Nashville has a pretty decent prospect pool tho. L'Heureux, Svechkov, Kemell, Wood, Surin, Molendyk, Chistyakov, Ufko Askarov if he sticks around. Some decent prospects in there that keep them really competitive for a while if they hit.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I agree. Even if some of the Canucks' players are aging, such as Myers and Miller is in his peak and will likely start to fall off in a couple of seasons, we've got great kids in the farm system, and up and comers like Hoglander already full time on the main team ready to receive the torch when the veterans fade, and the veterans are such team players I could see an aging JT still getting it done as a depth player on the 4th line 4 or 5 years from now as a skilled veteran stabilizer who can still chip in, while a guy like Lekerimakki or Hoglander moves up to JT's old spot.

The team I want to win one the most is the Canucks and the team most likely to win their first is the Predators

Minnesota is one promising team. Faber will have some trophy’s in his case by the time his career is over for sure.

[@IanSane]

As a Canucks fan its been tough seeing teams like LA, St. Louis and Washington win the Cup. There was more company in the franchises that have not won it. Now it's pretty much down to us and our expansion brothers in Buffalo. Well we're currently more likely than them to finally do it at least. The only team besides those two in this list that were established before I was born was Utah and they've moved twice so it isn't like the current fans have been waiting all these years. So who would I pick besides my team to do it? San Jose. They were so good for so long and have dealt with tons of heartbreak that I would feel good seeing them pull it off. The one I would least like to see would be Seattle because they're brand new and are close enough to Vancouver that likely a bunch of bandwagoners would jump ship to them. Lots of people in Northwest Washington are or were Canucks fans before the Kraken came around. So if they moved to a new team that got it done while those of us back in BC were still waiting, that would suck.

[@malcolmapplet4313]

Yeah I think it makes a difference with the metric of how many games played overall. Without winning vs baby teams like Utah. I always liked Buffalo but nobody wants to play there now.

[@Statsy10]

I know Toronto technically has won a bunch of cups... but not a single one after the 1967 expansion. They actually have the longest drought and haven't even been making it to the finals like most of these other teams.

The Prospect Depth Is still looking amazing even after the trade for Savoie who was definitely the odd man out. they have more then enough assets to grab a Good top 6 forward at the deadline need be if they don’t decide to Now, but I think McLeod will be a very good add for the roster as well as the other quicker, Younger, and Grittier bottom 6 players they’ve grabbed.

About the Wild logo.. It took me longer to go from "ripoff of the Guelph Storm" to sweeping picturesque wilderness landscape than it did to go from wilderness to bear silhouette.

The logo is genuinely fantastic, but the logo only exists because of the incredibly stupid, second rate team name. The Wild sounds like an arena football league or WNBA team name.

[@ShinyMew76]

You know, excluding Seattle, most if not all of these teams have been close at least once to a Stanley Cup. Well, unless you are Buffalo or Arizona/Utah. However, for fans of these teams without a Cup, they will get there one day. Look how long it took the Blues. Even Arizona/Utah and Buffalo will get there eventually. Especially with all of the young talent coming into the league. Personally I hope the next team to get their first is the Jets, and I do think they have quite good chances of it happening as well. I think Vancouver is probably the closest, Jets slightly behind, but realistically any of the teams who haven’t won a Cup have a chance to do so within the next 10/15 years if they play their cards right. The only Cup one of my three teams (NYR, COL, WPG) have won in my lifetime was the Avs in 2022. I haven’t experienced a Rangers or Jets Cup. They will come eventually. Have faith in your teams and never lose hope, even at the lowest points.
