    108 point pace over 81 games for Tocchet. Alain Vigneault achieved almost the same his first season, and it took 4 more to hit that amazing 117 points. This says alot about how well Tocchet is doing especially considering he came in during a season, not from the start as Alain did.

    Any guy that still wears his top like he’s Tony Montana probably shouldn’t own a hockey team. Nonetheless, hiring Rutherford and trying his best to get the hell out of his own way was smart. Just take the income, pay the bills and keep the lights on. Every owner who’s too hands on turns franchises back years. Do your job. Own. Don’t try to manage. Don’t try to coach. Just own

      Myer’s $6 million is coming off this offseason plus another $4 million cap increase. Canucks are going to need to resign Petey, Joshua, Hronek, Lafferty, DeSmith, and Zadorov. I assume the ones that will be let go are Myers, Cole, Friedman, and Blueger. Kuzmenko might be traded for extra cap space

      He works for the Canucks in name only. Look at it as the one who manages the general business of the Canucks as a company, under Aqua's ownership, he deals with staff, objectives and such, then there's PA who deals with the business of the Canucks as a team, managing players, contracts and such.

  • @christhornycroft3686
    @christhornycroft3686 5 місяців тому +8

    He's earned it, so far. My only concern is that they're running a 39 goal scorer into the ground. Sure, he overachieved, but now that he's had his confidence destroyed, he's making even more mistakes. For all the success the team is having, they now have a near-$5 million anchor that they can't move because they've destroyed his trade value. I know they're technically in 1st place, but I've seen this before. I don't want a President's Trophy. That's as irrelevant as the Campbell Bowl. There's only one team award that matters. Great improvements, but I'm not easing up on my criticism until I see what the team can do in the playoffs.
