With Quinn’s contract approaching, it got me thinking—what do you all believe gives the Canucks the best shot at winning a Stanley Cup? A major factor is whether Quinn decides to stay or leave. If he stays, a rebuild is clearly off the table (and rightfully so).
Personally, it’s tough to envision a path where wheeling and dealing alone transforms this team into a true contender. I’m starting to feel like a full-scale rebuild might be the only realistic solution.
On the other hand, we are the 7th youngest team and management did a great job rebuilding the defense and you would hope they could do the same with the forwards.
If Quinn stays, a retool is probably the safest bet.
But my question is: even if Quinn commits to staying, what strategy would give this team the best chance to hoist the Cup—or at least build a roster that can contend consistently, year after year? Curious to hear your thoughts.
