Are you are saying the players now feel disrespected by management since they tried to trade away those players. Does a GM failing at his job (trading trafing the top wing and 3c) make the players feel more confident in him?
i agree with what you are saying but there has to be a concession of thought. It would be a little bit of a bitter pill for some potentially but the other side is 2 players willing to leave the team over a disagreement on contracts at year end.

The worst possible scenario is unloading players for next to nothing AND sabotaging the season in the process.

I could go on in length about the things I’ve been right about, but I’ve been wrong on so many things I kinda like to laugh at my wrong opinions.
 
Canucks trying to pull a 2024 Caps move to barely make the playoffs only to get swept by the Jets.

They’re also probably hoping to rebuild in the offseason in a similar fashion to the Caps and try to compete again. We’ll see if they’ll be able pull that off with all the upcoming cap space on July 1.

The jets are a great team, but are starting to establish a pretty solid reputation of losing in the first round. I don't think it's a forgone conclusion the Canucks would be an easy out for them.

Are we watching the same Canucks team? At this point - I'd be surprised if we weren't swept by the Jets in the 1st round

The jets classically ride the shit out of Hellebuyck and then he's got nothing left come the playoffs.

They've been out in the first round the last two years in a row, before that they missed. Before that they were the weird covid playoffs and play in series and they still weren't great.

They are the leafs of the west.

The Canucks aren't great. But with Hughes healthy, maybe Demko, if Boeser gives a shit and pettersson continues to shake whatever funk/ injury etc he was dealing with. I'd rather face the Jets in the 1st round.

You are aware playoffs and regular season are two different types of hockey?

Not that I think what you are saying is outlandish, just the certainty of such a specific outcome is a bit much. I think it’d be a longer series 6/7 games.
 
Unfortunately, the Canucks as a team who cannot score, playing in a league where controlling the scoring chances is king, have found their level as Jim of American Wedding fame.
