This season and the playoffs will be used to determine whether the Sedins are worth it in the long run to be Canucks in terms of our playoff success. Do you keep the twins or do a complete rebuild of the first line?

i agree with the SJ emulation. Thornton, but moreso even "gutless" Marleau have taken a step back and let the kids in Pavelski and Couture take over
the kids in vancouvers system: Horvat, shattenkirk, guance, jensen...look to need some seasoning still. i would not hand over the reigns to them so fast. So expect the sedins to get at least 3 years
but oh god, if Luongo were to go, its time to hit the reset button. MG and the italian mafia of Aquiliinis better be pumping and humping his tires
