End of Season Media Availability - Management ( 10 PST)

[Attack Vector]

Absolutely loving this conference lol

It's always a party when Rutherford is pissed

 

[Canucks LB]

Just keep asking Rutherford questions. He’s the best when it comes to answering, doesn’t sugarcoat anything

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He’s getting traded this off-season 100%

I'd be inclined to agree that the Canucks may decide to move on if this stalemate continues to drag out.

Canucks probably feel a bit emboldened by the progression of D-Petey and Mancini. Willander may be looking at the Canucks' d-corps and wondering where he fits. (if he was smart, he'd realize he'd fit in immediately).

Rutherford said it again that free agency isn't going to cut it for a top 2 center, it has to be a trade and then stopped himself from going further.

Willander is definitely be dangled for that piece.

 

[DFAC]

Bye Tom - was nice knowing ya.

Probably will get traded for Laf

 

[Canucks LB]

I am thoroughly impressed with this press conference and that’s because Rutherford was there, I’m really happy he was there, I’m satisfied ready to move on

 

[Attack Vector]

Bye Tom - was nice knowing ya.

Probably will get traded for Laf

Laf isn't a center, is terrible at face-offs and has no speed.

Yeah Willander is gone

Allvin is not good at speaking eh

 

[Canucks LB]

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Rutherford dropping a Gary Roberts reference, who he traded for in *1997*. God he's old.

Also seemed to indicate he's thinking about offer sheets.

 

[Canucks LB]

“ it will be expensive and we will do whatever it takes to get a centre”

When I asked about trading top prospects and a first.

As expected

 

[Canucks LB]

I said this before, I’ll save say it again, I f***ing love this honesty

 

[credulous]

willander wanted to turn pro last offseason and the canucks showed only mild interest in signing him for whatever reason. i don't believe at all that willander wants to return for his junior year. this is all about the contract

 

[Attack Vector]

Allvin: Petey and Chytil simping

Rutherford: f*** off, we need an actual top 2 center.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Jeeeeeeez, Jim, that sounds awfully close to tampering.

EDIT: Clarifying - question was about Quinn Hughes being a UFA soon. Rutherford, paraphrasing said "we can prepare for the cap space, that's in our control, but he's said that he wants to play with his brothers. That's out of our control, unless we bring his brothers here. Then it's in our control".

 

[Canucks LB]

Hahahahha jim

 

[BoHorvat 53]

I really hope they don't trade Pettersson, we're going to get pennies on the dollar and our window will certainly slam shut. We need Petey to bounce back in order for a window to open for this team

 

[dez]

You can't say that Jim!!! OMG

 

[Canucks LB]

That ending was amazing

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

They didn't just abort the stream after that answer, did they?!

 

[Attack Vector]

Rutherford just said Hughes wants to play with his brothers so either he goes and plays with them or they bring his brothers here. NJ has the upperhand in this situation though.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

The team seems destined to dig further and double down on mortgaging all its prospects and futures to get a playoff team for the next two years. Reality is that maybe they should just trade Hughes and Pettersson and rebuild.

 

[LemonSauceD]

LOL JR

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Allvin is not good at speaking eh

Seriously. I remember a few summers back he was being grilled about whether or not the Canucks could improve due to limited cap space and he dropped a "well, the Tampa Bay Lightning are tight to the cap every year". Moronic, Jim Benning-level quote (to be clear - Allvin is a much sharper guy than Benning).
