All 3 western Canadian teams with disappointing years. Calgary finally bites the bullet and starts a rebuild. Edmonton fails to take a big step forward and finishes 12th. Vancouver swept in the first round.
I think Vancouver is in a tough spot now with no cap flexibility, no prospects, an aging team and a horrible GM with a fresh 5 year contract extension kicking in. Sure they will fire AV and probably buyout a couple guys to make tweaks but their window is closed and they slide to being a bubble team next year IMO. Slow and painful death awaits.
