The Vancouver Canucks have reached the conclusion of training camp and preseason, and their preparations for the upcoming 2021-22 NHL regular season are well underway. With the regular season opener against the Edmonton Oilers just a day away, the excitement within the Canucks fanbase is palpable.

In this piece we’ll take the optimistic route and examine three keys to the Canucks season if they are to live up to their high potential and become contenders in the Pacific Division.
