Also, I find it hard to see how Sbisa is an upgrade on Garrison, or Bonino an upgrade on Kesler. That leaves Vrbata, who will at any rate be better on the wing with the Sedins than Burrows was – but that's not saying much, after Burrows' magnificent 5-goal season. All in all, I'm not seeing any improvement there, unless some rookies come through unexpectedly. The best that's likely to happen is that the Canucks will play more like the bubble team of the first half of last year, rather than the train wreck of the second half.

No Torts should also improve things as well for the nucks. Still a non-playoff team, but will be better IMHO.
