Coming off a miserable season, Vancouver Canucks have ‘a lot to prove’
Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning knows what’s being said about his team.
Coming off a season where the club finished an abysmal 28th in the NHL’s overall standings with just 75 points — the franchise’s lowest total since 1999 — expectations might be even lower this year.
Oddsmakers have the Canucks tabbed as one of the longest shots to win the Stanley Cup, while even making the playoffs seems like a tall order.
“I realize we have a lot to prove to ourselves, to each other and to our fans,” said Benning.
