@centraljunior @WatchMyReview Can’t decide whether to laugh or cry

@WatchMyReview @MHeise10 Sounds perfect for POHO for TML 😉

Jim is trying to spin this as all American players want out of Canada as a big excuse. Matthew Tkachuk already said he would have signed 6-8 years in Calgary but Treliving offered him 3 years.

Once again, the @NCAA misses the mark. A five-year eligibility clock is reasonable, but this proposal overlooks two predictable consequences. First, athletes and their advisors will adjust high school graduation timing so the eligibility clock starts later, pushing graduation closer to age 19. Second, this creates a disincentive for academically advanced student-athletes who currently graduate at 17 and begin college coursework early while continuing their athletic development. Policies should encourage academic acceleration, not discourage it. There also does not appear to be any grandfather clauses. By the way, ncaa hockey players are among the highest graduation rates and academic success.

@DomSramaty If Quinn was in the conference finals and cup finals I doubt this is even a story/consideration

So Quinn just wanted to go back to the USA. Didn't matter if the Canucks were good or not. Crazy.

@DomSramaty @RJHenderson7 Petey for KK +

I agree with @RJHenderson7. This team can’t move on to the next chapter as long as 40 is still on the roster. His contract is too much of a distraction now that he isn’t the game-breaker he was signed to be. Both parties would benefit from a split.

@justBlakePrice lol nothing to do with nationality and everything to do with the ECHL level dysfunction this organization is operated with

Rutherford brings up Hughes and Tkachuk as examples of US players wanting to go home regardless of team.. Why would Canadian teams draft an American player if this true? Just too big a risk

It’s Christmas Day 🤩 #LordStanley #NHLplayoffs

@Ihatewinter2026 Get me in front of Pelley for the GM job lol my NHL26 GM modes speak for themselves #armchairGM

@MHeise10 Okay make the call!

Trade Package from Los Angeles Kings: 1. Quinton Byfield RW 2. Brandt Clark D 3. 1st Round pick in 2026 4. 1st Round pick in 2027 5. 1st round pick in 2028.

@DTSB_98 I’ve said this for years, our perception of Reilly is severely impacted by the misuse of him and poor roster construction. As a 3D/2nd pair, he’s fine even at that number. Problem is he’s our “best” Dman and therefore he sucks in comparing him to that 1D expectation

I get wanting to move him, but TOR has $22M in cap space and not enough players. Unless that flips, I don’t see the point. If you want him gone, scale back his role, pump his value and trade him like they did Phaneuf Had to take back salary, but got a 2nd & an okay prospect

@Ihatewinter2026 Gets you a young NHL C to learn from JT, gets you a younger D Man, gets you a potential Heineman version on RW and gets you either 2 D in this years draft or if lucky Malhotra and 1D

@MHeise10 Very interesting I like it!

@Ihatewinter2026 lol don’t get me wrong would love that return but 2 years of questionable performance and 2 years left on a high $ ain’t getting you all that. I’ve got him pegged Seattle personally (Wright, Nyman, Evans and their 1st this year)

@MHeise10 Damn! 🥲

@_JordanDecker He needs to go to a small market focused on building a core audience/relevance on a national level or that just needs a superstar Carolina, Seattle, Kings, Minnesota, Detroit & Columbus all make sense to me Minny cap and assets wise probably doesn’t make sense tho

Pass

@EricEngels Perfect symbolism of how poor NHL scheduling is

I’m sure no one will complain about any of this

@_JordanDecker lol actively calling them out even as a leafs fan

The delusion that unites them all

@joshbeleaf I’m more of a fan of getting Evans and Nyman in addition to Wright, but in principle like this trade. Especially the 1st rounder this year

Go train post grand opening event trade proposal: To Tor: Vince Dunn, Shane Wright, 2026 1st, 2027 1st To Sea: William Nylander, Brandon Carlo

@Ihatewinter2026 I actually think Chicago is a better spot for Willy if we do trade him

If I am trading with Chicago I want Bedard back in return ++. And knowing Chicago they won't do it. Package would be: 1. Frank Nazar C 2. Sam Rinzel D 3. 1st round pick in 2026 4th Overall 4. 1st round pick in 2027 5. Adam Gajan G or 1st round pick in 2028 or a 2nd.

@hatricklaine28 San Jose and Utah both say no. San Jose needs D and size up front Utah would need to deal a roster C back + that would shrink the return Love the idea, think the destinations are off

TOR: Iginla, Desnoyers, Simashev, 27' 1st UTA: Auston Matthews Then, SJS: William Nylander TOR: Igor Chernyshov, Quentin Musty, Erik Pohlkampf, 9th overall, 24th overall Gives TOR: - T5 pipeline in NHL (added to T2 picks in '27, '28) - 4 1st's in next two drafts

@KawaVulcanRider @JacobDoodle lol greasy logjam on D yet you have Rossi, Petey, Chytil to build around 😂

@MHeise10 @JacobDoodle Horrible take. If there’s a middle 6 C or a 1D on the board you take the 1D every time. If there’s a log jam at D in 3 years, you use the capital to trade for what you need at that point

#Canucks Fans! You are on the clock with the third overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft. (Mckenna/Stenberg gone) The Vancouver Canucks select....
