And Canucks ownership paid him more then Boudreau.
It also doesn't sound like Canucks shopped around, but had their eyes on him for whatever reason and had him already selected weeks ahead.
Who the heck goes and says: "Hey you know what our team need to win and put us to the top? No no not the 1000 game and plus .600 percentage guy we already have that is a fan favourite. That guy Rick Tocchet who had a gambling ring. And let's sign him for 2.5 years"
Jim Rutherford.

You're using the logic of someone who believes the Canoooks are trying to win games.
