strategy's_touch 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 nice of backes to start doin stuff but it's too late obv. I think the Canucks are the better team but stand roughly zero chance against the blues in the next few years. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Canucks are the better team but stand roughly zero chance against the blues in the next few years.Depends on if the Sedins and/or Luongo get locked up. A lot of their core (Burrows, Bieksa, Salo, Edler) is already under contract for the next 2-4 years and I'm sure others will re-sign (Kesler, Mitchell). Also, they have Hodgson, Grabner, and Schneider on their way up. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw this one coming.there's a difference between "which team has a brighter future""Vancouver has rougly zero chance in the next few years"Its not nearly as clearcut and a foregone conclusion as you make it out to me. Like the other poster said.....Luongo and Sedins re-sign, and its still a question mark. Link to post Share on other sites

Like the other poster said.....Luongo and Sedins re-sign, and its still a question mark.I meant zero chance against the blues. the blues have the best defense and easily top-5 forward corps in the NHL, just a matter of waiting for the kids to settle in and start dominating. maybe I overstated it a little, but I don't think it's close between the two franchises--the blues have the better future.expanding on my current emotional health, you really gotta put it in the context of the last five seasons or so. they've been the worst in the NHL for a long while... I'm ecstatic that they even made it this far with the number of injuries. Link to post Share on other sites

To use their better prospect pool to project who will have the better team also ignores who has the better existing veterans and ability to sign FAs. Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely overstated things when this conversation began. I still think total regular season points in the next two seasons will be a blowout in the blues favor and would bet that with rich.
