By Xmas 2018...
Canucks are still in the fight to make play-offs!
...But in the New Year loose 11 in a row
Canucks are sellers at trade deadline.
1.Colorado decimated by injury; obtain Baertschi and Ben Hutton, whom show great first 1/2 season growth; but are traded to Avalanche, along with goalie asset Thiessen and a conditional 3rd, for the first round pick owed to Colorado by Montreal, plus added contract dumps.
2. Eriksson, Sutter, Guddy, are traded to Montreal for scraps but receive in return one of their 2 First rounder 2019 picks (obtained from Karlsson trade.) Unbelievable...Montreal is still in the play-0ff hunt!
3.Tanev and a current goalie Marky are traded to Islanders, whom are also scratching their way into playoffs. Canucks get D-man Dobson!
The funny thing after all trades made, Canucks youth combine for what will be known as "The Famous Rookie Run of 2019." -22 wins in a row to close out the season and grab the final play-off spot by one point!
The Canucks go on all the way to the Stanley Cup, but loose in game seven by a single but very controversial goal
Canuck win 1st overall 2019 Draft pick
Canucks do not draft Jack Hughes. (Leave something for the imagination)
Tryamkin returns in 2020, and is an offensive and defensive force along side Q.Hughes (AKA "The Q")
Canucks win Stanley cup in 2022, 2023 & 2025.
I hope you enjoy the journey!
