There is no sugarcoating it, the Vancouver Canucks have the least amount of points in the NHL. The Canucks have accumulated 41 points in 54 games, seven less than the next worst team, the Calgary Flames, and currently have the highest odds to win the NHL Draft Lottery at 25.5%.
It would appear as though the Canucks front office pulled the trigger at the right time to initiate a rebuild, especially as it pertains to personnel losses like Quinn Hughes, J.T. Miller and Bo Horvat over the past few seasons, but also the potential of their current prospect pool including Jonathan Lekkerimäki, Tom Willander, Braeden Cootes, and newly acquired Zeev Buium and Marco Rossi.
