Vancouver Canucks fans are eagerly waiting for the trade deadline, and hoping that general manager Jim Benning sees the light and triggers a full rebuild.
Vancouver just came off their five-day break. During that break, all the teams whom they are fighting for a playoff spot won multiple games. Their playoff odds, which were slim to begin with, have now fallen to less than one-percent. That makes two years in a row they have entered a trade deadline well out of the playoff picture.
Clearly, it’s time to sell off the veterans and build for the future.
