Patrik Allvin Press Conference | 3pm | Sportsnet

[Curm]

Announcing a Juulsen extension yet?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

He keeps praising the coach, like, more than anything. Not sure what to think of it.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

He keeps praising the coach, like, more than anything. Not sure what to think of it.

Pumping up his value around the league to get a free 2nd rounder after they bring him back and fire him next year.

 

[ephmrl]

Allvin said salary retention on JT was never discussed

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Allvin going to let everyone know that every 1 out of 2 players acquired from now on must be name Pettersson.

Interesting that he mentioned Kudryavtsev along with Willander as prospects other teams were asking for.

I can understand Kud.

Personally think they should cash in while they can.

 

[xtr3m]

Allvin said salary retention on JT was never discussed

Didn’t one of the league insid0rs say the retention was the sticking point?..

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Didn’t one of the league insid0rs say the retention was the sticking point?..

Others were saying it was the conditions on the pick.

 

[Nuckles]

D-Petey being denied the AHL all-star game to be healthy scratched again

 

[Curm]

Others were saying it was the conditions on the pick.

Others said it was conditions on the pick and retention!

 

[krutovsdonut]

-hasn't talked to mp's agent but they have texted. extending is a priority.

-there was never retention discussed on jt miller

-jt miller never requested a trade.

-continue to evaluate boeser

-ep40 comments early and at the end are worth quoting in full if someone has time. sounds like someone still on double secret probation. they are at best disappointed dad remarks, and then the late segue from petey performance into jt miller discussion where allvin makes it sound like allvin decided jt had to go.

 

[ephmrl]

So the trade was in the best interest of JT’s health and the Vancouver Canucks and was discussed between JT and Allvin around the time of his leave or absence. Very ominous.

 

[Vector]

• Thanks Miller for his time in Vancouver; calls the trade a tough decision
• Also thanks Heinen, Brannstrom, and Desharnais
• New players will be playing tomorrow
• Canucks have started playing the right way and to their identity
• Hoping this will galvanize the team
• Had a conversation with Miller and his agent 2 months ago; was about his health and the environment; felt Miller needed a fresh start

• The reason why Miller is so good is because he’s super competitive; has been dealing with a lot of other things
• Wasn’t just about 2 players but the entire 23/23 man roster
• Not running a country club
• Players demand a lot from themselves and each other
• His job to create a safe environment for the players
• Hughes has been an impressive captain
• Lots of credit to the coaching staff; would have dealt with this differently in the old days
• Winning solves a lot of problems
• Won’t call it a better roster but different;likes the pieces they’ve added
• Not a whole lot available on the trade market; teams wanted their young players and didn’t want to trade their defensive prospects
• His job is to always be ahead of things and communicate; had some idea what was needed to get the Penguins deal done
• Getting the right conditions on the Rangers pick was part of the trade
• Was important to get younger players into the organization; feel that they needed to retool since he’s come in
• Have not talked to Marcus Pettersson’s agent but is a priority to get him signed; Pettersson is extremely excited
• Never any discussion about salary retention on Miller
• Was important to get medical reports on Chytil and understand what he’s been dealing with
• A lot of teams are in playoff races so very hard to make moves; has picked up over the last week but is always predict where things will end up
• Sees Drew O’Connor as a winger even though he’s played centre in Pittsburgh; extremely strong skater with good size; really good athlete; played with Garland at the World Championship two years ago; brings speed and forecheck up and down the line-up
• Expectation that all four players arriving later tonight will be in Vancouver and coaches decision on who plays tomorrow
• Sherwood will be a game-time decision
• Continue to evaluate Boeser and have conversations with his agent; both sides need to find common ground but will see where it goes over the next couple of weeks
• Elias Pettersson is committed to doing the right things and playing to the level he is capable of; has shown signs of going in the right direction; is doing the extra work that is needed; hopes that he is someone that will lead the team by playing the right way; need his production going forward
• Rutherford is an extremely honest man and there were no secrets
• Too early to say what they will do with Boeser if they get to the deadline and haven’t extended him
• Definitely have more flexibility with additional cap space but will be cautious for next season
• Hughes did not practice this morning and is being evaluated; is a game-time decision tomorrow
• Depends on how the team will come together and play over the next couple of weeks; will be tight playoff race right up to the end of the year
• Were looking for a top-4 defenceman in the summer but couldn’t meet the costs nor liked what was available
• When the Canucks are healthy, they are a difficult team to play against
• Hronek and Hughes injuries made them more vulnerable
• Victor Mancini was going to Abbotsford today, and depending on the health of the current roster, would go to Vancouver tomorrow
• D-Petey will not go to the AHL All-Star game and is a game-time decision tomorrow
• Has a higher expectation for Elias Pettersson and he has not met him; Pettersson is aware and disappointed as well; both knows he’s capable and is working at improve himself
• Miller never requested a trade; during the last 2 months the team decided with him it was the best for him, his health, and his family to move on

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Interesting that he mentioned Kudryavtsev along with Willander as prospects other teams were asking for.

Also mentioned Mynio, who is a guy I hope the Canucks sell high on.

I wasted my time listening to the interview. Could've just waited a couple of minutes.

 

[Vector]

Interesting that he mentioned Kudryavtsev along with Willander as prospects other teams were asking for.

Mentioned pretty much all their defensive prospects. Willander, Kudryavtsev, Mynio, and D-Petey.

 

[ManVanFan]

Interesting that he mentioned Kudryavtsev along with Willander as prospects other teams were asking for.

Mynio and Elias Pettersson as well. Basically the teams top D prospects.

 

[Lindgren]

Also mentioned Mynio, who is a guy I hope the Canucks sell high on.

Was it in the same comment? I missed that.

 

[pitseleh]

He keeps praising the coach, like, more than anything. Not sure what to think of it.

Though in response to the question about the offseason, the comment saying they worked with the coaching staff to figure out what to prioritize felt a bit like throwing them under the bus for the bad signings / defence construction.

 

[Vector]

Was it in the same comment? I missed that.

It was. He just listed all the team's defensive prospects in relation to not wanting to trade them.

 

[ManVanFan]

I wasted my time listening to the interview. Could've just waited a couple of minutes.

Me too.

 

[Vector]

I wasted my time listening to the interview. Could've just waited a couple of minutes.

 

[valkynax]

My doctor said if I bleach my eyes one more time I will be blindededed.

 

[Phrasing]

Also mentioned Mynio, who is a guy I hope the Canucks sell high on.

Not a fan?

 

[WTG]

I can understand Kud.

Personally think they should cash in while they can.

Are you really that confident that he'll bust out?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Are you really that confident that he'll bust out?

I just don’t see where he fits especially with MP in tow and Willander on the way.
