The #1 most crucial step in a rebuild is removing the cornerstone players of the old core. While they are still in place team culture, attitude and identity remain the same getting progressively more stale by the year until it becomes bull blown rot. The old leaders most be moved out so the young guys coming up can grab those leadership spots and re-make the team in their own image. Look at Calgary, they stubbornly refused to move out Iginla, who is as important to them as Trevor is to us, the moment they surrendered and moved him things started to go right for that team, new leaders popped up out of nowhere and the team became exciting vibrant and fun to follow. This year or last should have been the season the Sedins moved on to Washington or Montreal or even FLA or NAS to go get their cup. and the year Horvat and other top picks made this team their own,  Burrows and Hanson could remain to make sure the kids stay on track.

Well, I don't think Jake has been smoking any crack (Willy has been hogging it all judging by his twitchy mannerisms) now that I think a...

“Resolution, like responsibility, is a product of ownership, and kids can't resolve a conflict until they figure out how they contributed to it.”  ―  Richard Eyre ,  The Entitlement Trap: How to Rescue Your Child with a New Family System of Choosing, Earning, and Ownership We are to blame for it all. That's right, Louis Eriksson's goal drought, Jake Virtanen's rushed development, the lack of goal scoring even, it is all our fault. The "We"I refer to is anyone who has put a dollar into the pocket of the Vancouver Canucks and more specifically, The Aqualinni family over the past three years. And what a three years it has been! The inter-fan squabbling over "Re-build re-tool" philosophies filled many a message board with lively debate and a good time for all, but the fun is over , the debate ceased and as the smoke clears one and all realize what a few were saying all along: This ship is going down! Only now in November of 2016 we awake ...
