6 to one, half a dozen to the other. It is the same thing. Is San Jose really going to gut their team so badly that the Canucks will be a playoff team and they won't? I don't see how. Even without Marleau or Thornton, they are loaded with emerging young talents. Or the other thought diane had was that Anaheim has been lucky two years in a row because of a high scoring % and will somehow come back to earth so much so that the Canucks might overtake them. Really? That would have to be a major regression, and this after they added a superior player. So any way you want to spin it, the idea that the Canucks might make the playoffs seems to be fairly optimistic on the Canucks part, either by overrating their own talent or suggesting that the Pacific division will suddenly become the metropolitan.
