Tony Gallagher (The Province) The Canucks are OLD - Time to Rebuild?


Recommended Posts

well.. IF we are going to rebuild... IF.. then i'm going to say trade Schneider and get some quality prospect and 1st rounders to restock.. i mean if we are rebuilding.. chances are we won't be contending for years to come.. we have no can't miss prospect now like philly when they mis the playoff and then retooled and made the playoff the next.. so might as well trade Schneider.. bring lack up for lu to mentor him.. and by the time Lack is ready.. hopefully all the prospects are good to go.. there's no point of keeping schneider here IF we are rebuilding.. coz chances are he'll walk when free agent hits anyways coz we are no longer contending.. and by the time we are ready to contend again.. we won't know whether Schneider is still the goalie he is today.. but that's only if we are going into rebuild.

This is really the playoffs where we see that our core just can't win in the playoffs. Last year we could say the hangover and of course LA, It is obvious now that the Sedins are just not dependable in the playoffs, it is painful to watch them.

The series isn't over but for this team to win it needs to reverse a trend that has been going on for a long time and that is the lack of offense. It's not going to happen. What is even more revealing is that Jose is good but they are not going to win the conference.

If gillis swallowed his ego and traded for Torres and a face off specialist there wouldn't be a need. Philadelphia and Edmonton have been disastrous rebuilds the last thing we need.

The expected early exit is just what is needed, another wake up call. They should have started to rebuild after the cup final against Boston. Anyway the theme of the Johnny Canuck videos is one of striving through never ending failure, so another chapter and on and on. Gillis and AV the management that blew it !

Tony would know about the light fading slowly away wouldn't he. And after the light fades, reanimation begins and the need to feast on human flesh is unbearable.

All the same, the core isn't going to get it done. The Sedins have hit their peak and are now on the downslope. They have never been very good in the playoffs, and this year is no different.

Kesler should get the C, and trades must be made.
