I still wonder how much of this may be mitigated by a switch in teams. According to one blog I found Vancouver has consistently been in the top-ten NHL teams for man-games lost to injuries, and in the top-five every year before 2019–20. Meanwhile, Calgary's worst season placed them 15th in 2016, and every year since they have been in the bottom-ten.
On the one hand, it may be Tanev's propensity for injury that has set the Canucks back so consistently; on the other hand, perhaps it has something to do with the Canucks themselves and how they play, train players and treat for injuries.
