We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Where are you getting this Tocchet to the Flyers rumor from? Eklund?
Soucy a healthy scratch for NYR today.
No it was on TSN and Real Kyper and Bourne. Not sure about Spittin Chicklets.
If Eklund did post something all he does is repeat what somebody else has already stated.
Rumors or talk about the Penquins as well.
There’s nothing to be found when you google “Rick Tocchet to the flyers rumor”, surely if it was a serious rumor as you claim there would be some articles written about it?
Halford & Brough asked Seravalli about Tocchet to the Flyers and his response is that the Flyers aren’t firing Tortorella nor will they move him to the front office.
There’s very little substance to this rumour and is on par with Pettersson going to the Blackhawks to play with Nylander.

theguardianII believing this and taking a victory lap is hilarious.
vector didn't transcribe it, but apparently Elliot Friedman said this the other day?
"I think Hughes really backed Pettersson...He knew the fanbase was split on this but he felt very strongly that EP could still have a big impact for them. He believed this was a move they had to make. He believed in the long run every1 would be better off."
Hughes is a bright guy and him taking a longer term views on player personnel is probably encouraging for his long term investment in being a Canuck. Says a lot about his opinions about Miller, who apparently thought his continued presence was a detriment.

Also keeping Petey is a step to keep Hughes
Ah, and keeping Hughes is a step towards the cup
Okay now I’m starting to get it! I’m excited
Miller hasn't exactly been complimentary of the Canucks since arriving back in Manhattan. He's basically saying it's 'good to be enjoying playing hockey again'.
I'm beginning to wonder how long it'll be before the Rangers room is as dysfunctional as it was in Vancouver earlier this season?
The Canucks did OK. They got Chytil and Mancini, who looks like a serviceable young d-man. And they flipped the first rounder to the Pens to get Marcus Pettersson and O'Connor--and have re-signed them both.
And basically dumped more than $12m in contracts for Miller, Desharnais, Heinen and Brannstrom. And all it really cost them were a couple of B-C level prospects in Dorrington and Fernstrom.
Given that there were only a couple of teams Miller was even willing to be traded to--hard to argue with what they got.

Likewise, Petey!
Let’s hope for a Pettersson goal tonight and extend the goal streak, why not!
Cheers
Was hoping after the Blackout that the season so far turned out like this:
Okay, so no Junior tonight, which is too bad but fine. Mancini looked good and deserved another game. And of course Willander joins this group soon.
It's hard to ease 3 rookies into a blueline even though the contract structure of our Dee work well for easing these guys in over the length of Myers' contract. But we do need a long term top 6 center, so should we be shopping one of DPetey, Mancini or Willander for a similar age, similar upside C player/prospect?
Willander probably still has the most trade value, but I'm not willing to move his upside. He's still untouchable for me.
This makes Mancini less valuable as a short term piece, as we will be trying to develop 2 RH rookies at the same time (if Willander walks in and is clearly too good f0r the AHL). But he's likely got the least amount of trade value.
Junior brings a physical play we don’t have enough of. Slots in nicely behind Hughes and MP3, and complements their games perfectly. But his introduction to the league has probably spiked his trade value, and we do have KK and Mynio...3LD is pretty well insulated behind QH/MP so maybe EP25 makes the most sense.
Sure, we can keep all 3 and that's fine. But what are some realistic targets using 1 of these dmen?
