I
didn’t really understand the blow up the core.
my opinion. I saw some posts saying players are going to be past their prime ect. We have one of the youngest cores still. I think the average age on the team was 26-27. That’s still a very young team. We had some bumps and growing pains but I never wanted the core to be dismantled. Players primes late 20s 27-32. Even then a lot of players have break out years early-mid 30s.
The Canucks have been through many coaching changes and systems. Also past GMs didn’t build a solid supporting cast. Felt like they were just after whatever they could get.
I believe now there is a solid core as always was just learning but becoming mature and confident. I think the Horenk trade was stellar. We need to solidify the D and they have done just that. Supporting cast is doing their jobs. While I don’t think this 9-2-1 pace will continue I do think now we are headed for the playoffs which is well needed experience.
there will always be bumps through the season but healthy goaltending, solid back up. And everyone doing what they need to we will have a great season will still a young core.
TLDR; core wasn’t the problem. Young team still. Supporting cast finally solidified along with D. Having a break out year. Healthy tending. Teams growing with lots of potential.
systems and stability in place. Bumps still bound to happen.
LFG!!!
