@ChesterM222 Buium wasn't even a top 10 pick. He got one year of hype post-draft but he hasn't shown what comparables have.

If the Canucks can’t develop Buium (whose pre-NHL profile is basically as good as it gets, it was better than Quinn) into at least a second pair dman - then we’ll be tanking for 5-10 years anyways so who cares about the downside risk on an 8 year deal

@punditsguide Committed to the em dash

Sask NDP Leader Carla Beck declines Avi Lewis’ meeting request, in letter below.

@Sapsterr_ It's zero in terms of anything noticeable. His play style now is impossible to work with

@burningstew He displayed great chemistry with Lucas Raymond and Filip Forsberg in limited minutes at the Olympics. I'm not saying the list is long, but it's not "0" as you're trying to argue.

Evander Kane and Elias Pettersson have shown no chemistry all season together, yet they continue to trot Kane (a pending UFA who will need to make a team via PTO next season) out there. "We've tried nothing and we're out of ideas!" The Right Winger isn't the problem, Adam! x.com/Adamkblat/stat…

@Sapsterr_ There have been a handful of acceptable shifts, but nothing special between them. Petey has had no chemistry with other players, whether in NHL or Olympic or 4 Nations games, since January 2024.

@burningstew Hoglander and Pettersson have shown really good chemistry together historically, they just haven't been played together enough. Hughes and Pettersson also did very well together in transition.

@Sapsterr_ Neither of those players have any special chemistry with Petey. No one has chemistry with this version of Petey. Not even Hughes, who can work with anyone.

@burningstew Nils Hoglander, Linus Karlsson, literally anyone who can actually hold onto pucks (even Hoglander-Petey-Garland were offensively dominant in limited minutes last season). Playing with guys who can't hold onto pucks and make controlled passes will not mesh well with Pettersson

@IjeksterFAD @Sapsterr_ I think your take is likely right.

@Sapsterr_ I think he’s just a really odd guy that can’t get along with anyone. I also think he’s happier outside of the rink than in the rink.

If you don't think he's a culture setter or leader, then by proxy that means he'll just integrate into whatever culture he is in. Pettersson should be traded eventually because of the team's timeline (he'll likely be 32 when the team starts turning things around) unless the cap raises so much that his contract provides surplus value. It just shouldn't happen now, as you're selling him at his lowest value.

@Sportsnet650 @JamieDodd @ThomasDrance get off this subject though boys. there's no more juice to squeeze here. they're not gonna give you some perfect statement that encapsulates everything. easy to criticize here but fruitless

🗣️ Maybe I'm not smart enough to interpret the genius messaging that the Canucks have been using... but I see moving goalposts and very muddy water in terms of... what the club thinks they're doing here. 👉 @jamiedodd & @thomasdrance react to the Canucks' letter.

@5149jamesli This is activism, not journalism. The people who work there can't do anything about it. Just a dweeb bothering people for views.

I know this video is meant to be a joke, but unironically this is how you are actually supposed to do journalism — by being a public watchdog against elites and corporations. But all too often now, journalism is just parroting PR handed to them by their corporate masters.

@TheStanchion Fanbase hates Quinn Hughes. Only a non-fan could suggest he's gonna get a jersey retirement. We didn't even love him that much before the drama.

Bure opens up the argument for top level skill overcoming other shortcomings for a jersey retirement but I’d argue: - no deep playoff run for Hughes - was captain of generational locker room collapse - didn’t have an intense connection to fan base

@gjoseph89 @patersonjeff All the scorers like who? pDG and suter?

@patersonjeff why doesn't he play him with skilled players. When they had Miller, he had all the scorers while Petey had the scraps. Give him a chance to play with McKenna or Stenberg first

I asked Adam Foote this morning about his patience with the Kane-Pettersson-DeBrusk line

@RJHenderson7 @DhaliwalSports Indian Joe Gatto

Two years ago today @DhaliwalSports provided his best look. Funny this is how most #Canucks fans look after watching this team over the last couple of years.

@JRLV_Inc @garymasonglobe Yeah that would really help me at work - I need someone with the same name as me. Lol

@garymasonglobe Gave him a franchise player/lifetime deal Traded away the guy he didn’t get along with Loaded the team with Swedes for him. Even drafted a guy with the same name. Still can’t find himself?

Maybe he needs to go down to the A for a few games to find himself. Couldn’t hurt

@horn_zoot @nucks0 YES DUDE!! Something happened there. A light switched after that. I thought it at the time and ever since. His tendinitis didn't just spawn then. Something happened.

@nucks0 Allstar game in Toronto. Tocchet and Miller know what they did to him, McDavid stopped trying to bully him after that too. They did some weird hazing thing to him or threatened him.

EP40’s career might be the most disappointing tale I have ever witnessed in my life. A true superstar at his apex, one of the top players in his position in the world. Turned into a mediocre, unremarkable, shell of himself. Lost all confidence, agility, and talent Unbelievable

@bdilo17 @strrawberrae_ can ya spill more juicy insider gossip mate

@strrawberrae_ Staff told management not to re-sign him because his lumbar is severely messed up and he doesn’t believe in strength based rehab. Management signed him anyways, 4 games in his back gave out. Dinosaur in charge doesn’t want to publicly admit to it.

everyone’s talking abt mysie and kane not being there but i have an important question did derek forbort die or smth

@arpan_on_BC Hardly accurate account of history here lol

@LaheyHNIC haha this got me man i drooped my head so hard

General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the #Canucks have acquired center Nick Schmaltz from the Utah Mammoth in exchange for a Tyler Myers, and a 1st round pick in the 2026 Draft. Details | vancanucks.co/4kDCHd0

@ThOne_AndOnly @noahstrang_ hey i was a hughes hater post-trade, just has nothing to do with politics or the olympics for me

@burningstew @noahstrang_ Dude ran a locker room of negativity dude, wtf are you even saying? Couldn’t captain if his life depended on it. Hes one the best Dmen ever, but he’s not captain material. When you can’t bring ur team together, that’s your whole fucking job dude.

#Canucks fans: Have your feelings on Quinn Hughes and his departure from the team changed over the past few days?

@Gaberrs23 @oliveegger Yeah in a way I thought he was honouring the women's team by bringing them into the conversation, albeit rather clumsily with the joke

@oliveegger Exactly, when I first heard it I just thought he meant “now come on guys it’s not about all you we have to bring the girls too”. Like what’s so wrong with that 😂people are telling people to go to hell and even insulting Johnny Hockey over this. Wild world we live in

I’m not mad at the Trump women’s hockey joke bc in the same conversation he made another minimizing type of joke about how the goalie of the men’s team was meh.
