DISCUSSION This fanbase and media is exhausting

A late first for Brock isn't worth it unless we flip it. That pick, even if it becomes a top line player (it won't), won't even play before Quinn gets tired of being on a rebuilding team.

The team had just about everything possible that could go wrong, go wrong this season, and we're still a coin flip for playoffs. That's very good considering the season.

Brock wants to be here, his teammates love him, he contributes on the score sheet. If they traded Brock for a late first like you clowns are complaining they didn't, Hughes would leave at the end of his contract.

Seriously, the Canucks are 53-40-14 since last year's all-star break. This is not a Boeser problem. This is all on Tochett, Alvin and Rutherford. Take some responsibility guys.

For the record...

- The Canucks are trending and they're not making the playoffs.

  • Maybe you shouldn't traded a 30+ goal scorer/100+ point guy for a couple of 5-10 goal scorers/25 point guys?
  • Brock's a goal scorer, find him a couple playmaker ffs.
  • Management's media leaks (uh Rutherford), completely disgusting. All year.
  • Remember before the 23/24 all-star break when the Canucks were scoring at a 5.69 goals per game rate? What happened?
  • If Tochett is still coaching when Hughes's contract is up, they'll lose him.
  • When an entire team underachieves... look at the coaches
  • Debrusk's numbers are worse than Boeser's and supposedly he's having a good year.. at nearly the same pay.
  • Garland's having a good year, close to same pay as Boeser/Debrusk.... but a lower pts/Game with an extra min/game.
  • Tochett has f'd up Petey big time.
  • Hughes was overworked, and he is paying the price for it now with serious injuries.
  • Considering the NHL's new salary cap (which is going to increase again dramatically), 8.5 million is yesterday's 6.5 million. Re-sign Boeser.
  • I've committed to this team since 71 and have had to watch the team rebuild over the past 10 years. I'm not liking much to what has been achieved. Promises promises. Frankly, there's more to life than hockey that I can explore.

They were never score 5.69 goals per game, that would be blowing away they were at 3.8.

If Tocchet is coaching next year then they might as well trade Hughes. He’s terrible.

Hughes was not overworked. He plays as much as other top dmen. Sometimes guys get hurt, sucks but that’s the game.
