What’s it like when an NHL player gets sent down? From living in a hotel and eating out “every night,” to the 10x salary cut and the “weird dynamic” of competing with your teammates for a call-up, 11 players open up about the human experience: theathletic.com/4106315/2023/1…

After running a NHL team in Florida, @thatcamlawrence & I led a deep tech venture fund in Brooklyn as CEO & GC where we did a lot of work optimizing cutting edge AI models. Talked here w @ethan_sears about how some of that thinking could help NHL teams leverage AI tools 🏒💻

1/ If the Canucks are serious about improving process and modernizing decision-making under the next regime, they should be exploring ways to bring Cam Lawrence into the fold.

We will see where this goes over the next day or so, but hearing momentum is moving in Ryan Johnson’s direction for Vancouver’s head of hockey operations. Nothing is done until it’s done, but that’s the latest

@shaynagoldman_ @IcemanAthletic Canucks Stanley Cup Checklist 🏆📝 with @ThomasDrance Can the Canucks accept that they have 'nothing?' nytimes.com/athletic/72639…

Four Memorial Cup appearances. Two championships. More than 100 players coached to the NHL. And a presence in BC hockey that can never be replaced. Ernie “Punch” McLean was one of a kind — a legend of the game who gave everything to this province and to the players lucky enough to call him coach. Rest easy, Punch. Thank you for the memories, the lessons, and the legacy you leave behind. BC hockey will never forget you. 💙

It's down to just two in the Canucks GM search. Join the stream and chat with us over on YouTube ➡️ youtube.com/live/_N9C3JLZR…

The Canucks have started telling candidates that they are no longer in the running for the GM job. Sounds like it is down to Ryan Johnson and Evan Gold.

On the final of 2 draft lottery draws, Vancouver owned five of the 22 balls remaining in the draft lottery machine. And on both occasions their numbers just didn’t come up. #Canucks reckon with lottery misfortune as Jim Rutherford says he will step down: nytimes.com/athletic/72567…

If Vancouver didn’t know that they weren’t going to be able to rely on luck to get this franchise back on track, they surely do now. #Canucks reckon with lottery misfortune as Jim Rutherford says he will step down after NHL Draft. With @harmandayal2: nytimes.com/athletic/72567…

Jim Rutherford says that he will transition to an advisor role with the #Canucks after the draft

Who should the Vancouver #Canucks take at No. 3 in 2026 NHL Draft? Over at @TheAthleticNHL I polled 3 NHL amateur scouts to get their takes on the players at the apex of the 2026 draft class, and what Vancouver will be looking when they get on the clock: nytimes.com/athletic/72538…

Rutherford say the #Canucks are down to 5 final candidates for the GM job

I don't think the #Canucks are ready for the backlash they'll face in this market if Pierre Dorion is hired as GM. That would legitimately be the last straw for a lot of fans with this team

Yes, Pierre Dorion as the next #Canucks GM is a “strong possibility” as league sources have told @TheAthleticNHL. I’m worried about it. More on that, the draft lottery, Markus Naslund and Ryan Johnson in my latest notebook: nytimes.com/athletic/72542…
