When will the Vancouver Canucks get the respect they deserve?

Canucks numbers: Is Nils Höglander the right fit for the Miller line?

Who is going to play left wing with J.T. Miller is a question again. In training camp and through the first month-plus of the season, the answer had been pretty solidly "Phil Di Giuseppe."

Drance: The Canucks’ Filip Hronek trade is needlessly desperate and risky

The Vancouver Canucks think they're close to competing for something. What they think they're close to competing for is anyone's guess. It's not the Stanley Cup. It's not a sustainable competitive window during which a Stanley Cup is a realistic aspiration. A playoff spot next season is the right answer, presumably, although you'd like to see the…
