Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
I don't have a problem with him leaving. If he was in camp Miller and then they traded the wrong guy, why stick around? I am more surprised that the stink of quit didn't stick to Paul Maurice because he absolutely quit on his team.Cousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 6:28 pm He's getting off pretty easy in Van in my opinion. He completely quit on the Canucks and by doing so has, shown to be full of shit with everything he preaches to the players, fans, the hockey world
I hope he shit cans it in Philly
Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
It didn’t stick to him because he didn’t quit and walk into a new NHL gig a couple of weeks later. There was no opening waiting for him.MJN wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 6:42 pmI don't have a problem with him leaving. If he was in camp Miller and then they traded the wrong guy, why stick around?

Was he wrong when he said the team needed a new voice to get to the next level? I don’t think so. Bowness got the Jets back on track, however they have never seen their regular season success translate to the post-season.

Agreed. His contract was up, and he moved on to greener pastures. Mr Aquilini came up short in the negotiations. I wish Tocchet luck.MJN wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 6:42 pmI don't have a problem with him leaving. If he was in camp Miller and then they traded the wrong guy, why stick around?

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
They have a weak of mind Luongoesque goalie issue. It deflated their whole mojo bubble. Id trade that shit as fast as possible of I was chevyMëds wrote: ↑Sat May 24, 2025 11:27 pmIt didn’t stick to him because he didn’t quit and walk into a new NHL gig a couple of weeks later.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
If by completely quit is fullfilling your contract. Then yeah, he completely quit.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sun May 25, 2025 12:06 amAgreed. His contract was up, and he moved on to greener pastures.

Best coach the Canucks had in quite awhile and don't blame him for wanting to get away from the shitshow.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
I hope not. He is a serviceable middle 6 guy that plays every position and has stepped up when needed... and all that at a bargain AAVCousin Strawberry wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 12:02 pm I can see Suter going to join tocket in Philly to nestle in under his warm, downy wing
The less turnover on the roster, the better. Need a couple top 6 guys, and a couple guys to have bounceback seasons.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
It depends what Suter wants as far as term and cap hit go. There's a lot more cap dollars available this summer and a thin free agent crop.
Thing is this team is already paying 5 million dollars off the cap to two guys who don't play here. They can't be throwing crazy money to Suter. I like him but he has his limitations.

They need to make their decision regarding trades before they can commit to any salary commitments that are greater than a couple mil.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
Agreed, but I think they’re looking at price per position. They obviously don’t see him as the answer at 2C. That means he’s playing 3C or on the wing in the top-6. I don’t think management would see him in the top-6 unless as injury insurance.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 12:12 pm It depends what Suter wants as far as term and cap hit go.

I think even Suter knows he’s not a top-6 forward on a contending team - either at Centre or wing. Nobody can blame him for maximizing his income while he’s sub-30, but it’s a question of whether he wants to go all-in on cashing in on his payday, or whether he wants to balance his payday with his desire to win. Even if he wanted to balance winning with payday, does he think he can do that in Vancouver?
If he wants to bolt for more money than management will offer him, best of luck and no hard feelings. Management has shown a talent for getting the most out of their middle-six forwards - or promptly trading them if it doesn’t look like it’s working out.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
The pressure is on. Houston has a problem, the top 6 is as bleak as life on Mars and they are under the gun to fixin’ it. Big time. I fully expect crazy money to be spread around this summer, unless they plan on using assets like the 2025 1st, Willander, D-Pete or Lekker, or Hronek, Demko, Gnarly Gnarlands, Sherwood, etc., to address the shit hole they created in the top 6.

Re: 2025 Canucks Off-season
I agree. Is it time to send Rutherford out to the pastures to join up with Shanaplan, Rob Blake and Michael Gillis?Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Mon May 26, 2025 4:50 pm
The pressure is on. Rutherford has a weak colon, as weak as the mess he created in Vancouver, even a diaper change will do him no good, it’s a steady stream of creamy shits. I fully expect crazy contracts coming in.

So three years is the standard? Be consistent if you have it in your DNA.
