November is what did us in this year. If we didn’t get destroyed by injuries we could have challenged for a divisional spot. Absolutely no reason why we can’t make it next year.
Pears you have homer glasses on. No rational person can look at this roster and see a playoff team. We're currently 25/31 teams. And everyone has injuries.
I think a healthy Canucks team is very close to a playoff team, but honestly, being healthy is unrealistic, especially with our travel schedule. Next year we should get a bit better and I think if Hughes is a top 4 defenseman and Markstrom/Demko can be solid, we have a chance at the playoffs.
