Sujet: Is This Team Worse
It would be this year, my guess is you are talking about 3 years ago when this roster was together.

Turns out Tanev is a bigger loss to this organization than any of us expected. I really thought he would decline sharply because of his injury history. It never happened though. We must also remember the canucks D core was scoffed at during this era too, which is why it was tweaked the following two years with no forward progress. An attempt to redo the D core, while necessary, proved to harm the team more as none of the additions worked and it was a sacrifice to the forward core.

Collectively all this "moves that look good on paper but dont work out" methodology has destroyed the locker room mentality which ultimately is why a team that looks decent on paper is performing so terribly.
While the current team is much, much better on paper, the mindset of the players is no longer a team that thinks they can get better. They no longer push themselves and therefore this core will never get better.

Sujet: OEL to Florida
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>Hornqvist I don’t think can be traded this season since the Cats don’t have the cap space to activate him for a trade, but I could be wrong in that aspect. It’s a genuinely interesting trade, but Florida is definitely getting the short end of the stick. Florida needs cap space the most, and moving Hornqvist off of LTIR would not let this trade work, since the Cats would be over the cap, barring any other move being made to move out cap. That being said, Bob’s NMC is also a problem, and he certainly isn’t waiving for Vancouver, and I have my doubts that OEL waives for Florida. Florida really can’t afford to move Forsling. Value wise, if the Cats were to eat some of Bob’s salary, they could get some positive value for him, but the same isn’t exactly true for OEL. Assuming everyone were to waive their contract clauses, and the cap were to work out, Florida definitely declines, but I am pretty sure Vancouver takes that and runs for the hills.</div></div>

The only "Take it and run" piece here is Forsling. Otherwise it's a balance of bad contracts that might do more for the opposite team. This idea has appeared quite a few times, and although its fun to fantasize, we all know the NMC situation flattens it.
