With the Vancouver Canucks 2024-25 season offically complete, now is a good time to take a look at how the team deployed their players throughout the year. As expected, some saw significant minutes against the opposition's top players, while others spent most of the season battling against third and fourth liners. Overall, Rick Tocchet and his coaching staff did a good job of balancing their matchups, with 18 players recording at least 100 minutes against "Elite" competition.

The tracking website divides its data by "Elite" (top of the lineup players), "Middle"(middle of the lineup players), and "Gritensity" (bottom of the lineup).
