Yep, you are right. Sorry Mëds - that was uncalled for.

An all time rack there. Watched a lot of really bad movies/TV because of her.

Fuck me running! Rutherford just went on record stating that they had a good indication that Hughes was leaving a year and a half ago. 18 fucking months ago, and it was all but a sure thing this past summer. That lines up with.....oh wait.....Pettersson signing his extension and proceeding to shit ...

1OA - You draft the kid from Whitehorse.

All. Day Long.

2OA - grab the biggest guy available - big RD sounds pretty amazing.

Lots of "Ifs" when dealing with youth But certainly not more than Van was dealing with headed into the season with health and a certain player being able to elevate thier game. I'm seeing a bit of light at the end of the tunnel here - if Van can grab some more 1RP, I dare say it might be a quick ...

Beauty of a question posed to Allvin today in the media Q&A after trading Hughes..... When you look at past Stanley Cup winners that were consistent contenders, you see names like Barkov, Crosby, MacKinnon, guys who can lead and produce at that 1C level, do you think Elias Pettersson can be that ...

Donny is the poster of positivity.

Mod status for the win.

Kudos to you on that one.

Nostratheman

It seems the Canucks Mgmt were aware Hughes wasn't resigning with Van.

If true, this certainly would have been the best leverage they had to get the best deal possible.

Hopefully they can parlay some of these peices into better peices?

No need to project limits on to the first 1OA in franchise history before we've ever even seen him in the NHL.

That's a big IF.

Especially for the Canucks

Honestly I thought they were going to hang on to Quinn for a while longer.

I'm feeling sick.

I'm with you here 5th. We will never again see a player of his ilk in a Canucks uniform.

Is he taking Hughes' spot then?

Dark day.

My guess is he wanted out. No other reason to trade him today.

Either way, he's proven to not be the answer at 1C for this team to contend. This is likely the best we'll get from Petey moving forward. Someone comparable to RNH at over twice the cost, but hopefully the cap will rise to dull the pain some. Time to get a new 1C. Highly unlikely that Cootes will ...

No more chants of STU in Edm.

Did they solve their goaltending issue? Or just kick the can down the road?
