I agree their blueline is not good, but they are also a very attractive city and I think they can accelerate their re-build by attracting some quality free agents.
The Joe Levi pick was a whiff so far, as was the Virtanen pick - they'd be a lot scarier if they hadn't blown those.

Could you imagine if they take Nylander/Ehlers and Tkachuk instead of those two? Canucks just may have been an attractive place for Tavares instead of only having the ability to give him the largest 7 year contract without the opportunity to win. Just goes to show how critical it is for rebuilding/bad teams to hit on their top 10 picks as you earn that early pick based off a bad 82 game season and not hitting on it makes for a total waste of that season. Petterson looks like a hit though unfortunately.
