Carol Schram: Jim Rutherford talks about leaving Pittsburgh and his good fit in Vancouver In a candid interview with Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Jim Rutherford explains his abrupt departure from the Penguins early in 2021, and why he felt ready to return to hockey when he joined the Vancouver Canucks later that year.

Thanks Carol.

Thank you Carol for a nice Saturday read.

Thanks Carol.

I guess it will be the next blog when you write about Miller's agent talking about cutting off contract talks once the season starts.

The fantasy of signing him looks like a bust. Also, looks like any trade partner will be in the same boat on contract negotiations. His value continues to crash. They really painted themselves into a corner with Miller.

CA talks about the interview with Miller's agent that was published in the Athletic.

I read that article in the Athletic, but I didn't think there was anything new there. Rick Dhaliwal is credited as a co-author, so I think the comment from Miller's agent is the same one he tweeted out a week or so ago.

Can't make every blog about Miller, right?

There's no need for her to write a blog about it. You do it on here daily.

True.

I must of missed the agent comments about cutting off contract talks once the season starts. I don't have a subscription to The Athletic.

Thanks Carol!

Thank goodness, it seems to be a story that some just need to regurgitate, yes it is a hockey topic, but nothing has changed, when there is new movement then it becomes a topic again.

I read that Rutherford article last week, honest straight forward answers and when he says enough I will not answer, well that's it. Vancouver media won't like that, as drama and fear mongering speculation seems to be the fall back with some.

OK. The CA article mentions nothing about Dhaliwal and I cant read the Athletic. I don't remember discussions about RD's twitter post specifically about this comment so it must of got by me.

Looks like you & I might become blood-brothers if Miller is still a Canuck post TDL.

Don't worry. Nighthawk insists there will be lucrative bidding war on this player who won't be negotiating a new contract.

People are still talking Dobson and a 1st... even after the agent comments. Good grief...

When I think of Miller I get a picture of David Banner walking down the road.

Haven’t seen anyone in Canuck management command the same respect since the late great Pat Quinn.

Miller - "You're making me angry... You wouldn't like me when I'm angry!" *eyes start to turn green*

Yes I remember your sign and trade comment and that was only a week ago... after this comment from Miller's agent two weeks ago. Good luck with that.
