I see a lot of Canuck content and hear it from my friends out here. Fact is, early last season most of them felt they needed a full-on rebuild but ownership was preventing it. They thought, after the return for Chucky and the addition of Kadri, that we were in a good place to push towards contending.
Then they found out what a management team who aren't braindead like Benning was can do and without a teardown they're nothing like the tire fire they were a year ago. If you avoid too many long-term cap killing contracts, shop for bargains after all the free-agent frenzy has settled down, and invest in your coaching staff and especially a good pro scouting group, you can make savvy pickups and complement what we have coming up with our young guys.
