If we were playing the Canucks in the playin this year instead of the Jets, I would not be worried for one second.
The Canucks are on the upswing but they are absolutely screwed with the cap.
They are maxed out with their two studs in Petterson and Quinn needing huge contracts in a year, not to mention their MVP is their goalie who will be asking for a huge contract this offseason UFA.
They will be losing Tanev, no way they are able to keep Tofolli who they just gave up a second and a high prospect (Madden) for.
They are Winnipeg with probably losing their vezina goalie and a worse top 6.
