No. 25: Vancouver Canucks

Previous: No. 22

Record: 28-32-9 (65 points)

Jim Benning was magical this year at the deadline, and seems to have the understanding that his team was not heading in the right direction. It’ll take some time, but they have to revamp their lineup in order to become a playoff team again. Bo Horvat has been a shining star for the Canucks this season. That Loui Eriksson contract isn’t looking so good right now.
