Vegas Golden Knights scouting report on a division rival with the Vancouver Canucks

How tough will the Vancouver Canucks be this season?

There's no doubt Vancouver will be a tough team for the Vegas Golden Knights in 2024-25. An array of goal scorers on every line makes it tough for any team competing for the Pacific Division. Throw in a Vezina finalist and the Vancouver Canucks will fight for the division crown again.

However, the Golden Knights can take advantage of a potential opportunity should the Canucks struggle out the gate. Not having a goalie who's 100% healthy can slow down any team. Vancouver is no exception to the rule, especially when the Edmonton Oilers are lurking.

The Golden Knights will kick the tires on some newer additions, such as Tomas Hertl and Noah Hanifin. These players will bolster different aspects, including the power play. If Vegas can get their special teams right for the upcoming season, they can get back the Pacific Division, where people aren't forgetting about them.
