Welcome to the yearly wrap up of the top read articles over the last year!

As the NHL neared in its return-to-play, the Vancouver Canucks like every team were starting to wonder what their lines might look like.

CanucksArmy writer Faber, too, was speculating and penned a May 16th article on what his lines would look like.

That article was the 15th most-read article this year.

If the season started tomorrow, this is what the best Canucks’ lineup looks like

Here’s some of what Faber wrote in that piece:

If today was your last day, and tomorrow was too late, could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Nickelback said this is in their 2008 worldwide smash hit “If Today Was Your Last Day”.
Personally, I would certainly be able to say goodbye to yesterday because I left my bedroom for about 45 minutes all day.
Recently I was listening to this Nickelback song, as any person without highbrow taste in music would, and then it hit me.
What if the season were to actually resume tomorrow?
Would Jacob Markstrom still be a top tier goaltender?
Would everyone be healthy?
Would Jake Virtanen be out of shape again?
These questions will be answered soon enough. As for the lineup, that’s where I’ll bring the opinions. So if the NHL were to come out and say that the season would resume tomorrow, how would this team look moving into game action?
There’s a lot to get into, so let’s go!
