So the Canucks essentially replaced Horvat, Kuzmenko, Miller, and now Boeser with Chytil, DeBrusk, and now Kane upfront. That screams like a team with a lack of direction. At least, I don't see where they're going to get their goals from.
The Canucks top 9 next year (points last year):
Hoglander(25P) - Pettersson(45P) - Granland(50P)
DeBrusk(48P) - Chytil(26P) - Kane(0P)
Joshua(14P) - Blueger(26P) - Sherwood(40P)
That's just ugly, unless they manage to get another top line forward. It looks like the start of another rebuild, and this trade only makes sense for VAN if they intend to flip Kane(50%) at the deadline).
