It isnt too hard to see why the Canucks are now so bad. Their 1st round picks the last 10 tears are: Grabner, White, Hodgson, Schroeder, Traded to Florida, Jensen, Gaunce, Shinaruk/Horvat, Virtanen/McCann, Boeser, Juolevi. Throw in the 11 years ago taking Luc Bourdon over Anze Koptitar its pretty easy to see the issue. 2006-2011 picks only Grabner has played regularly in the NHL (for other teams). Horvat may develop into a decent player but no star, Not clear if Virtanen is even an NHL calibre player as he's dumb as a bag of pucks. McCann was traded, too early to say with Boeser and Juolevi. Add in they have traded many of their 2nd and 3rd rounders away for guys like Linden Vey, have drafted very few late round gems, and traded away Luongo AND Schneider for almost nothing. It makes for a pretty bare cupboard. The Comets are one of the worst teams in the AHL, and there aren't any top scorers in the WHL, QMJHL or OHL that are Canuck property. They can fire the coach if they want, its not his fault the twins have finally started to play like mid 30 year olds. Canucks have had 15 years to draft replacements for them and haven't been able to even cobble together an NHL level second line never mind a new first line. Horvat and Sutter are 3rd line centers, none of the wingers after Ericcson are any better than 3rd line anywhere else either. Now they may finally tank AFTER two years of elite talent in the top 3 picks seems to be over. There aren't any McDavids, Eichels Mathews or Laines this year.
