@JSandlak19 Im honestly not sure why everyone is so desperate to dump our only tradable assets for this years draft. It’s a rebuild. We aren’t going to solve all our problems in one off season, Next years draft is much better, we’d be way better off selling Hronek next year.

What am I hearing on Sunday morning? Other than my shit farts I’m hearing that the Canucks are looking to add another pick in the top ten. Keep an eye on Hronek and Elias “Quiet” Quittersson. Högländeř may be in play as well.

@lemonlespa85012 @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice & that’s fair sedins were fitness freaks. But there’s lots of NHLers who weren’t & had plenty of success, so pin pointing prep as why his #’s dropped clearly has holes. It’s not like he’s coming into cap fat, hes clearly training in the summer. Kessel wouldn’t even do weigh ins.

@gunnerstaall @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice Well it seems you have a different opinion than people in the company. x.com/tysonfedortv/s…

Does Elias Pettersson deserve another ‘clean slate?’ #Canucks

@lemonlespa85012 @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice They tried to get guentzel the following summer & that failed, so they settled with Debrusk and sprong, then this last year they got Kane. lol. If they could try Chytil on his wing I could see that working if he can stay healthy. Stenberg would solve it but doubt we get him.

@lemonlespa85012 @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice To prove it’s a made up excuse. How did “summer prep” cause his #’s to dip midway through the 23-24 year? That’s after putting up career high production in the first 4 months. Meanwhile Kuz was dealt then he struggled. Seems to me it was more chemistry make up.

@lemonlespa85012 @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice Well id question what Henrik thinks his offensive career would’ve been without Danny.

@gunnerstaall @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice Seems Henrick believes that it is on him to improve, starting with summer preparation. I think you are leaning more towards him having quality players around him. Internally sounds like they want him to improve regardless of the line up and I don't think they believe 60pts is it

@AndehWahl @mattsekeres It’s because people don’t use logic when they think, they use emotion,

Strange take to me. Vancouver has 3 valuable assets to sell: Hronek, Debrusk, and Pettersson. Trying to sell him now at an all time low value would be as dumb as the last regimes were. He also has a NMC further making a trade more difficult (with less return). The right way to go about it is to let Manny (if he's the coach) work with him, surround him with fun players such as Hoglander who he goes well with, and make him gain some value before you even start thinking about a trade. Also, by many metrics, he wasn't even bad last season. Put too much emphasis on defence, but then again the team as a whole were defending the majority of the time all season long. Debrusk (mostly on Pettersson's wing) had the most High Danger Chances of all players in the NHL, yet he converted on just 3 of them in 5-on-5. What a coach needs to do with him is to get him to be more selfish and stop trying to mold him into a Crosby, a process Tocchet started that failed, and then have him lose weight in favor of agility and speed.

No. Had all this time to seek Sedins’ counsel & work through his problems. But just wanted to be left alone. Let another team try & reach him.

@JamberxX @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice Very few centers can put up 100 points without any actual line support. Only 15 centers last year put up 80+ points Only 3 did so without another FWD on that team putting up 70+ points Thompson (Tuch 66) Celebrini (smith 59) Zib (Panarin would have but was dealt)

@AndehWahl @sekeresandprice he's paid like a 100pt guy, he's with the elites, that what his Cap hit currently is sorry that big payday comes with expectations of 100pts and if not met, get shit on (every league, highest paid performs or gets shit on by everyone bc highest paid is supposed to be the best)

@lemonlespa85012 @AndehWahl @sekeresandprice His point production will really depend on what this team brings in for skill. If we go into next year as is. I’d expect a similar 60 point pace.

@AndehWahl @sekeresandprice What is your expectation for him from in terms of points this year?

@HotTakeHockey @lucas88a88 It’s not what you think he’s worth, it’s what the market dictates. Other teams will easily outbid that offer.

@lucas88a88 After it is public he requested a trade and has been disgruntled for years? Jake McCabe is on a good contract, too 4 dman and is a Keefe favourite + 1st. Not sure why you’d think the market suggests “way wayyy more” than that..

NJ acquires: Jake McCabe Matias Maccelli 2027 1st (COL) TOR acquires: Simon Nemec Dawson Mercer

@dustincrowther @Canuck_Faithful @iamhockey1 Oh know instead of DuPont, we land Privalov next year. The 6’4 power forward plays like lindros. Dang what ever will Canucks do.

@Canuck_Faithful @iamhockey1 Enjoy finishing last again next year. And picking 3rd again.

Hypothetical Trade idea: To Vancouver: First overall 2026 Morgan Rielly To Toronto: Third overall 2026 Elias Petterson (30% retained) Filip Hronek

@ThomasDrance @ngreenizan Feel likes there’s a deal to be made with ducks around mctavish going the other way.

@ngreenizan A lot, and maybe, but there’s real gaps in his game (both defensively and as a rush attacker). Feels a bit Jason Robertson coded as an absolute ceiling case, but there’s a lot of Boeser, Kakko types whose skating limits them from being standalone play or offensive drivers.

Random Canucks thought #2 for today: what would it cost to acquire Michkov? And would it be worth it? @ThomasDrance

@8394Canucks That team never won, this idea that, “preparation” is the key is just BS. How about they just build a skilled team. Don’t believe me, kessel has three cups.

For all the fans who lean into 2011 nostalgia, Petey wouldn’t have lasted a minute on that team. Hyper competitive. Very accountable. AV ran a tight ship. Leave it to a 3rd liner, who spent most of his time playing with guys like Manny & Kesler, to tell the raw truth. #Canucks

@Sportsnet650 @lottoline2024 @JamieDodd @RandipJanda So overblown. Higgins was extremely inconsistent what was his excuse? You think Ovi, Kessel has the same peak summer training. Anyone hoping in this garbage doesn’t know how NHLer train in the summer.

🗣️ If we are into year 4,5,6,7, and we're still talking about your preparation and practice habits it's time to move on. That's a character issue. 👉 Chris Higgins joined @jamiedodd & @randipjanda to talk about your best players having to be obsessed with getting better.

@canuckshotpuck @BluelineBardown He was an extremely inconsistent hockey player than that Gillis got suckered into overpaying and giving a NTC.

@BluelineBardown Didn’t Higgins have his own issues 6 or 7 years in his career until he got traded to Vancouver.

Chris Higgins on 650: You can’t teach a 6-7 year veteran ( EP40 ) to prepare better and put in the work. You trade those guys. It’s not something you can fix it’s a character issue

@EricReeseFN @FlyersNation Michkov for McTavish… who says no?

Here it is, the one-stop shop for the #Flyers 2025-2026 Exit Interviews. Included is the Russian to English translation of Matvei Michkov's press conference. #IgniteTheOrange #LetsGoFlyers 📰: Me @FlyersNation flyersnation.com/2025-2026-phil…

@LeafsUpdates21 Serious question for leafs fans. If stars put Harley on the market, do you not think they could do better than this? lol

TOR has cap and needs puck-moving D-Men. DAL is in a cap crunch w/ Robertson and Bourque as RFAs and Heiskanen, Lindell and Bichsel already on the left side. Harley, an Olympian, had a bit of a down year but I have no doubt he’ll be back as a high-end D. Do you make this deal?

@Canucks_Enjoyer @ThomasDrance @JHammer_87 @pups71 @kaitalkscanucks Drance is as stubborn and once he makes his opinion up he will cherry picks any stat to try and justify it. In 3 years if Willander is a stud he will come up with some excuse to justify why he was still right. And then he will laugh like the guy on Billy madison after.

Benson is great, he would have been a great Canuck. But Willander is also great. High character, high compete, loads of skill and speed. Check in on both players in 5 years and I think they’ll both be having great careers.

@ThomasDrance @JHammer_87 @pups71 @kaitalkscanucks How many points did morrissey put in his 21 year? I’ll help you out. By the same standards set willander is already a year advanced of Morrissey and you would have already written him off. Just proves how flawed your thinking is.

@gunnerstaall @JHammer_87 @pups71 @kaitalkscanucks Morrissey only played 1 games in his age 20 season, Hronek was far more productive on a per game basis so doesn’t match, Montour didn’t play NHL hockey til his age 22 szn, Dunn was age 21 his first szn.

@ThomasDrance @JHammer_87 @pups71 @kaitalkscanucks Hronek, montour, morrissey and Dunn are almost the exact same height, age and production comps to Willander this year.

@gunnerstaall @JHammer_87 @pups71 @kaitalkscanucks Only Josi rly shows up as a age, height, production comp for Willander among that group, and his impact as a 20 year old was significantly better (or closer to neutral, in any event). There’s a path still available, but most guys with Willander’s profile top out as not Josi.
