They got fire and we (the fans) got screwed. ownership has been a problem here since they got full control nothing will change until they are gone.

Sad thing is they probably could have given the Sedins one more chance at a playoff run had they done a rebuild then. Team could have been competitive by the 15-16 season if the rebuild was done proper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and depending who wants to stay we could get about 4 to 5 firsts and 4 prospects in three years should turn it around. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby James Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Hindsight and all that, but damn imagine if after the window passed on the Sedin era team they went with a rebuild plan and moved our vets for picks/prospects. We could have been in a much different place. Instead we have a somewhat young team with good young pieces but a few giant contracts on vets, no identity or plan other than re-tool on the fly (which is very hard to do). I still think re-sign Bo to 7 or below (hopefully below), build around Petey, Hughes and Demko and trade Miller this year (before new deal kicks in) and 1 of Garland/Boeser. OEL will be too hard to move so we have to accept he'll be our #2 LHD for the foreseeable future (I don't hate him, just a little overpaid imo). Meyers I'm less concerned about since he has only this year and 1 more left (and his money situation makes him easier to move next year if needed). If that is all done then we will at least have cap space going forward and hopefully bring back some draft picks or prospects. If this season keeps going terribly, oh well hopefully get a top 5 pick (we'll never get #1 Canucks fans, we know we're cursed so don't plan on it) and maybe some other good picks in a deep draft then next year look to move forward.

Ues bit again that is the way we have been going in retools and have we got any better?Trade everyone we can and do a proper rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we’re in the crosshairs as fans, but AQ is getting the butt end of the stick and for me that’s a silver lining. Screw him and screw his family. They are what’s wrong in that franchise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottawa Detroit and Buffalo had a bad time last year too. You are missing how optimistic this tweet was. He could have mentioned that the teams under us were spending near or below the cap floor. There weee years were Ottawa and Arizona had tiny budgets and used free IR players on insurance to fake making it to the cap floor. In terms of wins per dollar spent we are almost certainly #1 (last) with a bullet. A doom and gloom journalist would have mentioned that part…. Drance was trying to pump us up by calling us just almost worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
