IIRC, he went on some spiel about how he doesn't like Vancouverites because they're all rich and arrogant, while he's a jeans-wearing blue collar worker from oil country or whatever.

Personally, I could care less about his hockey takes but he just comes off as a total f***ing dweeb.

He projects a lot of manliness with his high pitched, whiny voice. A ton of manliness. Just so much manliness.

I can see a previous Canucks GM make that trade and proudly declare it a win as Jiricek is further along in his development because he has played Nhl games.
Willander would then immediately make the NHL following college season ending, be point per game, and win the Calder next year.

Also People are mad at Seravalli because he wasn't just content to eat his own feelings but other people's feelings as well.

As Canuck fans would you consider a Jiricek and Johnson trade for Lekkerimaki and Willander? Bring home a local boy with tons of skill and a Big RHD who can step in the lineup quicker?
I’d go no. Probably easier to say no when you see some warts in prospects when they transition to the next level from ncaa/Europe to ahl/NHL. Plus our guys are on elc.

Something isn’t right with jiricek situation. Should have been an easy decision to send him back to the AHL last season but wasn’t done. Something was up with that. Not sure I want to bring that in.

I was going to say, that would be about the most Benning move I could imagine.

It is totally my fault for blueballsing myself with the stupid Reddit rumour. I want to find out where that guy lives and have a nice productive chat with him.

i mean when you consider how easy it is for some random canuck fan on reddit to decide to be a troll, you're much better off assuming any "rumour" posted is BS. The Lindholm deal was the outlier.

I want us to make a splash. Get Josi or something. Or Crosby. We need to make full use of Quinn Hughes and his play. The chances of us getting another player like him are so slim.
