Connor McDavid might NEVER win a Cup in Edmonton.
As crazy as it sounds ... should the Oilers consider trading him to the Sharks if things go south next year? 😳

Anthony Bradford is the 🐐 retweetledi

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.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT. @Jadarian15
With the 32nd pick in the Draft, we've selected RB Jadarian Price.

@FlamesNation Edmonton ruined tanking for everyone by picking first overall a million times

@DhaliwalSports if we draft for position over best available with a top 3 pick, we deserve all the failure and hardship in the world

**MEGAPOST**
The Canucks drafting and trading for a great group of players and developing none of them into leaders except the guy they traded first (Horvat) is hilarious.
EP40 - Introvert, acknowledges he isn't vocal, not a leader
JT Miller - Prickly, had multiple issues with different players in Vancouver, leads NYR to a bottom 5 pick, not a leader
Quinn Hughes - Articulate, but not a leader in the community or and didn't do enough in the locker room, not a leader.
Filip Hronek - The most prickly with media, vocal, but he was already a finished product more or less in Detroit
Thatcher Demko - Prickly with Fans and Media at times, wants to be here, according to Kevin Woodley, not a leader
Brock Boeser - Most in touch with the fanbase right now, elevates his game in late season + playoff games more than anyone else currently on the team, but his play disappears for long stretches and becomes invisible, not a leader
Bo Horvat - Good with the media, wasn't the most physically involved in scrums but was almost always in touch with the Canucks fanbase, and elevated himself in the clutch. The last captain to play with Daniel and Henrik Sedin.
It's almost like in order to create new leaders, you need to have an organization full of great leaders to show the young guys the ropes!
Canucks leadership at ownership and management have done the following since the Sedins left:
- Let Edler & Tanev go in b2b offseasons (players who became leaders under the Sedins)
- Laid off 25% of business staff in July 2020, and went from 200 to 45 full time business staff by November 2020
- Reduced Employee Wages 3 times in 3 months to the point where most employees were only being paid 65% of their initial salary and had to utilize the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy
- Let important pieces walk and replaced them with budget pieces (Tanev and Toffoli leaving for $8.75M combined and replacing them with Virtanen, Holtby, Poolman, all of whom were bought out or put on LTIR)
- Fired Green and Benning (needed at the time) and replaced them with Boudreau and Jim Rutherford without conducting a formal search, and didn't even tell JR about Boudreau's contract.
- Let JR run a half assed GM search where he hired his Pittsburgh buddy
- Treated Boudreau like garbage, publicly, fired him
- Told Horvat they were going to re-sign him, pivoted to Miller, and then traded Horvat, even though Miller was the problem at that point in time
- Extended Elias Pettersson against the coach's wishes, traded away his best linemate, had him play through knee tendonitis, lied about the injury, and then told Miller and Hughes to toughen him up (I think the contract at the time was fine, even if his production since has been abhorrent), furthering locker room dissension.
- Failed to retain Rick Tocchet, who despite being disliked by Canucks fans was valuable enough to Rutherford to treat Boudreau like dirt
- Hired Adam Foote to try and keep Hughes, and is clearly out of his element, but are (as of now) unwilling to move off of that mistake
- Are going to hire another rookie GM without doing a full on search, because JR wants to keep a lot of control
That doesn't even include all of the staff that have arrived and left rather quickly, some suddenly (Derek Clancey, Rachel Dorrie/Kryshak), the horrible medical staff, having 4 head coaches, 12 assistant coaches, their inability to develop highly skilled prospects, and lack of practice facilities
All of that, and they've increased season ticket prices by ~ 44% since 2022-23.
Leadership starts at the top with Ownership.
Bad ownership has hired bad presidents in both the business and hockey ops departments, and they hire puppet underlings, treat their subordinates like garbage, use them as fall guys, and that creates apathy and anxiety in employees, which trickles down into the workplace, locker room, and the fanbase as a whole.
Francesco Aquilini,
Sell. The. Team.

@canucksplace The most valuable asset we got in the Hughes trade was finishing (hopefully) in 32nd place and locking in a top 3 pick
English

You have to be happy with the Quinn Hughes trade value-wise considering lack of leverage. Marco Rossi is 24, coming off of 60 points, and has 15 points in 20 games on last-place Vancouver - all without being the crown jewel of the deal (Zeev Buium).
Add Öhgren + 1st. #Canucks

ESPN Sources: Offensive Player of the Year and Super-Bowl champion Jaxon Smith-Njigba reached agreement with the Seattle Seahawks on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension that now makes him the highest-paid WR in NFL history.
The deal averages $42.15 million per year, and includes over $120 million guaranteed, both setting records for any wide receiver.
The deal was confirmed by @WINSportsGroup.

@RJHenderson7 @QuinnTaylor06 Vancouvers Stanley cup drought hits 111 years this spring (1915 cup). Is that a lucky number to win the lottery?

Just so much pain in a one minute summary of the #Canucks at the draft lottery. s/o @QuinnTaylor06 for the edit.

@BatchHockey @riotsurvivor The nhl is just not a serious league
English

The #Canucks will no longer have the 32nd pick in the draft as a result of this decision.
Chris Johnston@reporterchris
The NHL has modified the penalty against the Ottawa Senators for the invalidated Evgenii Dadonov trade: The #sens will now pick 32nd in the upcoming draft, regardless of where they finish, rather than forfeiting their 2026 first-round pick entirely
English

@TheFourthPeriod Canucks were punished for signing Luongo to a legal contract. AND HE WASNT EVEN ON THE CANUCKS WHEN HE RETIRED. Shea Weber? With a much more loopholey contract? Nashville didn’t pay a DIME. Montreal who traded for him? Not a DIME.
English

The NHL has announced a change in the #GoSensGo penalty for the Dadonov/Vegas trade. Instead of forfeiting of their 2026 first round pick, they will instead pick 32nd overall. They cannot trade the pick and will also pay a fine of $1M CDN.

Seahawks losses so far this offseason:
🏈Kenneth Walker
🏈Tariq Woolen
🏈Boye Mafe
🏈Coby Bryant
Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter
Former Seahawks Pro-Bowl CB Riq Woolen reached agreement today on a one-year deal worth up to $15 million with the Philadelphia Eagles, per me and Jeremy Fowler. Agent Jason Chayut confirmed the deal.
