Agree.
Constantly developing assets without Veteran lead Smells like something another team has done and fallen even shorter than us.
The Oilers.
The closest thing McD got to vet presence was his phone call from Messier to “rally” him to the great frozen plain with a giant water slide in its Mall.
The rest was brick laid on the kid.
I do feel sorry for him at times.
Gretzkys years their were phenomenal, and at a time the game evolved.. other teams didn’t catch up,
That generational change to go younger as a team.. that era may never be replicated.
The Canucks with players like Schenn and Miller are far better with , than without them.
Without them, quite frankly,.
we’re counting chickens before eggs hatch.
.. in the very least, the Canucks have shown up at the Finals every 10 years since their expansion.. that’s not too bad.
Damn, in comparison, The Leafs haven’t been there for 50 years.
Our recent rebuild with drafting offsetting this decade..
Rebuild almost rhymes with tank doesn't it?
