Retools like what we are doing do not take 5-7 years, rebuilds do. See CHI. We are expected to be a playoff team.
- VanHockeyGuy

Apples & oranges. Chicago's core is probably 4 or 5 years younger, on average, than Vancouvers.
Rebuilding or retooling or re-whatthe(frank)ever, doesn't happen in one off season.

They learned that from Naslund and his classic post mortem remark "We Choked"

Honest assessment.

Respected him for just coming out and saying it, maybe it was the obvious and didn't need to be said.

It was better than the usual Sedin assessment at the end of a game, as summarized by Vantel, "We payed hard enough to win or We didn't play hard enough to win."

I am a fan of Benning. I am saying he will not wait until contracts expire, he will get rid of them sooner. I expect at least 3 NTCs to be moved this year.
- VANTEL

I hope he can do it, I'm just not expecting it. I'm thinking one or two will be gone.

Once again, I'm just not a fan. Simple as that.

That's an awesome thing! Means you can expect some serious change, which is what we all want.

People are laughing at the 40/1 Vegas odds. I'm not, it's realistic.

I was aswering Vantel's post about not deliberately losing the last game of the season to 'theoretically' improve the Canucks draft position. Don't just jump for the sake of arguement.

Canucks last to trips to SCF

Sedins in their prime Drafted 2 and 3
Bure and Linden in 92 two more top elit players

This year Chi and TB both have two top 5 picks
LA Doughty and Kopitar ( elite player)

Getzlaf and Perry
Malkin and Crosby?

See a pattern yet all these SC winners and finalist all have top 5 picks,

Edmonton has failed but right now are going to take a swing upwards and not only that but they have the assets to trade for any player they desire

I may have been the only who found this video brilliant when it first came out.

I loved it!

Referencing the hockey lockout I mean

He is going to grow up very quickly when he fights his first pro instead of a kid from JR. he was willing to battle a guy 6'5 when he played for the Comets.

I think he and Dorsett will do fine together next year

Canucks and Sabres closing in on deal involving Eddie Lack and Mikhail Grigorenko. Bank on this happening before Friday.
