I never said that.
Its not the twins fault that management caters to them.
The reality is that Linden and Benning have made numerous comments regarding the Sedins calling their shots,how a rebuild isn't fair to the Sedins, how the twins are Canucks for as long as they want to be, how they need to know the Sedins long term plans before they can formulate a strategy for the trade deadline, etc.....
I'm not blaming the Twins for the front office mess, thats on the front office.
Its just time for a change, if a new management team comes in this offseason the last thing I want to hear from them is any indication that they need to run their plans by the Sedins
That's spot on. Until there is a management group who can see the twins for what they are now, not what they were, this team can't move forward. The Sedins should be viewed as an option for next season. It shouldn't be, if they want to play, "here's the check book, fill in your number". If there are better options to spend money on, do it. Don't fell obligated to sign them. If that means that they have to be Modano and Alfie and play a year in Detroit, before they retire, so be it. Marleau left SJ to Toronto.
Once the twins signed their 4 years $28 million extensions in Nov 2013, they were going to be Canucks for life.
The forward core after 13-14 was weak. Burrows, Bonino, Higgins, Hansen, Kassian, Richardson, Mathias. Schroeder was 5 years removed from his draft, Jensen 3 years, Gaunce 2 (and needing AHL time), Bo and Shink a year removed.
The D core of Hamhuis, Bieksa, Garrison was going to age quick. Hammer turned 32, KB 33, Garrison, 30 in 2014. Window was shrinking fast. Either push all the chips in or rebuild.
