I share news, info & opinions on NHL's most doomed franchise -- the Vancouver #Canucks, that I find interesting. Not your PR firm. Inquiries, DM me.
Friedman says one team told him Vancouver wasn't thrilled about moving their own 1st round pick this year (unless it was really worth it).

Friedman also says Canucks wanted a prospect that wasn't signed by the NY Rangers - Arthur Staples reported it was Drew Fortescue, NY Ranger's top D prospect.

According to Friedman, his understanding was salary retention in the first JT Miller trade with the NY Rangers was the hold up. Still, Allvin told reporters that salary retention never came up.

Brooks: Chytil will give everything to the Canucks that he has.

Brooks: the only reason Chytil was available was because of his health. You never know when his next shift is going to be his last shift.

According to Larry Brooks, the NY Rangers looked into the locker room drama and were comfortable bringing in JT Miller.

Rutherford says Tocchet asked Zadorov what it would take to keep him,while Allvin negotiated with the agent. Zadorov said $5M to stay, they'd meet the ask,but then raise the term to 6 yrs. Rutherford says twice he gave me 1 more thing and I’ll stay,we gave it to him,then he went to Boston.

Rutherford acknowledged the team misses Ian Cole and Nikita Zadorov. Rutherford is "mystified" by the accusation that Canucks disrespected Zadorov during the negotiation process.

Demko’s game hasn’t surprised Rutherford (a former NHL goalie). He says players who miss camp often have a slow start and usually get injured again.

“He’ll be okay... he has a lot of talent and it’s still there.”

Gary Mason: Rutherford told me he warned Pettersson when he signed his $93M, 8yr extension that it would make things harder... He’d have to be more prepared, mentally and physically. EP116 didn’t come into camp at that level but now he gets it.

Rutherford to Gary Mason:

“There is no playbook for this, so, you don’t know if any of us have done everything we can. I’m satisfied that he [Tocchet] has spent as much time as possible on the situation, meeting after meeting after meeting trying to resolve this."

Bruce also says management suggesting to move Quinn Hughes to Center was coming from an analytical point of view and it's not out of character for a general manager to make all sorts of recommendations throughout a season.

"They didn't like our exists in our zone."

Bruce Boudreau says the conversation about moving Quinn Hughes to Center happened 2-3 times. The first time someone came down from management...

"listen have you ever thought about putting Quinn in Center?"

Nick Kypreos also says he still believes there's a package out there with Buffalo for EP116 and Dylan Cousins.

"There's something there"

Nick Kypreos says he still believes JT Miller goes before EP116, but he thinks EP116 gets traded in the off season.

Dhali says he talked to a team that spoke to Canucks about both JT Miller and Pettersson and they felt that Canucks were pushing JT Miller more.

According to Friedman, if he was an apart of this Canucks team and it got broken up, he would feel he failed and it would bother him. He feels this team can win.

Is Elliotte hinting at players asking for a trade should that happen?
January 6, 2025 at 1:30 PM
Friedman: The Canucks are definitely, definitely looking at the market for both players and you should be prepared for three outcomes (neither get dealt, one of them, or the other gets dealt).

#canucks

Friedman says he found no evidence that Pettersson or JT Miller has asked for a trade.

According to Friedman, as part of a package back for either of JT Miller or Pettersson, they're prioritizing a Center over a defenseman.

Seravalli says “I think there's a lot more teams than [Buffalo]. I'd keep an eye on Carolina. They tried to acquire Pettersson before he ended up re-signing.”

“I'd keep an eye on a few other teams, even some teams that aren't currently in the playoff picture.”

Oilers radioman Bob Stauffer:

“People in Vancouver have mentioned: ‘Pettersson getting $3.6M more than JT Miller’ and ‘who plays with Hughes’ as possible rift issues.”

Seravalli: “Not even a little bit.”

Stauffer: “That’s your take.”

Justin Bourne:

I bet you if Toccket has to choose between Miller and Pettersson, he’d back Pettersson’s bags

Per Kypreos, JT Miller, he believes, has one destination he would waive his NMC to make a trade happen and that is the New York Rangers.

He thinks the trade is JT Miller for Zibanejad (plus extra pieces around it) as the major pieces.
