Quinn Hughes on wanting to kill penalties: For Bruce to put me on the PK, it means a lot. I’m trying to round out my game, and I’m tired of hearing that I’m just an offensive defenseman.

I think the kid will won at least 1 Norris during just career. This year, my early favorite is Makar.

Exactly what I have been saying since he became coach. No systems, no team pressure, idiot, how the media loved that guy was beyond me.

I’m not so sure that is accurate. From the broadcast last night and from some of the pressers from Bruce, it seems like there were incredibly strict and complex systems in place that stopped many of the players from using their natural hockey IQ. The Sportsnet panel (Anthony Stewart?) mentioned that the players were too busy thinking about what they were supposed to do instead of just reacting to the situation. The game is so fast now that if you think about what you need to do it’s already too late. It was frustrating the players.

Bruce mentioned that he’s trying to dumb things down a bit and letting the player’s skill take over.

Whatever the truth is I hope they can get the team back on track and at the minimum give us some entertainment.

This is how I see it as well. I was just explaining it to my father.

Sounds like the Canucks are getting Jim Rutherford in either a president or gm role (or both). The same guy who traded for gudbranson, and gave Mike Matheson a ridiculous extension.

Everyday I'm hearing it's one person or another. Half the people mentioned are currently employed or have no experience. It's ridiculous.

Like Code's mentioned...

Things are escalating between veteran NHL executive, Jim Rutherford and the Vancouver Canucks. A deal is expected to get done, although sources won’t confirm if it’s for the presidents role or both president and GM.

Imagine hiring a guy who lost a trade to Jim Benning

Guy gave Jack Johnson one of the worst contracts in the league
Traded for Gudbranson

Francesco can go (frank) himself if this is the route.

I mean, this is being circulated all over the place by many reputable hockey people. I havent been around here much lately so I don't know what's being said.

Didn't he also trade for Bonino and Kessel and won two cups?

yup......... he did

I'm not trying to defend him, or say I want him, but he made moves that turned into 2 cups. I would ruin our team for the next 20 years, support them during that time, if we won 2 cups to do it

Hopefully this Rutherford hiring creates some angst and turmoil in here.

He didn’t trade a first for Reeves. It was a swap of picks and players
