«Maybe things would've been different.»
It was certainly a dramatic turn around this season 4 the Canucks after being at the bottom of the standings the year before and showing no signs of change great after bringing Tochett into the organization and Allvin and president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford decided to make major changes to their defence and secondary scoring.
