I was hoping it would be Reimer. Stats wise he's worse than Skinner, but it would have been nice to see him haha

The Canucks are hiring a coach to babysit a player they just gave 56 million dollars to
What a gongshow of an organization

Vancouver could have been in a decent spot if they had traded him, such a terrible decision to re-sign him. They would've had extra picks/prospects, but most of all they'd have 8 million in cap and a lockeroom cancer far away from their team
They have completely screwed themselves longterm with this one. I don't know how you get out of it

They can still trade Miller to any team since his NMC doesn’t kick in until July 1st but I don’t know how many teams would want to risk it with that contract and the drama round him

But yeah, that division is truly awful. At least the first two playoff rounds should feature some barnburners lol

I have the same worries with Towes this year, adding a guy who needs to be top dog in the room 3/4 of the way through the year is a risk even if the on-ice play is fine. It’s one thing if it’s a Messier being that guy, but it hits completely differently when it’s your 5th or 6th best guy.
They have to lose the trade now.
A couple of Canuck fans who are buddies would love nothing more than to lose a Miller trade in order to keep Horvat.
With OEL and Myers being one of the worst pairings and both on bad contracts it is going to take a miracle to turn that ship around

There's only one thing that can potentially save them. It won't eliminate the bad contracts, but I think it'll be somewhat of a reset and finally inject some positivity into that organization.
They just need to keep losing and then pray to the lottery gods lmao
100%.
I actually wouldn't mind Bedard going to the Canucks. Good story for the NHL in general.

I'd hate to see him go to a team, that is so poorly run though. I don't hate the Canucks, and I'd like to see them do better, but they need new ownership first.

Totally forgot about Vegas somehow.. Thompson deserves the nod IMO

Yeah. It just seems like there are a lot of particularly bad teams this year, particularly in the Western Conference. Edmonton and Calgary both in wilcard spots, the Avalanche, Blues, and Predators all on the outside looking in, and a wack of rebuilding teams competing in the Bedard sweepstakes (Chi, Ari, SJ, Ana).

That’s fine worthy? And Nino’s hit on Kampf is nothing?
NHL is currying favours to Maurice after his whining to the media.

It's actually incredible that only 20-30 games into the season, the Ducks, Coyotes, Canucks, Hawks, and Sharks pretty much had zero shot left at making the playoffs or being competitive in any shape or form. So many tank teams in one conference. In the East only Columbus has truly been out of it from the beginning. For a while even the Habs were in it.

At this point I just laugh at how inconsistent Parros is with the decisions he makes.
The fact that Florida got 8 power plays last night after Maurice complained about them, you think it would have been the opposite effect and they would get 1 or 2 at the most.

Besides the game against the Panthers when the Leafs had 7 power plays, did Keefe's $25,000 fine get them any extra power plays after that happened?

I'd have to look into that... I'm just referring to the one Panthers game after his fine/comments.

I am completely disgusted by the Canucks treatment of Boudreau.
Not that I was ever going to cheer for them to do anything anyways, but I want that organization to go down the tubes at this point. What a revolting way to treat someone.

It's truly disgusting. Bruce is a good coach who has put in a lot of good years in this league, he deserves better than that shit stain of an organization.
