Canucks blue line breakdown: defensive depth an issue?
Quick Question…
Has the absence of Kevin Bieksa exposed Vancouver’s blue line imbalance?

Vancouver GM Gillis On His Team
from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun,
“I think this team is as good,” Gillis said. “I think our defence is as good, I think Jason Garrison has a chance to be a real good player with Alex Edler — they eat minutes, they’re big guys.
“But you have to avoid injuries, and you have to have great goaltending. That’s what L.A. got last year. They wouldn’t have even...
