It's clear to the majority of people out there (except Vancouver fans) that the Canucks are going to be a first round knock out rather easily if they even make the dance at all, so changes will need to be made by Gillis if he wants to keep his job.
I think they'll be buyers and give up quite a bit of the future to win now.

Absolutely. They traded Schneider, their goaltender of the future. The future is not their biggest concern right now, its winning immediately.
Unfortunately for the Canucks no one on their roster understands urgency.
