The Forwards

Alex Chiasson:

The power play guy

Hasn’t done much at evens

Has put up nine points

Bo Horvat:

Has 23 points

He should be producing more

Great at faceoffs though.

Brock Boeser:

Goal droughts this season

Boeser’s shot isn’t the same

It’s a contract year

Conor Garland:

Garland spins and spins

Has gone quiet with the offence

Still a fun player

Elias Pettersson:

He’s been a let down

Petey needs the confidence

Don’t give up on him

JT Miller:

Miller is quite good

The Canucks leader in points

Trade value is high

Jason Dickinson:

Hasn’t been a fit

Fine on evens, poor on kill

Only has two goals

Juho Lammikko:

Improved with Boudreau

Defensive game has improved

Shown good awareness

Justin Dowling:

Hasn’t done a lot

Wasn’t supposed to make the team

But did anyway

Matthew Highmore:

He has missed some time

Brings energy to fourth line

Not a bad player

Nils Höglander:

He works really hard

The offence has dried up though

The sophomore slump

Tanner Pearson:

Hasn’t been scoring

Helping in some other ways

Contract still isn’t good

Tyler Motte:

Motte brings tons of speed

Between the legs goal was nice

Has some trade value

Vasily Podkolzin:

The Russian rookie

Is gradually improving

The points will come soon
