from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province,

1: Is Jacob Markstrom an upper-tier NHL goalie? After a brutal November, he certainly was over the final four months of last season. The Canucks can’t win with average goaltending. They need Markstrom to be a top 10 ‘keeper.

2: Is Elias Pettersson an 80-point centreman? He’s the Canucks’ best player and teams go as far as their best players take them. Pettersson’s talent isn’t the question. It’s can he establish himself as a legitimate No. 1 centre over the NHL’s 82-game grind.

3: Can Quinn Hughes and the Canucks’ young stars revive the power play?
