Agreed, and I think many posters are off on their perception of the situation. My bet is that Alvin & Rutherford are going to try to resign Suter, Boeser, and Forbert. Then look to free agency and a big trade including significant forward assets/prospect (I don't think much is off the table other than EP40, DeBrusk, Gar, most of our current D). The goal being the addition of a 2C AND legit top 6 F. Include some grit / size with at least one of those additions.Makes perfect sense to me. Quinn Hughes doesn't give a shit about who the Canucks could draft 15th overall in a weak draft.
We can't get softer and expect to compete in the playoffs. We also now have much more proof that a few younger players can step into full time roles. It will take creativity on management's part, but the potential to have one of our strongest line-ups ever next year exists.
