VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks weren’t missing six players on Monday when they lost to the Winnipeg Jets. They were missing 12: their six injured guys, plus the six they don’t yet have on their roster in order to compete against the best teams in the National Hockey League.
The Jets, a Stanley Cup favourite who are Exhibit A among the draft-and-development route’s finished products, showed that the Canucks are on the right path, but also how much heavy lifting — and patience — is still required in Vancouver.
