Daniel Sedin or Henrik Sedin

That was very negatively received.

And I think the organization has learned their lesson.

And I get it.

It's always dangerous when you're talking about the Canucks having learned their lesson.

But at least in this – maybe not in practice.

Maybe not in the actual practice and follow-through of a rebuild.

But at least in the messaging in this moment here and now,

I think the organization has understood that fans do not want to hear any equivocating about the fact that they are in a rebuild.

It's very, very hard to deny that you're rebuilding when you were just the 32nd place team in the league and you don't have any elite players on your roster.

Very, very hard.

To deny that fact.

And I think the organization has largely given up trying to deny that reality.

So I'd be pretty surprised here if we hear anything from ownership or anything, certainly from the Sedins or Ryan Johnson, that tries to fudge around the idea of a rebuild.

That's the identity of where this organization is going right now, for better or for worse.

And to a pretty significant degree, or at least unprecedented in the Canucks' recent history, they have leant into that, leaned into that.

Again, post the little blip there in the four-game win streak where they tried to soft launch the hybrid retool idea.

Since then, and you look what they did at the trade deadline, right?

They've been pretty much committed to that messaging.

Now, I think the bigger question is not do we get follow-through on that messaging in the here and now today, because I expect that we will.

The bigger question is how committed are they to that?
