Let's assume what looks to be the inevitable occurs and the Canucks clean house.
What would you want the new management team to do? Where do we go from here?
Vancouver Canucks Salary Cap, Draft Picks, and Player Contracts - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps
Let's also assume that our good players turn things around in the near future and play closer to their expectations (because if not, we're truly boned). I think most would agree our weaknesses in that case are defense and bottom-6.
The bottom-6 is theoretically easier to fix as bottom-6ers are usually more available than legit top-4 D-men. Right now I can't see any top-4 RD being available barring significant overpayment.
Currently we have 25M tied up between OEL, Myers, Pearson, Hamonic and Dickinson. None of these contracts could be moved without paying a price.
So what do we do? And how long until a legitimate window opens for us?
