Rick Tocchet not returning to the Canucks

[shello]

Nah, bringing in Torts to motivate EP40

Need a Torts reunion in Vancouver so bad

The cool thing about facts is that it doesn't matter if you believe them or not.

There is data, and there is data that doesn't fit my view. Therefore, the latter is not data.

This way of thinking is more efficient, as I do not have to be torn between my established view and the contradiction, which is truly painful.

Also if one of the years cant count (because bubble) then itd be 1 time in 9 years... because if you add the 11th year to make it 10 then its 2/10... Which isnt impressive at all but still at least be consistent with ones own stated rules XD.

Really hoping they dont hire Woodcroft or Bylsma... Super ready to be disappointed with whomever they hire since there arent a ton of great options and the Canucks would not be a prime destination among the teams available.

Tell us you know nothing about Vancouver real estate without telling us

The teams owned by Billionaires.

 

[JAK]

This team's management, from ownership down, has been an embarrassment to the city and its fans.

Players, coaches, GMs, have all changed, but the only consistent thing is the meddling owner.

I'm frankly disgusted,

This is getting ugly. Rutherford is destroying this franchise.

 

[Breakers]

patient zero is tortellini

This guy is the worst owner ever
I now put him as worse than Pegula

Also take the mic away from that idiot Rutherford. Have some tact, or just retire

 

[jackjohnson]

Jesus. WTF is going on in Vancouver.

Relax bro, he signed 2 years in vancouver for a reason. Wants to stay east for family reason. Everyone loves to crap on vancouver like this is still somehow the managements fault. No need to be melodramatic about it.

 

[jackjohnson]

Cheap owner

Tocchet wanted to leave due to family reasons.

 

[jackjohnson]

Frankly, I think it's pretty much irrelevant to Vancouver fans whether or not he's a good coach. There are far bigger things at stake here. What kind of a message does this send to the fanbase, if Tocchet doesn't want to come back? What kind of a message does it send to Quinn Hughes?

It seems JR and Alvin knew Tocchet might be temporary. There is a reason why he signed for 2 years. It was known that he might move back east, nothing to do with Canucks.

 

[jackjohnson]

I don't get it, is the implication that they don't wanna pay Tocchet his contract ask?

This seems more like Tocchet flat out wanting to be somewhere else.

Dont listen to these posters, they are just talking nonsense. He is leaving due to family reasons. Canucks offered him 4 mil per year to stay.

 

[jackjohnson]

trade quinn but who would take petey? may God have mercy on their souls if there is a team crazy enough to do so

They arent trading nurse so its way easier to trade EP40. One bad season is not a deal breaker unlike Nurse with that contract.

Ha HA HA this keeps getting better and better. Calling out your captain publicly is such a VAN move. And Quinn not calling him back lol.

I don't know why people still bring up Nurse's contract. It's only awful if they're wanting to trade him, and they aren't. Nurse had a great season for him, and is worth what he was paid this year. Much like last year, there will be far worse contracts signed on July 1 than Nurse's deal. Not that Nurse has an bearing at all on EP40. His contract isn't one I would call bad, but if they were wanting to move him, any GM interested would know that its an incredible gamble to take him on with his regression the past two seasons.
