Horvat is not the 'emotional' / heart of the Canucks.

He's consistent defensively (that much is true) - but otherwise Galley is reaching and doesn't watch this team enough.  Thats too cliche.

3 minutes ago, WHL rocks said:

Actually it was Pat who called the negotiations off. Called Gretzky middle of night woke him up told him they were pulling the offer..

 

Reason was Quinn thought Gretzky was just using Vancouver offer as leverage to get a better deal with the Rangers..

Not quite how it was:

 

Quote

“The Canucks had (Gretzky) signed at night verbally, and he (told Quinn), ‘Look. I’ll sign the papers formally in the morning,’ Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman told Sportsnet 590 The Fan’s Brady & Walker, Friday.

“[Then Orca Bay CEO Stan McCammon] got on the phone to Quinn (Vancouver’s president and GM) and said, ‘We want this done tonight.’ “

Quinn told McCammon that Gretzky was committed and not to worry.

“No, no, no. We’re doing this tonight. I want it formalized. No questions,” McCammon instructed Quinn.

Quinn called Gretzky back and asked him to sign the papers that night.

Gretzky replied with: “I told you I’d sign them the morning.”

“Nope,” Quinn said. “I need to have it tonight.”

The whole deal blew up over that, Friedman explained.
