[Report] Canucks name Patrik Allvin as GM
Locke Lamora replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Safe, boring pick by Rutherford. -
Ugh, Patterson. Gave his podcast a try during my run today. I quit listening to it just because the negativity had become toxic, even for his standards. I figured, heck, the narrative around the team has improved immensely since I listened to it. And I swear the guy’s brain must be genetically wired to seek out ANY negative things around the team, because listening today you’d never guess this was a 10-3 team in it’s last 13 (or whatever the exact record is). Between J-Pat, Drance and Sekeres it’s tough slogging in the local market.

[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Seattle Kraken | Jan. 01, 2022

Not gonna lie, there is just the slightest temptation to name some folks on the board who were open to the idea of trading Quinn Hughes. But I’m going to take the high road tonight. -
The humour is appreciated because at this point, as a hockey fan who cherishes the games over the holidays (both nhl and world juniors), this is a very sad time.

Alf, I’ve kind of come around to the idea that you are a bit of a treasure, but this aspect of your fandom has always been rather unfortunate in my opinion and can overshadow the fact that you actually know a fair bit about hockey. On another subject….I was looking at the team stats for the Red Wings today. Imagine being Wings fan stuck with Zadina (10 points, -9) knowing that Quinn Hughes was RIGHT THERE for you to pick.

Not really seeing a transferable NHL skill in young Zlodeyev thus far. But hopefully they will materialize over the course of the tourney.

This is why, or partially why, I’ve been lukewarm on Rutherford. Talks an ok game ( ok, compared to Jimbo he’s a Master Communicator), but he’s a man of yesteryear. This isn’t me being ageist…I’m no spring chicken myself. His moves thus far, while its still early I’ll grant you, show a distinct lack of creativity and vision….and bringing in more ex Penguins will only cement my opinion of him in this regard.

Had a bit of time to kill before heading out for a few last minute Christmas errands…and yeah, didn’t take long to find some truly mindblowing threads in the Trade Proposal section. Someone floated the idea of trading Quinn for a package including PK Subban and Ty Smith. Ty Smith with his 8 points and -12 this year. I’m not out to embarrass anyone so I’ll not mention those that were seemingly fine to trade away the best defenseman, by far, we’ve ever had.

Ah, former member of the Trade Quinn brigade perhaps?

And quite a few folks around here floated the idea of trading him, lol.

I’m fine with a pause in the season. Hopefully we get through this, get our full line up back and continue our streak of wins. I desperately want this team to make the playoffs, not only because they are my team, win or lose, but also so that the Vancouver media jackals that wrote them off have to choke on the fact that they were wrong.
