I think Boeser might go to Minnesota IF they have a high scoring center—but I don't know if they have anyone the Canuck covet—-any info out there on this possibility?
Trade Petterson to CBJ, see if you can pry Kent Johnson + Fabbro and some cap relief
Sound effects > Fill Right with left > Drag that Effect onto the audio. You're welocme.
i wish they would get a mike for the question it pisses me off so quiet
WHY IS IT PANNED TO THE LEFT
Sport net is such a joke
Canucks should fire Rutherford and Allvin
This does not sound like a man who wants to re sign boeser
As a non-Canucks fan, I would like to thank Allvin and his team of mental midgets for being the dumbest front office in the NHL.
The Nucks are basically team Sweden (and they don’t even have Willander or Lekkerimaki full-time yet). This is the softest team in the league and will get bullied every game.
should of gotten Kappo back then and a whole package for JT… management really fuked this one up and now gets back a injury prone player??? what a joke… we should of at least got Lafreniere and prospect… thats bs… look JT scored 2 goals… we got robbed in the deal…
What about Hronek…
He's looking overpaid.
This guy is the biggest bum in the history of the organization ill never be a canuck fan again
Reilly for Hughes coming up 😉
Boeser will be traded. Tocchet will be canned. They will keep princess petey, and 4 years from now he'll be traded to a team with a ton of cap space, we'll retain part of his salary, and he'll make, not earn, his 11 mil while getting 25 points a season and we'll never hear about him again.
This is just total BS hype from Patrick Allvin. He's now trying to make everything look happy and wonderful on the Canucks, so that he can justify the huge contract he and Jim Rutherford gave Elias Petterson, making him the 5th Highest Paid player in the NHL after Matthews, McDavid, Mackinnon, and Ovechkin, and more than many other more talented elite players, including Quinn Hughes. Allvin wants us to believe now that JT Miller is gone, Petterson is going to transform into an elite franchise superstar on the level of all the other big names. But it's all BS. It's NOT going to happen. Petterson is a good, talented player, but he is most definitely not a future superstar and Hall of Famer like Quinn Hughes. I wish he was, but Canucks fans are going to be very disappointed in the months and years to come.
So much negativity in these comments, wow
If I were starting a NHL team from scratch
Quinn Hughes would be the first choice
We now have only one star center who makes $11.6 mil per season and is not even a point a game.
He isn’t even double digit in goals last time I checked.
No Horvat, no Miller, no Lindholm and no Bedard.
Great job.
I can’t wait to find out one day what actually happened with JT.
Trade Elias too.
Fawken audio in the 21st century is still needing some work.
Only in fawken Vancouver it seems.
Fawken pathetic!
I lasted 2 fawken minutes.
I don’t know how we don’t resign Boeser. Who else is going to score for us?
Canucks fans deserve to know why did JT take time off.
He looks an older bald EP. Are they related.
So JT did NOT ask for a trade (this means it was "teams/Allvin etc that decided it full on? 2) Why did JT take those 2wks or whatever off earlier? (related to any of this or not?
Chytil and Puis battle for 2nd line Center -could be fun to watch. M.Peats on D gives us good depth.
Demko is starting to groove. I'm optimistic if our new players do well. Might take a few games though.
Good Luck out there Miller, but I am glad this media storyline is gonna be dead.
Allvin deserves so, so much more credit than he gets
You traded the wrong player! Petey should be the one who NEEDS to go!
I didn't know Paul Maurice was the GM of the Canucks.
Well if the pressure wasn’t on Elias to perform before, it is now.
I just hope that Jim R and Alvin ran these trades by "SweePee" before they finalized them, and that they also seek his blessings on any future deals.
Heaven forbid we should get another guy that might hurt his feelings!! 😂😂.
get rid of petterrson, he has done very little since you signed him to 11.7 million a year…. move him .enough of all the nepotism(swedes). Grit players win. Lose Petty before you can't. Canucks went thru this carrying Sedins huge contracts to retirement.
I hope you realize the huge mistake you just made I hope you know you’re probably never gonna win a game again because you just continue destroying your team
Why would you ever trade Miller for two players nobody even knows in the draft pick that’s probably gonna be crap and you guys are probably just gonna give away
See how this isn't about Miller and Petey? Alvin even stated it's less about two players not getting along. Boudreau said the "media is making mountains out of molehills" and that sounds exactly like what Myers meant when saying, "there was an incredible amount of unnecessary noise" and Quinn Hughes', "a lot of noise the last couple of weeks, months."
Now Alvin said he was trying to create a "healthy environment" for JT. In this case, 'noise' and 'healthy environment' are code for Vancouver media.
This entire Miller/Petey narrative basically made up out of whole cloth. Petey spoke of Miller with deep respect and gratitude. The players obviously loved him. But the media can NEVER be blamed yet I put 100% of the blame for Miller leaving at the Vancouver sports media's feet.
Vancouver locker room has been referenced as a country club ever since the Sedins retired
