Re: What is <i>up</i> with your team? –– non-SCF edition

Sbisa's terrible contract, Sutter's terrible contract, trading one of their best forward prospects for a bad older defenseman, bleeding picks for no reason whatsoever, failing to get anything for two valuable UFAs, trading a really good prospect for a worse, older center prospect (I swear he mixed up the Granlunds), Dorsett's terrible contract, the Prust trade and then the entire debacle of his playing time and demotion...I mean, it's been a shitshow.

The Kesler trade has become Gudbranson, Sbisa and Sutter, basically, a few fairly awful players. Picks would have been preferable to having those players suit up and take ice time from younger players drafted with those picks he didn't get. McCann was the best asset from that deal and now he's gone.

The Bieksa trade is only mediocre, not terrible, because that pick went to Pittsburgh for some strange reason. They got a second for Bieksa and decided to downgrade it to a third because why the hell not. Even the moves they got "right" they've managed to since bungle after the fact. It's a tire fire.

Vancouver has been terrible at drafting (possibly bottom five) , which is why they are in this awful spot. I don't think picks would help them any into they get new scouts or new management or something.

I don't know, they've done okay with the picks they've managed to get in recent years. Horvat should be a slam dunk and if they trade him they should probably just fold the franchise, McCann was also "safe" but a good pick, Shinkaruk will be good, Virtanen has talent...they just have to stop trading them all, fuck's sake. Horvat/McCann/Shinkaruk/Virtanen is a good little prospect pool of forwards. Add some defense to that and luck into a high pick or two and bam, the rebuild is underway. Use later picks to try and find more "safe" picks to fill out the roster. This is what every other team does.

Two of them are gone for crap. Horvat will have to deal with "foundational piece" Sutter in his way for the next several years. It's like they want to play a different game than everyone else and make it harder for themselves.

They definitely need new management.
