I think the initial whispers after having Z on the team for about 3 weeks were that his desired $ and term for an extension was of no interest to the Canucks (shocker, I know!) which people may have assumed that meant that they had issues, but I think it was more about not wanting him on his terms, similar to the Flames balking and ultimately shipping him out for assets.
Things change fast though and maybe Canucks have come around to his ask or maybe Big Z got a taste of the Arbutus Club and will take a pay cut just to have access to it!
