Colorado drafted some great/good/decent centers too, traded some away foolishly, but they’ve still won three Cups.

No brainer taking Sundin Lindros MacKinnon 1oa luck not drafting skill.

For starters the Pens lucked out drafting 2 generational players in Lemieux & Crosby. The Hawks were horrible forever & drafted Kane. The Av’s got MacKinnon. The Oilers 4 1oa’s & diddly squat for it. The Sabres 3 1oa’s & more squat.

You win cups from the top on down something the Canucks have struggled with for decades. The ‘82 cup run was magical showing how a team that goes through walls can prove pundits wrong til they ran into the dynasty Islanders. ‘94 was the best 7 game NHL series in NHL history. My bias is showing lol. Superboss Pat Quinn did turn it around for a lil while. Later the Naslund trade gave us a great shot at a cup til he was injured. ‘11 was one of the greatest seasons by an NHL team that blew it.

Here we are back to square 1 on a true rebuild & there is nothing to do but enjoy the journey not knowing where it will lead.

Blast to the past 1994 knocking out the Leafs in the 3rd round. To this day never made the 4th round.

Well training camp is coming fast. New season fresh start from mgmt on down.

MM at the helm cannot wait to see his systems & development plans for the kids & vets. The PK is a sore spot idk if the roster will change it much. I rather govus on line dynamics & how he constructs them. Time to suggest more line combos cuz I cannot help myself lol

I will assume Cootes goes to Abby & DeBrusk traded in season or the TDL. EP going nowhere.

Chytil EP Karlsson chemistry & a playdriver

Ohgren Rossi Boeser BRO line stays intact

DeBrusk Raty Lekerimaki Raty/Leki time

DOC Cotter Gallagher speed grit energy

Sasson platooning with Gallagher

Buium/Hronek expectations are high
Big O/Willander growth time for Willy
DPetey/Schenn grit & mentoring time

Kudryatsev/Mancini depth platooners
