Because GMMG wants to follow the Detroit model, I don't see us tanking anytime soon. So I'm thinking and speaking of how we can possibly improve the team within the realm of realism, not a fantasy where we tank for a couple top 3 picks. It's easy to say some moves won't change the team, but you never know until it happens.

Then the Canucks will go nowhere. Like I said, there are no deals out there that make the Canucks elite. Why trade away prospects if they're not going to win the Cup.
If you want a trade so bad, look at the potential sellers in the league (there aren't that many, so that's easy). Then from there, target a player that you think will help the Canucks. Work out the salaries to see if the trade is feasible, and if so, count that as a potential trade. Post them up here to see just how many moves there really are. Fans who call for trades think they can just happen like magic. There's no doubt MG is on the phone 24/7 trying to improve this team. The fact that there have been no trades shows to me that nobody wants any Canuck players for the price MG is asking (which, like you, is likely a top-6 forward).
You say that my way of thinking is a fantasy. Well unfortunately, trading Edler for a top-6 forward who can score at will is as much pie-in-the-sky as tanking.
