It's really anyone's guess as to how the Canucks will fare. The Sedins are on the decline but I think last season may be an anomaly. Bonino really is coming off a career season and may or may not repeat. Vrbata is a good player but not exactly a plug and play guy. With that said, Kesler is really a one man wrecking crew. He pretty much gets his 20+ goals all by himself. Very hard player to find complimentary linemates so the Canucks might actually be better offensively not having Kesler.
