They are in the process of adding one so you’re a bit wrong there. It just shouldn’t have taken this long.

Change that 3rd to a first and MAYBE the Ducks don't hang up on you.

No it doesn't as it doesn't come from the same funding. At all,,,

Stating facts. I'm not going to condemn a guy for making good money playing a game.

If he's cleared I'd like Van to swoop in and sign him to a 1 year deal at least.

He's playing hockey, not joining the Red Army.

Technically he's going to an ally of a country at war, Belarus.

If it's going to be available for public use that is a valid discussion if it is 100% team controlled and operated then it should be 100% Francesco. As for the Virtue Signalling for homeless etc. those funds have nothing to do with entertainment/athletic development so it is basically a moot point to bring up as it has nothing to do with this situation.

Nobody is saying publicly fund it.

If San Jose can afford to own and operate 11 rinks including a dedicated practice facility, Vancouver can afford their own practice rink.

You do realize they need to practice at the start of the season correct? I said nothing about offseason so I'm not sure why you bring that up, I'm well aware they can't make players practice in the offseason per the CBA. I completely disagree it is not a major issue, that is laughable.

You're kidding right? This team is notorious for slow starts, you don't think that a dedicated practice facility would play any part in mitigating a huge issue the team has had for literal years? The only other team that doesn't have a dedicated practice facility is Arizona, is that really company you want to keep? The San Jose Sharks not only own a practice facility, they also own 10 other rinks for grass roots use. You're telling me the Canucks can't even justify owning one rink? Please.

That's fair, but some people would rather make 950k+

Literally right there.

Other teams have team owned and operated practice facilities it's more than about time we get to an NHL standard in that regard.

If he's signing there likely there were slim options.

In before Heffy calls him subhuman trash for signing in the KHL

I was good up to 8 provided that Miller/OEL and Myers were moved out but even 8 was about 500k from ideal

It's not arguable that outside of a small sample size Bo is the massively better player. And it's not even close.

They're practicing not there for a night out...

I like the chemistry factor and have zero issue with Hyman on the team but maybe utilize him with McDavid on the PP and play him in the bottom 6 though.

This practice facility should have been dealt with decades ago, there’s a few ownership groups to blame for this and it needs to be a priority yesterday.

He was serviceable as a player for a few years, Yakupov was a complete dud.

Daigle unfortunately couldn't check his ego, talented player. Got in his own way a lot though.

This feels like the Travis Green re-sign. I think he gets fired in 2 years, 2 1/2 max.
