VegasCanuck Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 If we finished dead last and hold best chances of winning the lottery and only mathematically able to slide back more than 2 positions, the league would STILL find a way where we draft 10th, if at all… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baratheon Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 In my daydreaming I took this fantasy to the next level! We acquire a first rounder via trade (Miller or Boeser or whoever!) and it wins the Bedard lottery randomly while we still make the playoffs that year. *Sigh* if only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Lol OP must've been a fan of the Oilers during those tanking years. Teams take forever to build back up when they strip away all assets and rebuild, and even if they're chock full of assets, many of them don't pan out (just look at the Panthers from the earlier 2000's, or the Coyotes). We shouldn't trade too much of our core, since we have good players. Just need some good choices by management to build the defense and they should be good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballisticsports. Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Seen many weird thigs with the Canucks and this would NOT be something they would do - EVER The Canuck way is when eliminated from playoffs they win remaining games and give hope for fans that the team is coming together for next year while lowering their draft position in winning meaningless games Edited February 7, 2022 by ba;;isticsports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnAntoski Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) The overall talent, in a draft will have to always be considered when a team, is tanking and it will be up, to the scouting staff to manage & mitigate the risk.

grandmaster Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Rutherford said he is not going to do a rebuild. He will be doing a re-tool and said that he likes a lot of the players on the team. So thankfully, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timråfan Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 1 hour ago, sxqhfeh said: those help his skating and physical strength? The skating is very strange. It has been a problem since someone convinced Petey to change angle on the skates. The physical strength, if we talk about that we can just hang in the skates at once since both our stars will be crushed in playoffs… For now we can just hope the NHL become more like Europe. Wasn’t that one of the reasons Benning choosed two such small players like Hughes and Petey? But, maybe that is the reason the window starts in two years. So both Petey and Hughes can bulk up a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have tested a lot of prospects at highest level to see how they handle the speed. Wich means we would tank heavily or find som nice gems hidden in Utica.

N4ZZY Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think if it was under the old draft system, then sure, the worse team would be guaranteed the first overall pick. But under the new draft system, the worse team in the league isn't guaranteed the first pick. That's a dangerous game to play. Selling off our best players only to hope that we get Bedard. What happens if we don't get him? I think we need to remain as competitive as we can, if next season we take one step back to take 2 steps forward, then that'll be worth it. One player does not make a championship team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we will have a shot at the window that opens in a couple of years. Or I might ask what you mean by compete and win… Is that winning more than 50% or be one of two last teams?

Or I might ask what you mean by compete and win… Is that winning more than 50% or be one of two last teams? I'm not the one you should be asking... Its EP, who says he wants to win... I have a feeling, that if he is honest about that, he won't hang around for a total rebuild... Your guess is as good as mine... But if it is tanking for Bedard it would mean being one of the last two teams, which doesn't sound much like winning... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
