Lot of truth in that graphic!

Though watching a bit of the Hlinka/Gretz Cup the Canucks may have picked a good time to rebuild.

If out of some stroke of luck we can snag DuPont next season and we would likely be near the bottom for a 2028 draft Schultz and Pue look like the real deal.

The Pats should be fun to watch for the next couple years.

An interesting point, and another strong argument for why the Canucks should have been deep in re-build mode in 2015.

[There does not seem to be any board rule against gnawing on the bitter remains of past organizational mistakes.]

All part of the endless futility of this franchise - it's in our blood.

If deep rebuild means trading the Sedins and not fumbling Hamhuis, then that could have made a difference. But at the end of the day, it wasn't the ticky tack "retool" moves (Beer Cheese, Granlund, etc.) that made a meaningful difference. (Even turning Bonino into Sutter instead of true futures wasn't that big of a deal though turned out as bad as it could). It was whiffing on 3 of 5 top 10 picks in 6 years and losing the McCann trade. And even then, the Canucks might have rebuilt into a steady consistent team had their "good" players not have brought a bad (or at least not good) ethic to the table and had they not shot themselves in the foot on a guy like Tanev.
