Assuming they could have made the same type of deal for Miller this goes down as one of the biggest mistakes in team history.

Leadership vacuum forced Hughes into a captaincy he doesn't seem to have wanted, and lacked the personality for, couldn't do anything about Petey v Miller.

Ironically they're doing what he's been begging them to do for years, trading players for picks and giving up on the season.

Drance is rarely right and always condescending in his unearned confidence.

Yup. Enjoy, he's amazing.

He'll run to the Devils next year.

Took the C with zero intention to stay, locker room issues while he was captain, ran away the moment things got tough.

Great player, not a leader.

Just don't expect leadership or resiliency
December 15, 2025 at 5:25 AM
Seriously, so Rutherford can make deals and Aqua can force a signing (Kane)? Is Alvin the least powerful GM in history?

Trading him is the right move given he wanted to bail.

But mgmt can also be blamed for creating the atmosphere where a fake captain finally had to admit it was too hard and not fun enough to stay.
December 14, 2025 at 2:27 PM
Mgmt shares plenty of blame, but locker room issues are a poor excuse given that he was in that locker room and supposed to be the leader of it.
December 14, 2025 at 2:13 PM
He made it clear to mgmt he wasn't re-signing not long after they gave him the C and signed all his buds and his chosen coach.

Worse betrayal than Bure. Absolute middle finger to the fan base. His parting words are empty nonsense and I'll be cheering against him.

Played hard for this team and told them he had intention of re-signing with 2 years left, should have never taken the C.
December 14, 2025 at 4:12 AM
And the fake captain just flipped her the bird.

I've never been more bitter at a player for bailing.
December 14, 2025 at 2:28 AM
Can't blame him?!

He was the F-ing captain and the moment the going got tough he bailed.

Proof the C was never because he's a leader, it was one of many incentives to get him to stay, all of which he threw the middle finger to this week, along with Canuck fans.

I'll never forgive Hughes.

It's all been pathetic this year
December 14, 2025 at 2:23 AM
💯, there is no captain on this team.

Another massive failing of this mgmt group.

I'll be wearing my Horvat down hill skate jersey exclusively from now on

And all 3 have their best years behind them.

Asking the guy who signed Evander Kane about culture 🤣🤣

I have to sadly agree. The inability to make significant improvements over the summer was a huge fail. Evander Kane?! WTF?!
December 13, 2025 at 2:05 AM
And if not for his dumb comment post trade he'd be remembered as a Canuck great
December 10, 2025 at 8:01 PM
Who'd have guessed this many years later he'd be the most productive of him, Miller and Petey...
