I can't say I hate a guy that hated the Country Club when I hated the Country Club.

If I remember correctly McCann hated the Country Club also.

That got him traded.

Not sure what this has to do with the country club. The alphas on the team hated him w a passion for being a soft little B!tch. He would straight up cry when he was slashed or cross checked. Couldn’t understand why other players were mean. I’ve heard this from players and a coach

It did for sure.

I don't blame NT for speaking out about it. As much as I think this trade was underwhelming, I am glad to see the last peice removed.

Is this a Sedin thing lol…cause you know Tocchet said he wants to use them more.

Horvat is a passive leader so yeah you might get more yelling in the room now. Will that make them play smarter who knows. Tougher… maybe. Be a better team… likely not. The lobotomy of failure is deeply entrenched in this group. Many more trades are needed.

I am not a fan of the Sedins still with the Canucks. Aside from them the CC is gone.

That does not mean though that the Canucks still don't have bad players on the team. That is two different subjects.

8 year contract
- CanuckDon

Teams like to lower the AAV on 8 years. But yeah Bo could circle back to Isles if they top up the offer. Bo owes them no loyalty and was set on going UFA.

Either way kid will get paid big with his season. Plus if he gets a chance at playoffs, where he ramps it up, even more so $$$.

So the rest are not CC guys just some bad ones that need to go?

The Sedin joke is just that they have no influence in the room. Their advisory or player development role is a curious one as to its effect.

Daniel Wagner

Exactly how much demand will there be for a 29-year-old defenceman who is averaging 18:26 in ice time with 10 points in 56 games in the KHL? I’m thinking somewhere below “tremendous.”

They spend more time helping out in Abbotsford. One of them told Klimovich that he has to keep his feet moving. Ever since then Klimovich has been a (frank)en hot streak.

Yes.

One can only blame the CC for so much. Sooner or later you have to put some of the blame on years of bad everything.

He is too soft to say no to Lou. He will take his $68MM and fade off into the sunset

Well then that’s good getting through to player development.

Maybe Hank can get Raty to improve his skating etc like he did. Just getting a prospect win for once in development would go a long way to turning this sad sack team around.

Vancouver doesn't own his rights anymore. Sooner or later the BC crowd will figure out that the world doesn't revolve around them.

Now that the Canucks actually own their development team will go a long ways.
