Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet to occasionally double its offering.

Speaking of doubling our offering, that’s what we’re doing today. Typically, you come into a WDYTT column and expect to be asked a singular question. On this rare occasion, we’re giving you a second serving, because today’s question just has to be a two-parter.

The topic of ‘rebuilding’ is really having a moment in Vancouver Canucks circles these past couple of weeks. Everyone is talking about it, and that everyone includes Patrik Allvin, who felt the need to throw a little cold water on the idea during his Saturday appearance on After Hours.

But even that cold water seems to be little more than fuel for the fire. Even after a three-point weekend, the Canucks still have the second-worst record in the Pacific Division and are out of a playoff spot. The longer that goes on, and the closer we get to the point at which Quinn Hughes makes a decision on his future, the hotter the topic of a rebuild will become.

Then again, plenty of teams reach a point at which they should perform some sort of rebuild, but don’t actually do it. Plenty of teams flounder in the mushy middle, though this is a fate that all wish to avoid.

That’s why we feel the need for a two-part question today. Asking if you think the Canucks should do a rebuild is one thing. Asking you if you think they actually will is another. And we think asking both at the same time should lead to some interesting results.

This week, we’re asking:

Let it be known in the comment section.

Last week, we asked:

You answered below!

Chytil obviously, and after that, the injury to PK expert Derek Forbort has made the biggest impact. Going back to that Washington game, it was clear from the first shift that Wilson was hunting, and it is sad to see a guy have no awareness of his surroundings and go out like that. It was a major penalty to me, every bit as bad as Aaron Rome dummying that guy, and I’m not impressed that it wasn’t called by the Bettman & Daly Circus.

Höglander is the guy they are missing most. Under this system, he will flourish.

I never expected Chytil to survive, so I am discounting his loss. I wish him well on the health side. Hope he quits hockey for the good of his future.

It’s not the injuries…it’s the brutal travel…and the back to backs…and daylight saving time…and the terrible ice…and the mean refs….and the…

The imaginary injury to Pettersson after he got his big contract.

Chytil’s injury has blown a huge hole in the lineup, mainly because of the lack of organizational depth at centre. Wingers can sometimes move up the line up and survive in the short term, but centers just can’t at the NHL level. We can not blame Reichel, Sasson, or Blueger for this situation.

Tough question. It’s a little like being asked which finger is the worst to break then breaking all of them.

The Höglander injury immediately hurt the top-six and stifled the ability to accrue cap space. That accrued cap space could have proved useful.

Chytil did look like he could pass as a 2C. Him going out so early really left the team in a bind. He may never play again and with another year left on his contract it’s likely the Canucks have to live in LTIR next season.

None of the other injuries are a huge issue onto themselves. Collectively, it is just impossible to gauge where this team is really at.

With rumours surrounding Zacha, Kadri, and Wennberg it is pretty obvious that the loss of Chytil created the biggest concern. Not that he was going to be a permanent 2C, but his play was certainly very adequate. Now they are incredibly weak down the middle with no solution in the immediate offing. Who knows how long he’ll be in concussion protocol. After watching Wilson just miss Garland, I knew Chytil was next. They should have done all possible to avoid having him on the ice with that notorious headhunter. They didn’t, and paid a big price. One they can’t fix.

Hoggy. Really hoped for a bounceback from him after that down year, too bad he’s injured ‘til two months into the season. Also Chytil, we knew it was only a matter of time before he went down, but six games in with an already depleted roster is tough. He can be a very good 2C, the only problem is his concussion history. Every hit could be his last, and with every concussion the next will have an even more debilitating effect on the player. You don’t know if he’ll call it a career with two concussions already two seasons in a row in 21 games with the Nucks.

The penalty kill could have afforded the loss of Pius Suter. It could have afforded the absence of Derek Forbort. It could have afforded the loss of Teddy Blueger.

But all three, effectively at the same time? The Canucks are down three of their best four penalty killers, and, gosh, is it ever showing.
