The problem with this is Vancouver is going to be sorely lacking top line talent.
I read a lot of different sites / forums and I see so many Canuck fans acting like Virtanin, Horvat etc are locks to be top line players once the Sedins are on the way out.
I think - at best - they have a nice collection of potential second and third line young talent.
They're still a team with an older core that's on the decline and once they dry up I still see Vancouver bottoming out hard until they manage to draft some blue-chip talent that they currently lack.
