I feel that Miller and Pettersson's behaviour effectively closed our competitive window with this group. I'm up for major surgery on the forward corps.

It upsets me that they are even entertaining re-signing Boeser. They HAVE to trade him to have any hope of being competitive moving forward. He is not what they need in the top 6. They need speed and forechecking ability with top 6 skill.
The boat has sailed on Pettersson. I wanted him traded before he was signed. Now they have no choice to try and rehab him first into a marketable product.

I would do a Brock Star 75% retained + Hoglander for Easton Cowan and Pontus Holmberg

I'm at the point where it doesn't really make a difference where we go with Boeser.
You keep him and you maybe expect him to fall off in his early 30's but it really won't matter because it's very likely this franchise will be in the middle of a rebuild.
You trade him and then plug the holes in the top 6 with quantity rather than quality (ie. R. Smith, Nyquist). who may struggle to be .5 PPG players.

The next seven days are going to be pure chaos and I cannot wait for the action to start, probably tonight.
100% multiple trades are going down before the weekend is over.

It's unbelievable that we're here staring a complete implosion in the face after what was accomplished last season. We've all seen seasons that go badly for good teams, but I can't recall one being cooked by your the best players themselves and career ending injuries to your fantastic goalie.

Rick Dhaliwal's interview with Halford & Brough.
Elias Pettersson, Forward
- Last time he had more than 1 shot in a game was over a month ago
- Struggling offensively so not getting offensive zone starts
- Have tried to fix Pettersson; probably sat him down 100 times and talked to him
- Looking for a #2 centre
- So many things up in the air
- All their UFAs, and Carson Soucy, could be in play
- Don’t know if the Canucks will sell or buy
- No progress in contract talks; don’t expect any movement with him
- Next contract is in the 3m plus range
- The two sides are talking, however
- Can’t report progress but also isn’t going sideways
- Canucks don’t want to do 7-8 years but are willing to do 5-6 years
- Was told there’s a long-term deal that both sides will be happy with; wonders if that’s at 6 years
- Concerns with his skating in the latter years of his next contract
- Has heard that Boeser feels disrespected at times; Allvin always gives him backhanded compliments
- Has heard about teams interested in Boeser if he becomes a UFA
- One team told him that the trade market is very quiet because prices are very high
- Signed him in 12 hours after re-starting talks
- First offer was 3.9m in January
- Was on the ice multiple times this week
- Wouldn’t be surprising if he was back next week
- Had been dealing with a nagging injury
- Will have surgery soon and most likely he’s out for the season
- With Willander and Mancini, the Canucks right side is getting crowded
- Canuck fans need to be classier; shouldn’t rip him apart on the day he finds out he’s out for the season
- Coaching staff and teammates love him
- Last time he was a UFA he told his agent to only sign in Vancouver; had 6-7 teams calling him
- Canucks might extend him if they don’t trade him
- Love his size and PK ability
- On the trade block but he doesn’t want to be traded
- Every defenceman in Abbotsford is either a UFA or RFA (Kudryavtsev is signed for the next two seasons and Sawyer Mynio will come to the AHL once his season is done so there’s two projected defencemen under contract for next season)

Trade Market
- Teams are waiting on clarity on Mikko Rantanen and Brock Nelson
- Islanders will only add if they think they can win; difficult to predict what they’ll do; teams think Nelson will be available
- Jake Evans, Yanni Gourde, and Scott Laughton are available
- Blues will trade Brayden Schenn if a team meets their demands; thinks Maple Leafs really want him
- Teams want Easton Cowan, Fraser Minten, Ben Danford, and 2026 1st rounder from the Maple Leafs
- A lot of the rental players have a similar price with Laughton being a bit higher because he’s not a rental
- Mentions Nick Bjugstad and Luke Kunin
- Teams like Tommy Novak and were disappointed he wasn’t made available before signing his contract; his name is out there
- Doesn’t know how much interest there would be in Alexandar Georgiev
- Doesn’t think the negotiations are over and Boeser wants to stay
- When a team starts at 5 years, it says that they won’t go to 7 or 8 but could go to 6
- His current AAV is 6.65m and on a 5-6 year deal he would get a raise but not outrageously more; not going from 6.65m to 10m
- Comes down to how you structure the deal

IMO $8M x 6 after what Boeser has provided this year is insane.
That's a few times now that we have heard about some level of disrespect from management by players. Horvat, Zadorov and now Boeser. We have all heard the disrespect in the news about Bruce and being critical of Pettersson very openly(warranted). I don't mind them not just laying over like JB did all the time but patterns.
Washington Capitals
- Looking to acquire depth players at forward and defence
- Veteran players that player a two-way game
- Mentions Jake Evans and Joel Armia
- If someone meets the asking price, will trade Scott Laughton and Rasmus Ristolainen
- More teams interested in Laughton than Ristolainen
- Senators, Maple Leafs, and Devils are some of the teams that have expressed interest in Laughtong; Flyers are asking for a 1st round draft pick or an equivalent prospect
- Looking for a depth centre; mentions Yanni Gourde
- Would like to add another defenceman
- Brayden Schenn is on their radar; don’t want to give up their 2026 1st
- If they trade any of their top prospects, it will be for a player with term
- Everything is possible with the Canucks
- Are still far apart in Boeser negotiations with respect to term
- Don’t see a pathway to an extension before the deadline

Diamond in the rough
Be prepared for a lot of insane contracts over the next 4 months. I actually think 8 x 6 is fine, there aren't a ton of top 6 options out there but we definitely need the other top 6 forwards to bring a different element to the mix.

Miller was Kesler all over again
You can’t get a franking return when he says he’ll only accept one team
Colorado would probably win the cup and Mackinnon would tel Miller to Shut the Frank up

I'm 100% convinced B Schenn or both Schenns will end up in Toronto by end of day next Friday.
Brock Boeser
- Would be amenable to a slightly shorter contract if the AAV is larger
- Canucks are firm on their desire for a 4-5 year contract
- One source said “He’ll have his pick of destinations in the summerif he gets there,”
- Ownership greatly values playoff revenue so the Canucks may keep him past the TDL
- Compares his trade value to Jake Guentzel’s last season but slightlyless
- Kings, Devils, and Senators are linked to him
- Wouldn’t be surprising if the Wild try to acquire him
- Canucks sent a fax to 31 teams telling them that Soucy is available
- Should be a market for him since he is signed for next season
- Both Canucks and Soucy’s representatives have been working hard to find a trade but haven’t gained any traction
- Flames make sense; suggests a player-for-player swap
- Still an appetite to acquire him around the league
- One source said “This would be the worst time to try and get value for him.”
- Says the best and current course is to hold on to him and if he can’t turn his season around, his name will pop up in trade talks around the draft
Pius Suter would gather some decent assets to a contender like Washington. We should do it if they’ll cough up something like a 2nd+.

Confirmed: JR has banned everyone in the Canucks organization from using a fancy new computer thingy or a cellular device.
From 2nd round game 7 loss to who the heck knows what's gonna happen next. Impressive.
When I lived in Japan, I had to use a fax machine. I was furious. This was 2011 and I lived in the most advanced country on the planet. My stupid-ass employer forced us to fax everything.
