You can do a look into the Canucks system, if you want. It's very similar to the one used by the Islanders, where they keep everything to the perimeter and allow a lot of low percentage shots. Islanders happen to do it better because their defence isn't a tire fire in the bottom half. I have no illusions about how important Markstrom was in making that system work for the Canucks, there is zero doubt he is our MVP. I am also not ignorant to the fact that this system also played to Markstrom's strengths.



Feel free to mute me. It's a thread about off-season trades and rumours where in the Canucks are a major part of the biggest looming trade currently in the NHL and the Canucks #1 goalie is a pending UFA where in your own team is one of the main people apparently pursuing him.
