yep, it's well past the point of saving this season. all these years of being told to be patient while they keep applying band-aid solutions have finally caught up to them.
i said it quite a long time ago that losing those key guys would affect the core and not a lot of people agreed. well, here we are.
Tanev was the biggest lost imo I said it at the time and it’s a huge detriment to Hughes development imo
I've been screaming that along with you, it was so obvious during that playoff run. Dudes called him Dad for fucks sake... For grown men to call another man Dad... he was the leader of that team, or at least the D.

I would say Baumgartner is a huge detriment to Hughes development and is the reason why the Canucks D is amongst the worst in the league. Tanev, Stecher, Schmidt even Gudbranson are playing better than they ever did playing here.
Depressing to see the bruins who have been competitive since winning the cup in 2011 VS us who have been in essentially shambles since..
Better to lose than win these games imo send a message to dummy owner that this is not working.
I was wondering the same thing but Boston had 26 year old Bergeron and 23 year old Marchand. Do give them credit to sell lucic, seguin, and other core players to go youthful.
Also hitting on Patsrnak and McAvoy helps... lol
Whereas our 2011 core went to basically Karlson, Suter, and Pearson today.
lol
I wish it was as simple as just hitting on a couple draft picks............
It's a top to bottom organization thing... I can't remember what I was watching, and it was obviously biased being, most likely, produced BY the Bruins organization... but saw a clip of what it's like to be a new draft pick in Boston and they work so had at instilling a pride and hard work thing and reinforcing if not flat out brainwashing them into believing they're playing for the best sports franchise on this earth... and I guess they have the history to back it up to a certain extent, being an original 6 team and having championships.
What do we have to point at to anyone... oh yah legacy... I mean we retired Stan Smyl's jersey ffs... guy would have been a 3rd line plug on most other teams of the era. Not exactly the kind of stuff that makes a kid go wowwwww I'm so lucky to be here.
More like "Okay... cool... so where's the best sushi place and night spot?" "Does it always rain this much here?"
Ugh........ even newer orgs like Tampa Bay... they found success bringing in proven winners like Yzerman... somehow they got massive buy-in from all their players culture wise AND drafted/traded/signed well even without having all the nostalgia to bank on or reinforce their rhetoric...
Canucks have Benning, an AHL defenceman and a gritty ex-power forward with a limited skillset.

All I ever hear when we get new players is "what it means to be a Canuck". I can tell you being a fan for over 30 years I don't know what that fucking means lol

Yup most people don't realize Boston was rising to the peak and Canucks already were at the peak coming down.

Tampa with 3 cups to their names already.
FFS even Carolina has 1
Our problem is we keep reminiscing about our cup final failures... the what if's. What blockbuster franchise shaking moves has this organization really do? Trade for Luongo is probably the most significant. Every other star player was just the team running them out of town. This team has went from goalie graveyard to plain old player graveyard
