The Canucks need to add to that group, not subtract for more middling picks.
Their two closest rivals both made it to the second round - one has two top-5 players in the world, the other had an off-season for the ages.
They don’t want to be left behind, they want to be in the fight.
This isn’t a video game. You have sponsors and suite holders, season tickets holders and casual fans to appease, and if you’re going to trade your leading scorer, the Flames made it unacceptable to trade him for anything less than a star in return.
If no one was offering that, you pay what it costs to keep your 99 point #1C in town and see what happens.

Cool story bro. That's nice that the Canucks were able to keep themselves visible in our rearviews and "keep pace". Cute. I'm happy for them.
I have no idea who/what you're arguing against, but you tell em!
Have to give it to the resident whale folk, they sure are nicely poised for bubble team mediocrity for years to come.
