It was a very disappointing year for the Vancouver Canucks, going into the season many believed they could be a playoff team. They had all the pieces a place, with world class talent in Bo Horvat, Brock Boeser, and Elias Pettersson. While also having one of the best young stars in defenceman, Quinn Hughes and a very solid, Thatcher Demko as their starting goaltender
The Canucks got off to one of their worst starts in franchise history. With the lack of effort and results it didn't take long for the fan base to turn on the team, booing them out of the building on multiple occasions. General Manager, Jim Benning and Head Coach, Travis Green both ended up losing their jobs when team owner Francesco Aquilini stepped in.
However, the Canucks failed to make the playoffs this year because of the brutal start, but many Canucks fans had high hopes for next season with Bruce Boudreau behind the bench. But yesterday Team President Jim Rutherford made a surprising announcement that will likely upset the majority of Canucks fans.
