That is 14 skaters that played at least 5 NHL games last season - so even though it was no real top 6 players or top 4 dmen. There were a lot of guys that will likely be counted on as NHLers for the Canucks this year in the lineup last night and will likely be call ups at some point this season.
Interestingly enough the Flames only had 11 skaters that played 5 NHL games or more last season in the lineup last night - but of course way more of our top 6 and top 4 talent.

True, though I thought those top 6/4 guys - especially Huberdeau, Kadri, Dube, Hanifin, did their damage and then let the kids/bubble guys take over.
