With speculation that Burrows just nixed waiving his NTC, Benning and the Canucks are going to be hurting for a while on some of those deals.

Shades of 2010 Flames.
with the difference being the Canucks through trade have picked up two extra first round picks the last two seasons, and have made two top 10 picks

they aren't trading away 1st/2nd round picks for Vets like the Flames did for Jokinen and Cammileri

the Flames in 2009 Picked Erixon, in 2010 had no 1st

so if they are the 2010 Flames, there's a really good chance the 4 first round picks they had the last 2 seasons are going to help over the next 4 seasons, than what the Flames got out of the 1st round in 09 and 10

Unless the Canucks start trading futures to push for a playoff spot it's not really a close comparison
