@walsha Wasn’t T.L. The PA leadership himself? No deal is a deal until it is ratified by the Players… so what you’re upset with is that he did his job negotiating? If it was a bad deal for the players, why did they ratify? And how could that result in one person being held responsible?

Trevor Linden and “presenting a united front” should never be uttered in the same sentence. One of the persons most responsible for going behind the back of NHLPA leadership to strike a deal with Gary on a triple hard salary cap with escrow. Cost players billions of dollars.

@justBlakePrice Is this kid ok? Press conference and on ice play feels like it’s all pregamed by a bottle of zzzquil
English

@Sportsnet It’s clips like this that make me question every single person that states there shouldn’t be fighting in hockey… and yet people cheer this and this guy with his arms up feeling proud of beating a defenseless man on his back… I’ll take a hockey fight over this crap any day

@sekeresandprice @justBlakePrice @mattsekeres @TheFourthPeriod @Uber_Canada Well, he’s worth whatever you can get for him. Far too emotionally connected to the locker room drama. For him and for the Canucks, he needs a new address.
English

Teams are calling the #canucks about Conor Garland. What do you think he is worth in a trade?

@DanRussellST When they acquired him, nobody would have guessed he would end up commanding such a contract that he will. They also did not anticipate the team falling apart. Considering this, he is not the player they are looking to acquire, 30+ and looking for term and $$$. He had to go.
English

@SatiarShah The losses are only part of the tank. There’s work to do and young players that still need development and a light at the end of the tunnel. Do we believe the internal messaging is any more clear than ours? I don’t have that much faith in management
English

@SadClubCommish @garymasonglobe They need to gut the rot from that room. Whatever all has gone down in there. Miller/EP stuff, whatever, that has divided and rotted the team from the inside out. Thats why players/coaches want out, and it’s why a lot of fans want changes. No more masking the issues, real change
English

@garymasonglobe Some of us have been warning for years against the very situation that the Canucks now find themselves. So yeah, we get to complain.
English

@AndehWahl Right, so then the issue for you isn’t that folks want Petey out, it’s that you side with the presumed quick or hybrid rebuild management seems to prefer. I think there’s many fans that believe the rot in the room needs to be removed before this team can truly succeed again.
English

@jjohncross If the rebuild timeplan is 5+ years I would agree with you.
I don't think that's their plan though
English

A lot of deranged #Canucks fans are trying to run Elias Pettersson out of town, and your opinions are your own, but let me remind you about something.
Teams aren't trading their 1Cs to you. You'd have to find them through the draft. The odds of finding 1Cs in the draft? Extremely slim. Vancouver hit a home run in the 2017 draft in getting Pettersson, who still leads his draft year despite going 5th overall.
While I often understand the frustration about him, you need to remind yourself that there is no 1C in the pipeline, and even if they hit the jackpot and get McKenna... he's a winger.
Stop the hatred. Give criticism where criticism is due, and credit where credit is due, and trust me when I say I agree with a lot of criticism surrounding Pettersson at times, but for your own sake stop trying to run people out of town that you might not be able to replace in your lifetime.
English

@patersonjeff @overscaled IMO the locker room division isn’t getting enough credit/criticism. It’s not as “surfacy” as if we had this/that player, it’s about do we have a team or do we have a collection of hockey players. The drama has obviously gone further than EP40 and Miller. The room is fractured
English

@overscaled how so? The talent level wouldn't be markedly different
English

I say yes. But they had Quinn Hughes and were dead last. So one player -- even a good player like Bo -- wouldn't likely have made this situation *a lot* better. Less drama. But not necessarily many more wins
Sekeres and Price@sekeresandprice
Are the #Canucks in a better situation if they had chosen Bo Horvat over J.T. Miller?
English

@SadClubCommish Trade them all. Who cares about return. There’s nothing in this roster worth anything. Moving on would be the win.
English

@SadClubCommish Players themselves aren’t supposed to be “team tank” but that was one of the most pathetic efforts I’ve seen from this group. The gutting needs to be expedited. Tank, sure… no efforts, unacceptable.
English

@Canucks @McDonaldsCanada Maybe Petey has been “Team Tank” since before it was cool? 😎
English


@SadClubCommish There’s no more heart in these Canadian teams. I think Iginla has looked good, everything else… very meh.
English

@krufrank He has no term remaining, we aren’t buyers, why would we give up anything to get rid of him?? If anything you retain the maximum allowable, and maybe you get a pick back. Otherwise, he rides out into the sunset.
English

If you were VAN GM, would you pay a team to take Kane (mid round pick) or do you simply hang on to him till off season? #canucks
English

@sekeresandprice Let’s be real, does nobody remember losing in 94? and then a second and a half later Van has Mike Keenan and Mark Messier both just fracturing the room and leading the franchise anywhere but up. Losing Hughes blows, but we hated those NYR, and then they were us… that was dark.
English

Is this the lowest point in your #Canucks fandom?
