N4ZZY Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 11 hours ago, VancouverHabitant said: This whole story is being pumped by Thomas Drance. He got a chance to ask a question to Jim Rutherford on what Jim will be doing and what Patrik will be doing. Rutherford said that he'll let Patrik do his own GM day to day stuff and that Rutherford will have lots of side projects like upgrades to some facilities (then he goes to list Rogers Arena, practice facility, Abbotsford, etc). Thomas Drance then spent all day exaggerating how bad our facilities are and how this is a key component of it all. Then later in the day they had a former player and asked him the question "Are new practice facilities a big factor in free agents choosing to sign with a new team?" and the player essentially said no, much to the host's surprise. I think players just want to go a place where they know they can win. But I think new facilities, and practice facilities, etc, etc., all have some sort of attraction to them. If those facilities and upgrades help give every inch to help players recoveries, growth in their games, relaxation, etc. All of those things, I’d like to believe do matter to some degree to them. If those things also help them win, then all the more they become even that much more important. Drance can come across as a dick sometimes, but I think the hate for him in this city can sometimes be overblown, much like this fan base (and this includes myself).

I mean, there’s a reason why beer is so damn expensive in Seattle’s arena. They have to pay for those new facilities somehow.

The former player just said that the facilities matter if they're in a really bad shape. As far as Drance, he really brings it on himself with the constant negativity and being Captain Hindsight.

If the facilities are aging, it definitely affects players wanting to come here. Who wants to play in aging, run down facilities? And what does it speak of ownership and their desire to win. Doesn’t say much, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mj2345 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Rogers Arena is now 27 years old(hard to believe) but it’s still a nice building…concourse is a bit small, just needs new Seats in the bowls and maybe railings going up the steps in each section(not too many arenas without as its standard for new Sports Buildings).
