https://media.zenfs.com/en/the_hockey_news_vancouver_canucks_articles_867/8179739264f9908914e26076021b61f3

✍️ The Vancouver Canucks have brought in a crop of new players via trade, free agency, or in-organization promotion, and this article takes a look at how they have performed throughout their time with the team.

👉 Evander Kane has played the second-most minutes on the team by forwards and has spent 40:54 minutes on the power play. 👉 Pierre-Olivier Joseph has been sitting out in a depth role as he has seemingly been passed in the depth chart by Tom Willander. 👉 MacKenzie MacEachern has played in six games, scoring a goal and three assists, and has been decent in roles where he's asked to provide ample forechecking. 👉 Lukas Reichel has been tasked with defensive responsibilities and has only one point in 13 games as a member of Vancouver. 👉 Tom Willander has three assists in 11 games played and has thrived in the situations he has played in despite being only 20 years old.
