Vancouver's in that quandrey right now. They've slipped into the second level of contenders. I think that they know that they probably aren't going to beat a Blackhawks, Ducks or Kings team in a extended playoff round.
The Canucks had Cup aspirations so they might have to take a roll of the dice. I don't think Loungo with his age and contract is going to garner the return that they would want. They could trade CS but that would be a long term mistake.
they have a worse prospect pool then the Flames and that says a lot, so they have to be really careful about trading that first round pick, and they don't have that prospect that is going to bring in what they need.
The Canucks are heading into the same spiral as the Flames, should be interesting to watch.
Gilles had the benefit of inheriting a strong core and a fairly young core at the time, is he more then a caretaker GM? We'll soon find out.
And those jersey's were god awful, just saying.
