Their own fans will just destroy the downtown. Vancouver doesn't deserve nice things.

We didn't even make it to the third round. How was that team, including the first line who went missing in the second round, a true contender?

Sounds like the Canucks will sign Kuzmenko to an extension. 6+ million

Hes been so good too, people were worried he might be a perimeter player, but hes very solid on the boards and net front

In a vacuum it's a solid singing if its at that number, and its dhaliwhal who is usually very reputable

But it's also a bit of, what are we doing

Hes 27 in 3 weeks, and hes a winger

Kuzmenko, boeser, miller, mikayhev, garland

Those are all good players, and at least right now arent contract anchors

But they are scoring wingers and the nhl just doesnt really value them right now

It's like we are an nfl team and we are stacking running backs at 40% of our cap

Lots of moving parts around the Canucks going into the weekend. It’s believed the Boudreau watch is about to come to a head. As for Horvat, there’s no question trade talks have elevated.

Trading Horvat, while seeming unpalatable, is the right idea.

Firing Boudreau, while seeming unpalatable, is the right idea.

Hiring Tocchet, while seeming unpalatable, is actually unpalatable and a colossal mistake that makes getting the first two right absolutely meaningless.

Boudreau deserves a lot better than what the Canucks are putting him through. Disgraceful way to run a team. The organization is a tire fire.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why the team is making such a likable, lovable guy twist in the wind in a market with media as awful and blood thirsty as Vancouver.


I can't. I have no answer or excuse for it. I agree with the team that in the end, he isn't the right fit but how this has been handled by Allvin and Rutherford is cruel and inexplicable.

Yup. I'd revise it to "Everyone deserves..." to emphasize that how Rutherford is treating Boudreau, nobody deserves. Complete dick move.

What do fans generally think? Like the super volatile fans? Do they like Bruce and hate this treatment?

I have not seen anyone saying that this is cool. Either online, in media or just through random chatter. No one seems to be on board with this treatment. Yes to moving on, no to how it's happening seems to be a majority opinion.

What a disgraceful way to treat him.

Jim Rutherford is trash, if you don't want him fire the guy instead of sending of embarrassing him on his way out.
