Class individuals leaving with class and dignity. They both gave me some quality rage episodes over the years as I yelled every swear word conceivable at the tv as they played around our defence.
I feel bad for Jim Hughson. First Roberto "Glove Save" Luongo is traded, now "Henrik to Daniel, Daniel back to Henrik" Sedins are retiring... He can't make his most favorite calls anymore.

But he will still have his #1 fav "slappass"

A lot of the jokes made earlier in their careers didn't age well. Proved to be great players and even better people. They should exit with heads held high.

The Sedins were a treat to watch and are great people who I hope truly enjoy retirement.
The Canucks are gonna be fun to watch next year for all the wrong reasons. Unless they bring back Vanek, I'm really not sure who's gonna bring any sort of scoring past their 1-2 punch of Boeser and Horvat. Sam freaking Gagner?

Canucks have 20 Mil to sign Virtanen, Sven and _______?
This is a very bad thing...
... Tavares?
Yeah, no.
Honestly, Jim Benning with money to burn is a bad thing for the Canucks, not anyone else. He doesn't have a great track record with that sort of thing. If they were at all smart they'd use the cap space to take on other peoples' problems in exchange for draft picks and prospects while continuing to rebuild, while icing a team that contains mostly RFA deals and reclamation projects next year. They'll have Boeser and Elias Petterson and Gaudette and maybe whoever they pick this year, so they can sell fans on the future, and they're not going to win short term no matter what they do so anything else would be a waste of money and cap.
... Like I said, if they were at all smart. So no need to worry.

Burke did well to maneuver the organization into getting the twins. They didn't bring a cup to Vancouver but came close. I didn't like some of their embellishment antics at times but for the most part they were classy guys and good ambassadors for the league. Will be interesting to see how that organization transitions as they probably can offer Tavares a contract that nobody can match in dollar amount (Islanders can offer one more year I guess). Could also overpay guys like Kane if they are so inclined.
