Why the Canucks are Losing

As many people have noticed, the Canucks are on the verge of being eliminated from the playoffs this year. I am writing this not to offend the Canucks, but to give people a glimpse of hope in the future for the team that matters. As the season draws to an end, the Canucks are currently sitting in ninth place, and with only two games left, they are ready to throw in the towel. Currently looking into the future and imagining a win against both Edmonton and Calgary is highly unlikely. Also, Nashville only one point, however two easy games ahead, may sneak in without being harmed.
Now, when I say that there are reasons for the depressing season, some people would agree, and others would say that it was just a tough year. The main reason; Chedders. Naslund has had a very depressing year being moved throughout the lines in a meager attempt to increase his production. However, as we all know, the Canucks did not play their cards right and pick up the valuables in the market when they had the chance. There are two people who could have made a difference in the time of distress. Hossa and Forsberg.
Lets start with Hossa. Totaling 64 points, and leading Naslund by 9 makes a difference. When Naslund has been shifted through all the lines and begins to produce garbage goals over the "El Capitano" snipes, there is a problem. Hossa continues to play make and produce, yet the Canucks passed right by him as like shadow on a wall. The verdict: They could have got rid of Naslund for a points man.
Now we shall talk about Forsberg. Even though he didn't play for the majority of the season, he still has racked up a total of 11 points in 8 games. Not too shabby for a grinder! Ever since Bertuzzi left, the Canucks have needed someone with a chip on their shoulder and a tack in their skate. The verdict: They could have got rid of Naslund for a grinder.
What do the Canucks do next year? Trade Naslund for the best offer they can find, because he fell in a hole and cant get out.
