bill guerin did a presser and he said it had been in the works for 2 weeks. dallas, colorado and minnesota are in a full blown arms race.
Looks like Elliotte is filming a Hostel sequel
The Devils wouldn't make Nemec available, Philly wouldn't make Martone available, Dallas doesn't have anyone they wanted, Detroit wouldn't make Sandin-Pellikka available, and Colorado wouldn't make Necas available. That would be my guess.
Good.luck to Quinn. The Schmucks wont capitalize on these young guys . They will leave after a bit ..
Vancouver absolutely Fleeced the Wild on this.
Is elliot in a trap house LOL?
Detroit picking Zadina turned into 4 first round picks for Vancouver
Zeev Buium is the best player coming back
No player is taller than 6 feet tall! Are we going to win being the smallest team in the league?
The Canucks absolutely suck from top to bottom. Ownership, management, remaining players. Complete joke.
The Wild are going to regret the moves they made this season in the upcoming years.
Elliotte is the part of toxic media creating so much drama and sh**tshow
quinn never wanted to go to NJ because it would take away playing time with his brothers
Quiin wasn't going to get Vancouver a cup, he's invisible in the playoffs.
Canucks are aimless, bad ownership & management. Destined for last place in next 10 years
DELETE THIS ENTIRE CANUCKS TEAM! Start over – full reset all young guys and draft picks!
Hughes leads all defencemen in assists over the last 5 years.
Rutherford is clearly just a feather in the cap for Bettman for buying into US expansion in the 90's because he got one cup riding a rookie goalie in the first year after a lockout then couldn't make the playoffs for over a decade. Then he's gifted the Pens core in their prime. Guy is a fraud and anyone thinking he belongs in the HOF is a joke.
Quinn is an overrated whiner. He is Makar lite.
Canucks suck. And like the sabres they will never win a cup..alvin is a dolt, The owners are a joke don't spend money on marquis players..lindh9lm/zadorov/ their best players in playoffs and wont sign them is proof of there incompetence. Wouldnt give Z an extra 400k to stay? Owners dont have winning mentality and never spend. Why mess up a good thing unless your incompetent. Dont say the cap, they can make room. The best forward theyve had in 30 years is marcus naslund..messier didnt count..its a loser franchise
I’ve watched every Canucks game, every 82 games and playoffs every season since I was 4, and I’m 30. This is the only season I haven’t bothered watching, because I don’t even know who anyone is or care aside from, Kane, Pettersson, Demko, Boeser and Hughes. That’s why I haven’t watched, because they’re a nothing team, and now, I’m definitely not going to even try to back into watching or caring because I felt bad I wasn’t. They just destroyed this team, officially, it’s over, unless we get new management and somehow bring him back, but to trade not only the captain, but the best defenceman in the league, and probably the best skater we’ve ever seen or had, is not only disgusting, it’s something that makes me not even care if the team was sold at this point. I say, sell the organization, get new owners and try to buy a new franchise and start from scratch, because this is just pointless now.
Elliott Hockey's insider had no idea the Wild were in on Hughes trade. What a dope makes up shit.
Minnesota still won't win a round and Hughes will disappear in the playoffs like he always does. Then he goes to jersey and Minnesota goes into a rebuild when kaprizov requests a trade
I've not been the biggest Guerin fan, but I give him a lot of credit for taking a shot here on Hughes. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but you've not won a playoff series in over 10 yrs so why not shake things up and try something bold. Hughes is one of the best skating defenseman I've ever seen next to Orr. Elite skater and playmaker.
Is Elliotte in the NWT?
This will be a bus stop… even with a potential cup. The Hughes’ are a pond hockey family… they will want to be on the same team-
Team Hughes vs all the neighborhood kids.
Go wild go!!!
Hughes is still unproven in playoff hockey, this year will show much about him
Wild better hope he stays and doesn’t go to nj in free agency
Good riddance. Second worst captain in team history.
Smart deal by Canucks GM. Elliot we need younger XHekaj and youg Sweed D fro Montreal help us out.
Haven't watched much hockey since last year, but Quinn was with the Canucks for almost 10 years we never made a deep playoff run. It's time to move on and bring new people in. Rossi seems promising and we got another defencemen back anyways.
