The Vancouver Canucks are having a polar opposite season compared to their last campaign. At this time last season, Vancouver were in the midst of a losing streak which led to the firing of former coach Bruce Boudreau. His replacement Rick Tocchet has this team firing on all cylinders this season, currently sitting pretty at the top of the Pacific division with a record of 33-11-5. If Tocchet doesn't win the Jack Adams this season something is wrong.
Vancouver looks poised to be buyers at the upcoming deadline but like many teams are facing the cap crunch. If they are going to bring in a player with a significant cap hit, money will need to be moved the other way to make the deal work.
