Yes, they are. That's where you're wrong in all of this... which is the biggest factor in where someone like Tavares is going to be looking to sign. He's just spent years on a defensively inept team, and in this very post you just mentioned Vancouver may trade their best defensemen as part of their early rebuild.
They have a dismal back-end moving forward. That's a huge key in "turning it around" that they're not even close to beginning to address.
It makes them go from a remote chance of attracting a UFA like this to pretty much zero.
