I hope he shit cans it in Philly
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.

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.

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.

If by completely quit is fullfilling your contract. Then yeah, he completely quit.
Best coach the Canucks had in quite awhile and don't blame him for wanting to get away from the shitshow.

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 AAV

The less turnover on the roster, the better. Need a couple top 6 guys, and a couple guys to have bounceback seasons.

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.

Spot on Blobcat.

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

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.

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.

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.

It’s a mess, a Royal disaster. A calamity!

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.

It’s a mess, a Royal disaster. A calamity!
I agree. Is it time to send Rutherford out to the pastures to join up with Shanaplan, Rob Blake and Michael Gillis?
