Canucks made the playoffs twice in the post Sedin build making it to game 7 of the second round in both of those runs. They won the division once.
Post Iginla Flames made the playoffs 5 times winning rounds twice losing in 5 games in both series. They won the division twice.
The Flames really kicked their rebuild off when the Canucks build was peaking so Calgary certainly has the head start. The Hughes trade was a huge boost of futures for the Canucks but the Flams have the better of the remaining chips.
Very interesting with both teams in a rebuild right now how they will each come out of it and who will have more success? Interesting to be going through a rebuild at the exact same time as a prime rival
