It's a win/win in my books.
Hopefully the Canucks are dreadful enough to get a top 3 pick.

I have very little faith in this management group and could see them going all in on 145 lb winger Michkov. Kid is ultra talented, but I would stay very far away from him.

I’ve heard him compared to Kaprizov which is high praise but yeah if he’s 145 lbs then he’s a good 40-45 pounds away from being Kaprizov

I'm not going to freak out about the draft until it happens.
I'm still waiting to see if this is truly a rebuild.
I will have faith in them if they can get rid of Miller without it costing too much before his no trade kicks in.

Re-tool.

"We’re not looking towards a rebuild, I’d rather call it a retool,” said Rutherford.

“My preference is when we make these deals is not necessarily for draft picks that may come in and help the team four years from now, five years from now. I’d prefer to get younger NHL players that maybe didn’t work out in their entry-level contract. You know, bring them in, give them a second chance. We’ll still try to acquire some draft picks, but we have to go about this in a way that it’s not a long-term rebuild. And I think we can do that. The possibilities are out there… So it’ll be a mix of draft picks and hopefully younger NHL guys that have NHL experience.”

I am aware of what he said as it has been discussed ad nauseam in here and I watched the disastrous interview.

Be ready for your mind to be blown......He might say one thing but do another!
I know! Take some time to soak it in. Good luck.

I don't believe every word like it's set in stone as some do in here. Didn't matter what they did with Miller, didn't matter to me what they did with Horvat.

I'm not worried in the slightest if things do or don't happen.

Yup, best to let it play out and hope for the best.

Year 10 of the retool isn't looking very good....

A read a quote the other day somewhere that Gillis had mentioned that Horvat was the start of his rebuild.

i really like Horvat as a player, but 8 x 8.5aav for a career 50-60 point player is the biggest dodge the Canucks have done in 12 years.
