Media (AKA Idiots) Rebooted

[Chef Boi RD]

Agreed RD but wouldn’t a top 3 pick or heaven forbid a 1st OA pick make this team instantly better next season? The teams structure has totally fallen apart because of all the injuries and at the beginning of the season we all knew Demko and Chytil would not last the season but we thought Lankinen would at least play as well as he did last season.

Seems everything that could go wrong has and the D is significantly worse than anticipated.

I’ve thought about that as well, does drafting McKenna influence Hughes decision? Personally, I think not, but who knows. I don’t think McKenna makes us better overnight, plus he doesn’t solve the problem down the middle short term, no offence to Cootes.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Megs, this is NOT positive posting.

I fervently hope he trades neither, Carl.

But we must always be prepared for the boss to blow his brains out again.

[Lancer]

Mr Aquilini is probably thinking about packaging the first with Hughes to try to stay competitive.

Whatever would convince Dumbass to part with Crosby or Malkin, or any other scenario which involves a 30+ year-old star which will “get them over the hump”.

This is where the old fart needs to earn his keep by ‘managing up’.

[Madcombinepilot]

We are literally watching the media run the kid out of town, and watching it happen.

disgusting.

Just to be clear, we are watching ourselves watching?

Yeah. People need to post in the comments section of all these “click reporters”. Tell them to get real jobs, or actually start reporting instead of reposting (someone else’s opinion).

No. Every star is 2-3 years away unless they are ‘generational’

Look at Bedard

But the feel good vibes we’d all get from knowing there is a Bedard like prospect cooking in the kitchen is unquestionably healthy for all Canuckind

Absolutely and when I mean instantly better I don’t mean a contender but it should mean a playoff team. Ok I will take off my rose glasses.

It depends upon the team and where they are at in their build.

Bédard, in his rookie season, would be an immediate help to last year’s Canucks. This year I don’t think the same. As a rookie he put up 22G/61PTs but finished a minus-44…..that smacks of a defensive liability on a team that can’t play defense…..which is what we have in Vancouver this year. So it might translate into more goals, and that might mean the Canucks win a couple more, but ultimately it means that we simply lose more games 4-2 instead of 4-1.

Should the Canucks make changes to who and how many media members are accredited?..

From the Athletic;

And as much as Friday was surely a bittersweet day for Hughes, because there’s no denying how much he loved Vancouver, its fans and the way the organization treated and developed him, he’ll love Minnesota, where there’s a lot less noise but no less love of hockey.

In Minnesota, Hughes won’t have to be the spokesman after every game, although he’ll be a go-to quote for his deadpans alone, coupled with the fact that he’ll get oodles of points putting the puck into the hands of Kaprizov and Boldy. I’ve gotten to sit down with Hughes several times in Vegas at NHL Media Tours, and the soft-spoken kid can have you howling one second and riveted the next with his candid responses.

He doesn’t shy from attention, either, even if he’s not as boisterous as his kid brother, Devils star Jack Hughes, or even baby brother and Devils defenseman Luke Hughes.

Still, Minnesota should be a breath of fresh air for Quinn — surrounded daily by a half-dozen reporters as opposed to 26.

Wondering as the team looks to find a new jersey to pin the "C" onto...

[Cousin Strawberry]

McKenna can be the next captain

[Hockey Widow]

Ya you don't want a new captain until the rebuild is done We've traded 3 of the last four.

[Picker of Cherries]

Ya you don't want a new captain until the rebuild is done We've traded 3 of the last four.

Please name Myers captain!

Careful, this triggers Hank's rage post responses

LOL. Not Pettersson?

[Picker of Cherries]

Hey, I didn’t say anything bad about Myers.
Nobody should get worked up.
Naming him captain should be considered an honour.
As far as I’m concerned, they could also hang his jersey in the rafters.
He doesn’t even need to take it off.
