Vancouver is doing no such thing and are stockpiling their prospects right now. They are signing these veterans (Miller, Vrbata) to shorter contracts because their main purpose is to show the upcoming prospects a more winning environment and help them along (unlike what Edmonton is doing).
I don't believe this team will truly rebuild until the Sedins are gone. Does it suck that our chances to grab McDavid went down? Hell yes. Does this team have any hope to compete for a Stanley Cup? Nope. But at least they aren't going to be like the Oilers.

No top end prospects, hate to burst your bubble
