At this point, I don't even care if they go on a run and get a couple of winning streaks, because ultimately this is just not a cup contending team. That will just give the front office (and/or the owner) more false hope, and continue to let this team spin their wheels. At least a rebuild can give the fans something to dream about and look forward to.

I think this management only saw the second half of last season, and made their evaluation based mainly on that. But they were not familiar with the team that was before Bruce came in, which is the true identity of this Canucks team. So they were expecting something close to that team they saw after they came in. To be fair, no one expected this kind of result from Demko though.

I think the "Bruce bump" last season, same as the bubble playoff run, gave the FO a false image that the team is competitive. Especially for a new FO that just came in and don't know much about the team and players, that second half of the season was all they had to evaluate on. Which lead them to think that the team is actually not that bad, and doubled down on the current roster instead of blowing it up. But the start of this season shows that the team under Travis last season is the true identity of this team, without the Bruce bump or godly Demko to mask the problems. So these past several "miracle runs" are actually hurting the team building in the long run.
