Should Utah Hockey Club still rebuild or try to win?

[viper0220]

I have been wrestling with this for a while, should Utah try to suck for a bit and get more high end draft picks or should they try to win?

Getting another top 5 may go along for them.

What do you guys think?

Win now.

Win now.

Do they have the pieces to win? Being a Flames fans, I know you need a franchise center(which the Flames never had).

They are pretty deep in prospects. Let them develop and sign a few nice pieces to round out the roster.

Carter Hart

And Mitch Miller for good measure.

Real nice guys.

I don't mean win the Cup, but try to compete for the playoffs.

Should they not aim for the cup?

I think you want to drive ticket sales. have to win now. especially in a new market. We're not sure if that market will be anything like Vegas market. should try to win now, that said its up to the owners what he wants to do. I think they should try to win now, of course Utah fans are aware they've been rebuilding the last decade so thats that.

 

[ClydeLee]

They've been near the uptick of their current prospect zone. Last year's draft was a confusion to many, but they have some prime offensive prospects now. And time to grow a market right off the bat

 

[CanadienShark]

Should they not aim for the cup?

Well yes, but I don't think you often go from no playoffs to winning the cup the next year. Take the next step into competing is my point.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Should they not aim for the cup?

That's completely unrealistic. Aim for the playoffs and get some experience.

 

[Albatros]

They're not ready to win now. At best they're a borderline playoff team. Fine depth, but few players that can make the difference against other competitive teams.

If he reaches his potential then Cooley.
