I don't see how. Even with significant additions the Canucks are very squarely not anywhere close to the Division leaders. But even if we concede that the Canucks are in contention for a Wild Card spot, which of the top-five Central teams do they supplant? Colorado? Winnipeg? Nashville? St Louis? Dallas?

true... Ok, I think they'll be fighting for a playoff WC spot till the end. Divisional playoff contention seems far fetched.
