History has shown that what a Canucks player, coach or GM wants is immaterial to what ownership ultimately decides on.Why it happens every trade deadline?
it was on sound logic. Boeser was hurt Leivo was out for the season. That was RW1 and RW2 in the stretch leading to the decision. Just because Covid and a foot injury derailed what he should have accomplished is not a reason to say. Boy was that ridiculous for 10 games.
The logic behind not re signing when he showed a desire to sign in Van and the results of how they used the cap space last summer is the issue. Have to take into account that the deal Montreal got wasn't the 5-5.5 x 5 that they wanted from Vancouver either and coming off 18goals there was thoughts Virtanen could emerge as a bigger piece and they could use the 2-3 million elsewhere on the roster. Obviously all that turned to stone and the difference between those 2 players couldn't have been bigger considering Jake was a joke and Tyler had a career year scoring goals.
I refuse to believe a real hockey exec would have let their best defender and mentor walk to the next province/state.
