The Canucks fanbase should have expected this. A season of tank couldn't even end right.
So how was this supposed to go again? Play the youth this year and suck, then get rewarded by the lottery gods with a top three pick because we’re due. Tanking is the answer to all of a team’s worries. (except Edmonton). I think the Canucks followed this pretty well. They even had some of the vets take most of the year off so more rookies could play. And some of the vets that did play decided to have off years to help the Nucks suck even more.
