Re: Canucks News N Notes 25-26
But I suspect Gold's salary requirement wasn't the real hang up for ownership. Instead, it was all of the collateral costs of cleaning house and getting Gold's guys -- the contract buyouts -- and constructing analytics and/or scouting as Gold proposed. But again, you know that before making the ...

Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
Gaffar is saying that RJ has been offered a job as "head of hockey ops" - whatever that means in whatever front office constellation the owners concoct moving forward. Rumors are rumors and leaks are always sus to some extent, but this seems quite a chaotic build-up to whatever announcement gets ...

Re: Re-booted SKYO approved pipe dreams and trade ideas
Yeah, but, if Anaheim needs to shed salary, I'd be happy with MMcT over Mancini and Raty. He is a way better centre than Raty, and we have internal replacements for Mancini. If that's all it takes, then I'll throw Mancini and his mother in the deal. Honestly, with this roster no one should be truly ...

Re: The Petey Predicament
This is a shortcoming of coaches like Tocchet and Greene (particularly Greene) -- the hyperfocus on doing better what one does not so well without any consideration as to the tradeoff. And its not just a shortcoming of individual player development, but of team construction. We are fast but not ...

Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
As much as RJ is a defensible hire, I would be happy with them taking a vat of bleach to the front office - maybe some lye while they're at it - if they go with Gold. While some parts - such as Abbottsford and the scouts - weren't the absolute dumpster fire the big team was, it's not like they made ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft
Thanks for the breakdown. I still think Maholtra at 3 would be a reach. That being said, if both he and Cootes teach their potential of being 2C that is a pretty good centre depth situation to have. Which one of them plays 3C then? Neither, EP 40 does. What team has ever competed with 3 x 3Cs and ...

Re: Post season round by round predictions.
Carolina is just a machine. They are what I think Tocchet wants his teams to be.

Re: What We've Got (Looking Ahead With Current Contracts)
The numbers are half the reason most of us want him traded. I thought it was the salary? If he was making 5 or 6, would you keep him? No Me neither. It’s the lack of competitiveness and drive in his play - especially the last couple years. It’s that kind of body-language and flashes of long-gone ski ...

Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
The fact the Preds asked about him is an indication that he’s valued outside the organization as well. This was outright denied. Do you have a link showing otherwise? My bad. Going on bad recollection. So, we don’t know for sure what folks around the league think of him. I don’t think it changes my ...

Re: Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?
Honestly, either would work for me for different reasons. RJ is more familiar with the waters he will have to negotiate with ownership and the various parts of the organization. Gold brings a fresh approach and a good body of work from Boston. You think about it, RJ has paid his dues in this ...

Re: 2026 NHL Draft
As I said before, McKenna/Stenberg and even more so Malhotra are sea of ganlund guys with Nuge upside. Complimentry 1st line, decent second line potential. They may make the team next season either by earning a spot or forced into one and fans will oooooh and ahhhh. There is still alot of trash to ...

Re: What We've Got (Looking Ahead With Current Contracts)
Too bad the guy can't have a career-ending mishap in the upcoming training camp and ride out his contract on LTIR. He'd be more valuable to the team there than in that dressing room. Rumour has it that Matt Cooke and Steve Downie are being coaxed out of retirement on PTO’s for the Canucks. If I was ...
