Well they definitely became more European, and have the market on Petterssons. It will be interesting now to see if Calgary makes a move for defense, to compete.

Vancouver is going to be changing their name soon to the Petterssons

That seems like an overpay for Petterson, maybe I've got the wrong impression of him. Always seemed like a fringe #4 better suited to the third pair to me.

I know when I go to the Jets game here in Vancouver the old timers always tell me how they like the Jets and say the Canucks will never win because they have too many Swedes.

Best piece was the 1st which they already flipped for Pettersson.

Canucks have had some good ones over the years. Matthias Ohlund was probably my favourite. And it definitely seems to be a strategy of theirs to add more, through the draft, and now through trades.

I just find it odd that you have a coach like Tocchet who likes gritty hockey, and the Canucks aren't really built to be gritty, less so after these trades too. Seems like sooner or later it will come to be a problem.

Maybe its time for the western teams to tell Toronto to stick their special treatment up their azz.
Connor McDavid on Leafs visiting Edmonton: "We get the 5 o’clock start time ... They come into our building & we got to change our schedule around, but it is what it is"

It's not going to change. Rogers owns Leafs. Rogers owns HNIC. #1 target audience is GTA. Same thing happens when they play Vancouver.

I just hope to God the Jets playoff schedule doesn't fall on the same days as the Leafs, or all the starts will be 8:30/9pm. Unless it's an afternoon weekend game.

It’s just business.

Odd day for Vancouver. I think we found with PLD that even though he was a valuable asset (2 centre), him not wanting to be here trumped all. JT Miller at his best is heavy nasty 100 point centre and you can’t replace that. Last year they were up 3-2 against Edmonton and almost went to the West final. Fast forward until today and losing guys like Miller and Zdarov have taken most of the toughness out of that line up.

I feel like they took a big step back yesterday but what can you do I guess. When ever I see these fire sales it makes me respect what Chevy has pulled off with a gun to his head even more.

We haven't had much success in the playoffs YET but it looks like we are going to make the playoffs for the 12th time in 14 years being back in Winnipeg. Considering the constraints Chevy is under just being in Winnipeg i think that's a pretty decent record.

My Swedish Grandfather would have disagreed...

 

[kanadalainen]

The best thing to happen to Vancouver is de-JTMillerizing themselves. A more disagreeable walking homunculus on skates is difficult to fathom.

U know you're a bad gm when you're losing trades to Kyle Dubas.

I still want to see which pick turns out lower after this trade, Vancouver's or Rangers. Rangers protected themselves with top 13, because if they get to that point Uncle Gary can put the weighted ball in to help them get Hagens.

I love the 8:30-9PM Games so long as they're thursday,friday or saturday lol. definitely sucks during any other day!

More time for a a pregame and hyping up the crowd!

Miller pays dividends right away for the Rangers

I disagree. I think they offloaded a malcontent without retaining any salary, and they got Chytil back, whom I do wonder if there will be the Kakko effect whereby he produces better. If you listen to Boudreau's comments about Miller it is clear that he can be an issue and I think they made the right choice. I think clearing the locker room drama issue is a win for VAN; plus they were able to pick up Marcus Peterson while dumping Henien and Deharnais.

Yup

Possible addition by subtraction

Things certainly turned around here once PLD and Wheeler left (of course the haul from thr PLD trade helped)

After the playoff loss in spring 2023, there was a ton of talk about the toxic nature of the locker room. Now we hear the exact opposite

they traded a 100 point center for a 3rd line center with injury issues what could be a late 1st and a prospect, I didn't think they would get what miller is worth but that is not a return anyone should say is "sneaky good"

PA prez Marty Walsh thinks the 4 Nations will have the intensity of the SC playoffs, what else would he say, he is dead wrong

 

[bustamente]

Miller scores again for the Rangers they have two goals but are still behind the Bruins early in the third. Also I don't want to hear Igor and Helle spoken in the same sentence
