This started something interesting in my brain.

The 6-1-1 Tampa Bay Lightning have blocked 12% fewer shots per game than anyone else, and also block the fewest percentage of shot attempts against of anyone in the league at 19%.

Vancouver is slightly below NHL average in both. https://twitter.com/garryvalk/status/1357505603850018818
Vancouver's xGA is worst in the league, their SATA load is the same, and their PDO sits at 101 thanks to the 4th best 5v5 shot percentage in the league.

You often also do not see blocked shots coming from HD shots, and how the blob at the bottom here occurs is a bigger issue.
A big, big issue is that the Canucks seem to be a team of extremes. Compare different player combos and their effects on shot attempt rates relative to divisional rivals.

They basically have one line driving play well, one snakebitten line, and... the rest.

It'd be great to be able to boil down the issues and diagnose it as strictly a tactical issue, but is there some underlying pure talent to be unlocked through tactical shifts in guys like Roussel, Sutter, Beagle, and Virtanen?

I guess you don't have a choice, but... yyyeah.
basically, pick up the ipad, watch tape and decide not to spend millions and millions of dollars on poor overall play drivers.
