I would guess he does want to be around for the next expansion event to be remembered for filling the owners coffers with additonal cash. Even moreso if it is a double whammy as rumoured. My next guess is AIG (allegedly) has already voted yes on expansion based on the (alleged) local cost cutting ...

Stole this from that other Canuck's message board: The Vancouver Canucks are implementing eight jersey number changes for the 2026-27 season. This includes fresh assignments for recent free-agent signings as well as internal swaps for established roster players. Current Player Swaps Four players ...

Pretty weak if true.

Lets see what their player contract offers are like. If they start lowballing our youngsters that we think we want to build around then I worry.

I think I would do Lekker and a 2nd for Wright. I don’t think Lekker has what it takes to make it, and even as a reclamation project, write is a better asset. (And Canadian) One thing for sure, Manny, RJ and the twins have had 3 years to assess Lekkerimaki. They know his strengths, weaknesses and p ...

Another alumni comes home - Ryan Johnson announced today that Alex Edler is joining the Canucks in the team’s Player Development department , working closely with prospects throughout the organization. Who are we missing? WCE, Jovo, May, we have Salo right over in EU or did he just work with J ...

I thought that was a head scratcher at the time, and today see it as a massive blunder.

And for not drafting Hughes

Lane Hutson?? Fraser Minton?? You dont recognize those names?

JR is available

I would do Lekkerimaki for Wright. Both come with high potential. Both have not reached "star" status but still hold that potential. To me that would be a fair swap. Wright has a lot of what RJ likes. He captained the WJ team in U17, U18, U20 teams. The 2021 U18 won gold. The 2023 U20 won gold. He ...

Not a partial retaining....

Ahhh. Thanks for clarifying.

If there is csp retention involved, just say NO. Its hard enough you win with a full deck. But, retaining on EP40, and the OEL payouts would be crippling as we try to rebuild. How? When do you think the Canucks will be spending to the cap? Isn't the point of "weaponizing cap space" taking on a cash ...
