Sooo when the Canucks were technically tanking by accident in the late 90s/early 2000s where were those fans then? Yeah sure tickets would become available to the younger crowd. But how sustainable would that be is the question with respect to that.
And yes you're right the Detroit model is how you described it. Since 2003 (except for the 2-3 times they missed the playoffs) you could argue that the Canucks had a chance to win it all every year. But no cup to show for it. Detroit has 4 in theirs. So in that sense, I don't think the Canucks have much to show for modelling themselves after Detroit.
Given the division they play in now and the team as it's currently constructed, do you honestly believe that the Canucks will be "competitive" in the coming years? Making the playoffs to get bounced in the first round in 4/5 games is hardly competitive in my humble opinion.
