PREDICTION

The Canucks seem to be a team on the verge of a rebuild.  They had to move their best all-around player in Kesler, one of their top offensive blueliners in Garrison and really didn’t get much immediate return.  If Alex Burrows doesn’t have a monster bounce-back year, the Canucks will have trouble icing a real first line, let along make up any ground in the playoff race.
