“It just seems like they can’t quite quiet down the noise and there’s always something going on whether it’s organizationally or on the ice or something and you just kind of wish they could pick a lane or pick a plan and stick with it. I know it’s challenging, it’s not easy and you always have moving parts and they’re always pretty proactive, but is the proactiveness for the better or is it just to shuffle the deck here and now you’re left with a last place team.” Schneider said.
He added, “So, I know that fan base and that city they don’t really want to rebuild, it’s never a fun word to say, but it seems like they’re heading in that direction and the scary part about rebuilds is you never know when you’re going to come out. You look at some teams around the league that are just starting to emerge, the Buffalo’s, the Detroit’s, the Ottawa’s, the Montreal’s as you mentioned. It can be a while, so it’s a risky path and you’ve got to get some luck and pick the right guys, but you know I’d like to maybe…not that they owe me anything, but it would be nice to kind of hear what the plan is and who the guys are going forward that they want to build around and continue to have the next generation of Canucks. But for now, it’s pretty bleak times unfortunately for the city.”
