Lui's Knob Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 How Long will the retool rebuild take before the team is competing again with the elites? Top of the league? I predict it'll be a 3 year turnaround when the Sedins are relegated to 2nd or third line and guys like horvat gaunce shink and maybe Jensen are more mature and experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinkaruk_9 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 After this core is gone, so that is ~4 years IMO... then we're going to finish near bottom [Hopefully] So I would say 8 years Unless, we get a high draft pick next year. Then I agree on 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelon Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 1-3 years. This offseason we have way more cap than we have ever had in recent memory and if Gillis plays his cards right, we could be elite as early as next season. If not then we have to wait for Horvat, Gaunce, Shinkaruk and Jensen to have great rookie years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Fig Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If begun in earnest this summer, 2-3 years. The longer management puts it off the longer the recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 We have been losing in a very Elite way if that helps? Do you know how hard it is to give up 7 goals to the NY Islanders in the Third Period??? I mean, come on! That takes something special!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islanders are capable of scoring many goals, only reason why they gave penguins a run for their money last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortorellatheboss Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I honestly think this year has just been bad luck...there's been stretches where we were great, but we had a lot of injuries. I think we'll be 6th or 7th in the west next year...now, elite? Well that could be a while...for one thing, our goaltending is weaker, Sedins production dropping, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenDrinkin Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 It's pretty arrogant to assume we will be elite, but I say we're a top 8 or 9 team in 2 years. Maybe even better in 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 the next core will peak in 7-8 years. they'll make the playoffs most of the years in between though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time Lord Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Next year will be about as good as last season (shortened season). In 2016, we will be as good as the 2010 season team. And in 2017, we will win the cup with Horvat, Shinkaruk, Gaunce, and others on entry level contracts Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hard to say when it will mostly depend on how well we draft. I'd guess as soon as the Sedins' contracts are up, around 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Skylit Drive Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Two years.I sure we will be grabbing quality forwards for once instead of dmen in the free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribaljohn Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If they hang on to the core players too long the re-build can't begin until those contracts expire, that's four years. If the drafting is great the team could hover around the middle of the pack never getting to elite status. If the core gets dealt away for assets this draft year, you can look at 3-4 years of development with another 2-3 years of learning how to play, compete at NHL level. So 5-7 years. If assets are components to fit around Sedins, being a mid range team is again possible. We could be looking at a 5 years of downward spiral, followed by 5 years of moving to top of the league. If it was an easy question to answer I would know that the GM is being let go, along with his replacement. I would also know that the current coach was being retained, or let go. I would know that Kesler, Burrows, Edler, KB, Higgins, would be dealt away for assets. Not on part of the question is easy to answer to many variables. So I am going to stop talking.
