will be 10x better for the next 3-10 years.

I'd be pretty surpised if the Canucks moved Cole, he's fit in quite well. The value on the trade is fine, might even be more in Vancouvers favour. But, it just doesn't make sense, plus it'd give us a logjam at goalie. Although Ian Clark may work wonders with samsonov
