Willander’s agent is Todd Diamond. He was the guy able to negotiate that great contract to bring Tryamkin back to Vancouver. Oh, hang on, that never happened, even with Dhali shilling hard to make it happen. Well, maybe Willander can enjoy another season at BU after all.

If you listen to all the noise around this, it sounds like maybe Willander isn't interested in Abby and if he can't see a path straight into the Canucks lineup next year he'd prefer to go back to the university for his junior year. I don't think it's a bad plan, he hasn't really been tracking as a two year college player. A dominant third year could really help his development.Picker of Cherries wrote: ↑Thu Apr 17, 2025 7:53 pm Willander’s agent is Todd Diamond.

Just had a good read in The Athletic about EP40 and how bad his skating was this past season compared to before the all-star break last year. They have some videos of him in the past and he was SIGNIFICANTLY faster than this year. His ability to carry the puck has also changed to where he has become a dump/chase vs. using his skills to carry the puck.
Another point is:
We need EP40 to get his skating back and confidence.
Another point is:
They do say that it is because of his skating and puck handling that has caused his shot to drop.Pettersson’s shot volume has cratered. In 2022-23, Pettersson fired 257 shots on goal through 80 games, an average of 3.2 per game. This season, he mustered just 109 shots in 64 games, an average of 1.7 per game. That’s a near 50 percent drop-off.

Topper prompted me to listen to Tocchets presser as well as EP's thereafter.
Comments on EP, Miller and Hughes are excellent listening.
Well worth the watch if y'all are a Canucks fan.

I took from his glowing admiration for JTMiller vs his lukewarm at best comments on EP40 as a peek into how this likely played out.
My guess is Tocchet probably had Miller's back more than the pipe cleaners throughout the drama. It could also explain why Peter played like arse

Dhaliwal continues to insist that the holdup on signing Willander is Schedule A bonuses.

So the Aquas need to head out to the corner this summer and rent out their lawn for PNE parkers to cover the bonuses?

This is why it's so much more fun following Abbotsford.
