Garland didn't quite meet the hype coming out of the desert last season. Didn't do much for their forward group.
Hoglander is skilled but undersized.
I don't know about the European guy they dropped into their roster but its usually worse than a coin flip that those guys stick here.
Hughes should just be a forward, he doesn't play defense. Was exposed as a train wreck since Tanev left him.
The defence group as a whole is mediocre.
Demko is a superb goalie.
Boudreau is a pretty good regular season coach.
In the PAC the Canucks are probably in the bubble, pushing for WC or 3rd if Demko can bail out their poor defense nightly. If he goes down they're ####ed, of course.

Petterson once his wrist healed, he put up 26 goals and 53 points in the final 41 games of the season. Playing without miller, boeser, or horvat at 5 on 5 for the majority of it. Who are these many people who have said hes only pretty good?
Saying boeser isn't competitive, I'm sorry just shows you rarely watch him play
Garland didnt get any power play time last year, which is what kept his counting stats low. He had 49 even strength points, his rate per 60 min was top 20 in the league or around that
Hughes had a massive bounce back season defensively last season
All of this besides the defense being bad reads as someone who didnt watch the team
