Loui on the bench is an absolute travesty! Shame!

This team is worse. Downright terrible but the current team is performing incredibly poor as well.

It would be this year, my guess is you are talking about 3 years ago when this roster was together.

Turns out Tanev is a bigger loss to this organization than any of us expected. I really thought he would decline sharply because of his injury history. It never happened though. We must also remember the canucks D core was scoffed at during this era too, which is why it was tweaked the following two years with no forward progress. An attempt to redo the D core, while necessary, proved to harm the team more as none of the additions worked and it was a sacrifice to the forward core.

Collectively all this "moves that look good on paper but dont work out" methodology has destroyed the locker room mentality which ultimately is why a team that looks decent on paper is performing so terribly.
While the current team is much, much better on paper, the mindset of the players is no longer a team that thinks they can get better. They no longer push themselves and therefore this core will never get better.
