Canucks have made "a couple of minor moves" I'm told.
Will know more soon.
Speaking with Elias Pettersson hasn’t been easy at the best of times but my chat with him today revealed emotions that we’ve not often seen. You’re frustrated watching him? Imagine how frustrated he is with himself.

You have to listen to Halford and Borough's 2nd hour of the show as a podcast. They have Frank Seravalli on the show to defend himself, Brough respectfully pushed back and Frank had a meltdown.
This was unbelievable radio and we should all listen to it. Brough is the best of them #Canucks #Olympics
Immensely sad to hear Jim Robson has died.
He was truly the voice of my youth. Many talk about ‘Greg Adams! Greg Adams!’ but I watched that game on TV so my memory of his was calling the Canucks’ OT win in ‘91 pushed them into the playoffs.
And as a writer he was always so kind and supportive.
Facing 20 years.
Canucks luck to the extreme.
This interview actually gives hope for the future if he's allowed to see it through.
Hope this interview doesn't get him fired 🤣
Taylor: If he wants to move it along quickly because of his age, that's wrong!
Dhaliwal: Jim has won Stanley Cups, he's one of the best executives of all-time.
Taylor: I could open a gate for Sidney Crosby and Malkin too 🔥🔥🤣🤣

Don Taylor: "If they're going to go back to this mushy middle bullshit people are going to be upset."
@donnieanddhali.bsky.social
Ridiculous story. What a way to treat your players.
Fans as bags as money. Players as chattel.
What a scoop by @benlypka.bsky.social

Did I put Botch's concept of needing an army of guys to Jim Rutherford? Sure did.
Did he agree? Sure did.
My column:

Elliotte didn't say this but after listening it's clear it's a matter when not if with a Hughes trade.
Canucks are currently talking about a Hughes trade with multiple teams (including Wings and Devils)
Elliotte on Hughes trade:
"I think teams are talking with the Canucks about it."
(32 Thoughts)
Elliotte with the bombshell:
"I think there are talks going on around Hughes. It's just difficult to handicap how long it's going to take or where it's going to end up."
(32 Thoughts)
Moj bomb:
"I’m hearing that if this slide continues, you could see some changes within the team’s management group after Christmas."

Jim Rutherford on Quinn Hughes:
“I believe Quinn and his agent are aware of the direction we want to go. And they’re aware of the direction they want to go. Everybody wants to play on a winning team. But there’s different reasons why people make decisions"

"Use whatever word people like, whether it's somewhat of a rebuild, not a full blown rebuild, but a rebuild-retool, whatever." -- JR said this to me unprompted.

Hearing it's preventative maintenance
Canucks GM Patrik Allvin tells me neither Conor Garland nor Quinn Hughes are travelling with the team. Canucks flying to St. Louis today.
Allvin still hopeful Hughes can join the team in either Minnesota or Nashville.
Who else is excited for the #Canucks to start the season?

Dhaliwal: "Canucks number 1 priority on July 1st wasn't Brock Boeser, it was Dvorak. They got into a bidding war with Philly for Dvorak...Don't kid yourself Canucks number 1 option wasn't Boeser. They went to Boeser once they lost Dvorak"
Elliotte was asked about the Evander Kane situation over the weekend where he was allegedly attacked/punched at Pierre's.
He said he doesn't want to comment on it right now and guess about what happened. Wants to hear all the details first.

3 years ago, Rutherford and Allvin walked into the ashes of Jim Benning's destruction and apparently thought to themselves: "what if we could make this even worse? 🤔"
#Canucks
Luongo on Sportsnet:
I love Vancouver too
Seravalli: There is an ongoing battle behind the scenes right now between the Aquilini family. It's not over control of the team because Francesco is going to maintain that...They have to buyout Paolo. It has been ongoing. Probably wont get settled until the start of the season.
(DFO pod)
Dhaliwal: So many people around the NHL are baffled by why Allvin didn't go to the NHL combine...A lot of people are really shocked and surprised he didn't go to Buffalo.
(Halford & Brough)
Dhaliwal said the deal happened quickly within the past hour.
So 100% what happened 😂😂
Fire Rutherford
Fire Allvin
Fire Foote
Hiring Adam Foote will down as one of the worst coaching hires in franchise history.
That doesn't necessarily mean next season will be a disaster. Even Willie D made the playoffs in his first season.
But long-term this is going to be horrible.
