The Canucks are hoping new coach Travis Green can turn around the franchise. The team's attendance traditionally ranks among the top 10 NHL franchises, but is 18th for the first two months of the 2017-18 season. During the first part of this decade the team capped season ticket sales at 17,000 with a waiting list of 6,000. Those days are over with the building no longer filled and season ticket renewals down 15% last year. Those are bad economics for a single-tenant arena. It's not hard to understand why the Canucks are not packing their arena. Since being ousted in the conference quarter finals in 2013, the Canucks have only made the playoffs once (a first round loss in 2015). The Canucks finished last in the Pacific Division last season and was near the bottom in several offensive categories, including a club record for futility with just 178 goals. Out went Willie Desjardins after three seasons as head coach and in came Green. Similar to Desjardins when he took the job in June 2014, Green has zero experience as an NHL head coach. He has also never been an NHL assistant and is the Canuck’s fourth head coach since May 2013.
