Gorton / Hughes on multiple occasions refuse to even acknowledge the word rebuild always trying to dance around the term, it ain’t happenin..
Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season
- Thread starter GGpX
- Start date
So what? Lawyers, of which Hughes is one, frequently engage in verbal gymnastics. It means nothing. We’ll see what the actions are, as CH said.
I recall your self-assurance that Emile Castenguay was going to replace Biceps as the GM . . . because Geoff talked about “more diversity” in the team’s management - maybe he meant to say “Canucks management” - which so far seems he really didn’t mean. See how that actions speak louder than words thing works? I don’t think it’ll be a 7 year rebuild either but 2-3 is within reason.

Gorton/Hughes raised the bar high “we want to be a serious contender every year”
The only thing “obvious” to me is that no NHL team has ever accomplished this in one offseason.
So unless their actions prove otherwise, my default hunch will be rebuild
Just like my default hunch with Marc (“once you make the playoffs anything can happen”) Bergevin was “no rebuild”.

my hunch is that Gorton/Hughes said “this shit takes time but if you hire us wizards, we’ll do it quickly…. Here’s our plan…..”
correction : will fail trying
Its 2-3 if the right moves are made , to even get to respectability
There is no frame to work , not one star core piece

and why would they sit down with vets like Petry, Gallagher, Anderson to discuss the "future"?
Hawks have been done for years , window is shut
Time to move Patty and give a contender 2 playoffs before his contract is up
Exactly , they are just dancing around the subject spewing crap
The only way to get better is to eat cap and dump Gally , Petry , and 31 if he is physically and mentally ready to go next year
Team missed the boat on Suzuki deals at 125% but maybe can salvage .80 on the dollar and get some picks / prospects in return
Hoping some kids like Guehle are studs in 2 years and team has 2 kick ass drafts in a row
Only way Hughes can preach to be a contender every year is stop being a PRETENDER

Panthers D Juolevi, Kraken F Czarnik placed on waivers - TSN.ca
The Florida Panthers placed defenceman Olli Juolevi on waivers Saturday while the Seattle Kraken also waived forward Austin Czarnik.

I would 100% take a shot on Juolevi.
No idea what's happened to him since he got drafted. Maybe that rumor about him being addicted to video games has some validity to it, who knows, but still.

Too many major injuries but he was overrated in junior
Mete outplayed him in London in his draft year
