Nonsense.
How over the top was the media and some of you posters over the other ex-Canucks? Cancers, quitters, mean girls... you want to talk about rhetoric?
The whole team was dismantled over this one bad choice of a player. Coaches bailed, players bailed, management fired, top dog slinking his way off the ship with his legacy in tatters.
This team went from 109pts to DEAD LAST with this lead horse.
This guy may not be a "cancer" but he sure is persona non-grata now. Never got support from the ex-teammates. Didn't get support from current teammates. Coach praises some vets and young guys... not a single mention of THE GUY.
POHO & GM has been openly saying that he has been part of the problem and not the solution they expected these last two seasons. The toxicity in the room didn't get better until just over a month ago? Hmmm...
No, it's not way over the top. This team, even with TFGs gone, will take years before being relevant again. Watch for the guys getting up in age to quietly quit this team.
What would people post about otherwise? There'll always be GDHT even without this guy.

The salary structure of the contract is a nightmare. He's already been paid $29M, he gets $11m this year, then back to $14.45M followed by $12.25M. The final three years he finally gets affordable at $8.75M.
Anyone know how the signing bonuses of the NHL contracts are paid out? For example, Petey gets a $5M signing bonus for every year starting in the 27-28 season, is the signing bonus paid @ the beginning of each season or is it paid to him once he signed his contract back in 2024?
