you realize that you guys are just 3 years behind us in the rebuild right now...

you will toil in mediocrity for a few years, until the rebuild is a necessity

(just like we did)

When did your rebuild start? I would say ours started when we drafted Horvat. But it will never be called a rebuild around the club.

Until the unmovable contracts get moved, then it will be a slow rebuild. It wont be full on till these contracts reach their final year. Thus become move-a-ble.

As of now:

5 1sts in 3 years (Shinkaruk, Horvat, Virtanen, McCann, Boeser) + a possible hidden gem in Cassels. Good start for a team thats not in a total rebuild just yet.

Whats missing? No prospects on D. None that project top 2 pairing that is.

Alright if I happen to know anythings its a rebuild seeing as ive witnessed one going on for ten years now....so the first step in your guys rebuild is to have someone in the front office who happens to know a thing or two about winning......

Agreed. Now that Both teams have former Boston execs, Vancouver just needs to win the lottery 4 times! including the best player since Lemieux/Gretzky.

Cant wait to start watching Connor play.

Hey now, Lowe and MacTavish did one good thing, they chased away all the corporate types and made it uncool to watch hockey in Edmonton, so that all the regular people types could get tickets.

I don't think it's fair to consider either of them to be busts. They've both played nearly 200 games in the NHL which is what you want out of draft picks. That being said, for being such high draft picks, their careers have both gone swirling into the toilet bowl.

I look forward to the time when sedins are in their final year and we can debate
Who to trade them to/whether they will resign for hometown discounts.
how many years left? 2/3?

ya, just when they keep producing, others on the team get slower....Sedins still are great players, the Canucks D line aged pretty quick...time to let Edler go as well...

4 of the top 6 are 34 years old. The only thing they are winning is a Ben Gay ad.

Of course there is still a small chance they may turn it around but there has really been no indication of that. I'm ok with Prust here out of the Hogdson/Kassian debacle.
