Yes, important point. I don't want to tank anymore (well, not unless we're far out of a playoff position by Feb, then tank back on).

Just not ready to give away first rounders.
We didn’t give away a first rounder, we got a top 6 winger back

Yet 75% of our Core 4, which many here are proclaiming is good enough for a winner, were lottery qualified picks.

Nice, will accept that..implying still some rebuilding to be done. Can't bank on an unknown pipeline (though impressive) but needs to be added to perpetually with best options available, especially when you don't really know what you have in organization as a whole.

Rebuild is done. Defense is reworked,top 6 talent has been added, team toughness has been addressed.
Constant retooling now as needs change.

I just have to laugh at the posters who are proclaiming the rebuild to be finished on the heels of 22 wins in regulation.

Who has proclaimed this?

I think most people critical of the Miller trade have only said that we should be keeping our 1st round picks regardless of whether they are lottery or not.
As I said before. Some folks struggle with English.

Not me! I want to keep adding quality depth to all positions, always. Never said otherwise.

If only Canucks' marketing were clever enough to come up with it (Doc, go apply). Perfect tagline for the upcoming year.

Doc's marketing ability is the reason why McDonald's can say over 99 billion served.....he can never leave.
