"The winning in the Canucks' organization begins at the top with their GM, and percolates through to the coaches, the players, and the fans." - Well said Mr.Oilers

The Oilers are about to miss the playoffs for the 6th year in a row. I'm not sure what's going on with Tambellini, but it seems like he's counting on a top 1 or 2 pick year after year and not being smart about the other things. The Oilers don't have the supporting cast that they should by now.

Along with our world class players, the Canucks have patiently cultivated draft picks - Jannik Hansen; 9th round. Mason Raymond; 2nd round. Burrows; undrafted F/A signing. Kevin Bieksa; 5th round. Alex Edler; 3rd round. Along with some smart trades and free agent signings. All this adds up to an elite team year after year. Maybe the Canuck organization isn't so bad after all.
