I fully acknowledge I don't have the 40-50 years of fandom some of CDC seem to.   I also don't really give any credibility to the past management/players in terms of what it means to the present team and its future.   With that out of the way, I have been involved and following/playing hockey since before I could walk and part of that has always been an intense following of teams I like.   NEVER in that time have I had more optimism about a team to change its fortunes given the combination of management (NHL/AHL), coaches (NHL/AHL) current young players and current prospects PLUS the lottery additions this year (and probably next).    The Canucks this year were FUN to watch most nights and play a very fast, uptempo game that will translate well moving forward.    

Bring on the future!   It will be a blast to watch this team develop.   There are so many development stories that still need to be written and so many sub-plots about competition for spots, who will be in AHL, what current prospects break down the door this fall etc.
