If Quinn Hughes departs I wish him well, but I hope one day, in the twilight of his career, he comes back with a chance to bring a Cup here. There’s a lot of work to be done to rebuild this team in the meantime. Unless Aquilini and mgmt stick to their rose coloured glasses.

So were JR & Allvin just yanking our chain about structure, structure, structure? No mention of it now. Where did the structure go? Canucks under Foote are anything but structured. Was it all just rhetoric?

It's too bad star players like Guentzel, Rantanen, and Marner don't want to play there. They are a superstar away from winning a Cup.

The only way to explain where the Canucks are on this graphic is that either Canucks mgmt sucks, or the mandate given by the owner sucks. Could be both, but I think it’s the latter.

The Hurricanes have proved that maxing out on draft capital does not mean you have to tear things down to rebuild. I dislike the term actually. They are in constant retool. Part of retooling should be maximizing draft capital while remaining competitive.

So, next game, Canucks vs Tampa. In the last 10 years the Lightning have won 2 cups and made the playoffs nine times. And YET over that time the Lightning have had two more picks in the first 3 rds of the draft than Vancouver! A fan’s nightmare.

The Canucks are likely to start a Leaf’s cast-off as their 2nd line centre. This, after the Canes had more high danger chances in the last gm than the Canucks had shots. Myers chaos back. Definitely feeling like the Benning era.

Check out the two teams playing tonight as to their ability to acquire draft capital with picks in the first three rounds over the last 10 years. The record of the Canucks here is remarkably shameful. *means Cup champion.

It’s pretty clear that Thatcher Demko was given an elite goaltending mind and athleticism to match, but his body was not made for the rigours of that position. There are so many similar stories of great athletes whose bodies let them down. #Canucks

Wow. Teams that get saddled with awful, over-zealous ownership. This could be the story of Aquilini and the Canucks for the last decade plus!

Canucks are in the zone where as prudent management you shift to maximizing draft capital. See if you can double or triple your picks in the first three rounds. Call it what you want. They need a plan to improve assets at all positions over the next 3 years.

So JR and PA remade the D… but their dice rolls at FWD have frittered away top 6 strength.
Dice rolls?
Miller over Horvat.
Keeping Petey.
Chytil for Miller.
Kane? We’ll see.
The negatives are starting to outweigh the positives.

Morning coffee musings 9/5:
Kravtsov played 44 NHL games in ‘22-23.
Scored 8 pts.
Will he play more or less than 44 this year?
And however many games he plays, will he score more or less than 8 pts?
Anyone looking forward to a Boeser-Petey-Kane line?

DeBrusk ready to cook.
Loves playing with Quinn.
Who wouldn’t?
Skills coach says EP’s flow is back.
O’Reilly to Canucks?
Demko’s knees key to Vezina?
Garland & Boeser career yrs?
Will be X and O changes.
More offense from defense.
Lace ‘em up.

Wow, quiet wedding!
But… congrats of course.
Everything about EP is quiet.
Does marrying online influencer settle things down for him?
Having a wife, healthy, bulking up… may be good.
Life does affect a player.
Vancouver time.

Bring back JC retros!!
Johnny Canuck has a Cup.
Kane ready to light up for Van.
Can he inspire DeBrusk sandpaper.
EP2 - it’s time!
Maybe Willander time.
If traded, better be good.
Not sure about Footie, but…
Can Kravtsov cut it?
Nice size and skill, but…

Bottom line: it’s dam* hard to rebuild your top 6 without cap space or having tradeable players coming off stellar years… especially in a year when the cap goes up so teams have money to re-sign who they want. Deflating. So hit repeat, with a not-Cup-ready team that has lots of questions to answer.
