The Canucks are playing their young players in top 6/4 roles with good players. Which team is supposed to be rebuilding?

The team that's developing it's prospects and isn't rushing them to the NHL?
Even if the above were accurate and true (which I doubt... at least in totality) I think the inferrence it's built on is faulty (that the rebuilding team is the one that should be playing their young players in top 6/4 roles). IMO it's contending teams that should be doing that (filling holes in the line-up with highly touted prospects in order to maximize cap space elsewhere to create depth or to fill a gap with a player that overs upside in excess of the value a lesser skilled but more experienced player has to offer.
