Canucks are going to have to grind for every single goal right now… and that’s hard.
when you’re gonna have to grind for every single goal, it’s hard. And that’s why, you know, I always looked at Phil Kessle this way. The value in Phil Kessle is I think every team needs to have someone who can just skate down the wing and snap in a couple of goals easy. Like one of the greatest luxuries you can have is having a guy that can score an easy goal. Because when you have to grind for every tiny little goal that you have or any scoring chance, it’s hard and it takes it out of you. and the other team marches down the ice and and they score fast, you’re like, “Ugh.” But when you have a guy that can just come down the wing and snap a couple in really fast, the whole bench just goes, “Okay, all right, Phil just snapped in two for us.” It’s tough. And and this is probably what Vancouver is going to have to go through
“When you have to grind for every single goal, it’s hard… but that’s what Vancouver is going to have to go through here”

The problem is that when you're drafting in the 10-15 range every year because you've accepted mediocrity (I blame ownership, not management because I wasn't born yesterday), the chances of you getting that elite sniper diminish significantly. That doesn't mean you CAN'T draft the next Rocket Richard winner, but it gets a lot more difficult. The Canucks have basically done that to themselves because ownership wouldn't allow a rebuild. As a result, they basically have no other alternative but to take on reclamation projects like Reichel and others, hoping they get lucky. Then again, as grouchy as this market is right now, if ownership and management announced that at minimum, they were doing a retool if not rebuild, fans would mutiny. But it's a case of now or later. Eventually, the Canucks will be forced to do a rebuild because Hughes isn't going to stay if he thinks he's not going to have a chance to win a championship, and once that happens, they might as well rebuild.
Speaking of Phil Kessel I was hoping he would sign with the Canucks too bad
