My question was: how much is ownership involved in hockey decisions, because it’s been reported they are against a rebuild but I think it’s painfully obvious to a lot of us sitting here that the #Canucks needs a rebuild because we haven’t been successful in 10 years

Adam Wylde from SDPN reported on the Steve Dangle Podcast that he was told by "multiple sources" that Evan Gold was OFFERED the GM position, but was lowballed "Below the $1M, $750K" range. He also stated that The Canucks "do not have the same R&D, analytics, and computing systems for prospects and current players as most of the league" Later on he mentioned how the future buyout of Paolo Aquilini may have affected this. If this is even REMOTELY close to true, then holy crap man. What a joke.

NEW: A federal bill would ban private equity firms from investing in youth sports, specifically targeting "vulture practices" like consolidation, bundling and stay-to-play. In announcing the bill, lawmakers repeatedly called out Black Bear Sports Group. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Based on Central Scouting if you want to get drafted to the NHL the path is clear.

@noahstrang_ Cc: @ThomasDrance who was bang on from the begining

Zach Benson would be the most promising player in the entire #Canucks organization Probably not far off best player either

I spoke with one of the longest tenured Vancouver sports media members last night for a long time. I got the whole Garret story. He made a joke about Francesco on the team plane, nothing major, but a bit of a burn. It got back to Francesco and he decided to have Garret removed.

@Adamkblat Jugnauth absolute steal at 4, disappointed we couldn’t get McMillan

The Vancouver Giants snagged Eli Vickers and Brayden Jugnauth while also adding two future second round picks and a future first round pick. Masterclass start to the 2026 WHL Prospects Draft for the Giants.

@TheWHL @WHLGiants Steal at 4

With the fourth-overall pick in the 2026 #WHLDraft, the Vancouver Giants selects Brayden Jugnauth! @WHLGiants

@MikeHalford604 “Transparency” but just trust us on the list

"and now bill daly will read out a list you can all very clearly see"

Why did I even let myself get excited about the draw #Canucks

Do your job fans

A message from the Garretts 💙

At the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, I was sitting at a table of @Sportsnet people. "Cheech" overheard me say I was rooming with a friend at his hotel. He digs in his pocket, grabs his room key, & handed it to me. He said "I live in Surrey. You take my room. Enjoy." RIP John! 🙏

STATEMENT FROM VANCOUVER MAYOR KEN SIM: The Whitecaps have been Vancouver’s club since 1974. Many things have changed throughout the years: the players, the logos, the kits, and the stadiums, just to name a few. The one thing that has never changed is Vancouver’s love of this team. The Whitecaps are one of the top teams in the MLS, they were the runners up in last year’s championship, and they sit in the top ten of league attendance at an average of 24,000+ per game. While we understand that professional sports is a complex business, it would be a mistake for any team to leave a market with such a longstanding history and ready-made fanbase. The City of Vancouver has done its part to create a path forward for the team’s future here by offering prime space at Hastings Park for the Whitecaps to construct a new stadium and entertainment district. Now, we face the difficult part. BC Place is owned and operated by the Provincial Government. In fact, it’s the only stadium owned and operated by a government found anywhere in the MLS. In order for the team to stay in Vancouver, the Whitecaps and Province must sign a bridge deal that will allow BC Place to become viable in the near term while a new stadium can be designed and built. That's why today, we are calling on the team’s ownership to publicly and clearly articulate what they need to stay here in Vancouver, and we are calling on the Provincial Government to come to the table and make that a reality. To all Vancouver Whitecaps fans, to the @Southsiders, and to all of the supporter groups, we need you to keep the fight going. We need you to stay strong, and we need you to stay loud. Losing the Whitecaps is not an option. #SAVETHECAPS

I’m hearing rumors of a group out of Vancouver that is positioning to purchase the Vancouver Whitecaps, along with a stadium district plan… #Savethecaps 🤞

From John Garrett’s final #Canucks broadcast in 2023. Classy as can be. #RIPCeech

I knew John Garrett for more than 40 years…worked alongside him at Hockey Night in Canada and Sportsnet for half that time. John was everything you could ask for in a friend, a co-worker and a teammate. He did his job with the right level of professionalism… with gravitas and humour. He loved the Canucks, the Blue Jays and being the Grandfather. Most of all, he loved his wife Sharon He was the best of us.

Read it (if you can) and weep

@_TalkingHockey_ Please desist in using our stats and putting your logo on them. Thank you.

So, Patrik Allvin was “GM” in name only, Jim Rutherford drove the bus on nearly any consequential transaction, and he ran over Allvin today on the way out … then backed over him again. Just to be sure. I’d say it always ends bloody in Vancouver. But that’s devoid of leadership.

Jim Rutherford, President, Hockey Operations, announced today that Patrik Allvin has been relieved of his duties as General Manager.
