According to Murphy’s law, anything that can go wrong will go wrong. From locker room drama, to injuries, and underperforming superstars, everything went wrong for the Vancouver Canucks last season. Despite the turmoil surrounding the club, they still finished with 90 points. It’s not inconceivable that they return to contender status next season, but a lot has to go right. In this video, I present the blueprint for the Canucks to be GOOD again.

What are your expectations for the Canucks next season?
Really great video man, nice work
Hate to break it to you man but the canucks are done for 4 to 5 years
Odds are no one wanted the job in Vancouver. Jim Rutherford brought in the full coaching staff and he can't admit he was completely WRONG about everything he's done beyond Sherwood and Lankinen.
I'm a bit shocked that someone providing Canucks commentary isn't proposing idiotic trade suggestions or stupid takes. Well done.
This is the Canucks… aquaman would rather have this team sit in mediocrity hell than trade away our talent when he’s facing the inevitable future of needing a rebuild.
This season was a fall from grace
If no changes are made to the forward group, expect the same result as last year
We are one 2nd line center and one top 6 winger from being back in the post season imo. surely our management doesn’t run back another tire fire and refuse to make any moves for months again right?
From what I understand, no one wants to work with the Aqualinis anymore. Their reputation sucks and so they have to overpay for everything because few will work with them
I want alex tuch, rasmussen
Luckily for the real fans they increased the already ridiculous ticket prices again
Trading jT miller was the setback for the decade
Delusional
Kent Johnsons not a center
Psychologically speaking… I don't like what I see from EP30. I see a head case. Kids got some mental or personality issues. BIG ISSUES.
Love it, but I think your snide remark about affordability, is both unfair and a cheap shot.
For one, there is nothing wrong in being a spend thrift; if anything, it is a good sign. Your alternative, is Jim Benning.
For another, there is no evidence to suggest that the Aquilinis do not spend to the cap.
They do.
If the Aquilini's can't afford to build a practice facility then they should sell. They don't even need to sell the entire team. Sell a 20-30% stake a bring in another partner that can help with these things. If they're serious about winning then that's what they should do. Look at the raiders in the nfl, mark davis not only sold stakes to an investment group to help put more money into the raiders but then after that he sold at an extreme discount to Brady because he felt Brady could help the team win. That's how badly he wants to win. Now the Aquillini's don't need to sell at an extreme discount but at least bring someone else in that has deep pockets to help with something like a practice facility
I’d do Lekkerimaki for Johnson and add if we needed to.
Why are we not looking for a #1 center to replace EP40? He is done. Duchene, Bennett (FA) or Stamkos, Barzal, O'Reilly, or Larkin (trade) are all good options
Exactly what are they “close” to?
They were “close” and trending in the right direction at the end of 2023-24. Then, the offseason happened and Allvin showed the world he was in over his head. He’s been treading water since then. No way Tocchet hides behind the I-want-to-be-with-my-family-on-the-East-Coast excuse and leaves if Allvin doesn’t ruin the team a year ago.
And, as for those who feel the Canucks defenceman are a more solid group now than any in recent memory, don’t let the fact that they have 1 really good guy at LD1 and another solid guy at RD2 (who would prefer to be at RD1 again) distract you from the reality that aside from the aforementioned 2, they have a bunch of 3rd pairing talent masquerading and being pushed as top-2 pairing players, with zero top-2 RH pairing options aside from Hronek, who, in true Canuck fashion, will probably be traded this summer. And, please don’t come at me talking shit about Tyler Myers. No way in hell should Allvin have re-signed him. And, I’m embarrassed for anyone who thinks Willander is ready to be added to the group next season. If Cole McWard hasn’t been able to break through yet, what makes anyone think Willander will fare any differently straight from university?
And don’t let the fawning over Foote and his role in shaping the defence distract you from the fact that he’s yet another first-time NHL Head Coach for the Canucks.
McTavish or byfield would be the dream
Dont sel the team bru
Francesco had that whole pedal peet thing might have caost him some coin
The Canucks are far from being a contender…
gonna be about 10 years of misfortune before they become relevant again!
I like your take actually refreshing thank you it’s like you are invading my thoughts really good job and not over the top with B.S.Thanks
Ive been following your content the last few months brother. You are doing comprehensive, professional quality work. I knew you were a local, and likely a brown guy from the voice narration on the previous videos, lol but now putting a face to the voice id love for that Chuck Norris Indo Canadian beard to lay the smack down on the Shambolic Canucks management group. Keep up the quality content and may your growth and success be continual and exponential. The hockey knowledge you possess is deep in nuanced, Big respect to you, and big ups to your channel.
