Henrik Sedin seems resigned to the fate of the Vancouver Canucks, who have begun prepping for the future by adding highly touted Nikita Tryamkin to the active roster.
The Edmonton Oilers also hope their best days are ahead behind rookie Connor McDavid.
Tryamkin will try to build on his promising debut Friday night when the visiting Canucks look to avoid their third straight loss with a seventh victory in eight meetings with the Oilers.
Plenty of eyes were on the 6-foot-7 Tryamkin on Wednesday when he contributed an assist in a 3-1 home loss to Colorado.
