My first effort at a John Garrett obit theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Elliotte on Canucks GM search bombshell: I'm starting to hear there's 2-3 lists. There's a Rutherford list, there's an ownership list and there might be another one. (Oilers Now)

Canucks full statement on Trevor Beggs below and includes: "...the credential referenced will not be reinstated. There was no negotiation or a condition to have the article retracted in order to keep the credential.” www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hocke...

Kyper: Patrik Allvin I think has told a few people close around him that he doesn't expect to be back. #BombShell (Kyper & Bourne)

Canucks at it again. 🤣🤣 awfulannouncing.com/nhl/trevor-b...

Apparently the Canucks didn't know about the Streisand effect? theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Here is Beggs talking about it on the Locked On Canucks Podcast. He seems like a great guy and a very hard worker. Pretty crappy move by the team/ownership. #FreeBeggs #Canucks www.youtube.com/live/qfX1Wjw...

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. On a man who is searching for answers theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

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.

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 🔥🔥🤣🤣 @donnieanddhali.bsky.social

Don Taylor: "If they're going to go back to this mushy middle bullshit people are going to be upset." @donnieanddhali.bsky.social

I'm just so tired, friends theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Ridiculous story. What a way to treat your players. Fans as bags as money. Players as chattel. What a scoop by @benlypka.bsky.social abbynews.com/2025/12/19/a...

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

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." mapleridgenews.com/2025/12/05/t...

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" (via PJ) #hegone

"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. theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

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? vancouversun.com/news/lawsuit...

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. (590)

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.

Elliotte believes Canucks have interviewed Mitch Love but it was more informal and probably want to meet in person with him when he's available. He believes Canucks may have interviewed Todd Reirden as well. Hinting at Tocchet going to Philly

Foote would go down as the worst coach in franchise history.

"Paolo has resigned from his positions with the team and will be leaving the ownership group" Canucks ownership denies the team is for sale though. theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

Sat reporting the team is NOT for sale according to Canucks sources

Kyper mentions rumors about the Aquilini's looking to sell part or the majority of the team. Kyper mentions Luigi, Paolo and Roberto have no active role in the hockey club and may have grown tired of the constant drama surrounding the team.

New Gary Mason column dropped. The part about Hughes 💀💀 "Maybe it wasn’t because he saw the writing on the wall with Quinn Hughes – that he concluded the chance of the superstar agreeing to an extension with the team was slim to none."

Elliotte on Boeser saying it's unlikely that he'll be back: "I think he's heartbroken" (32 pod)

In the biggest game of the season Pettersson with a late tying goal and assist. Then scores a huge shootout goal. Showing up in big moments and saving their season for now.

No "A" for Boeser tonight. This management team loves nothing more than publicly shittin on him. Boeser is all class and everyone loves him. It's crazy they treat him this way.

For the record I *did* tell EP40 this morning to score a goal

This was a rare market opportunity for the Canucks and their management choked Don't believe the BS that they're going to leak about the offers not being good Every other seller got a great return Either they're lying or they're horrible at their jobs Time to *retire" gramps

God damn the latest episode of Paradise was probably one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen in a long time. Like prime HBO quality. Just a non stop hour long stress fest

iMac: Per Canucks coach Rick Tocchet, C Elias Pettersson's status is day-to-day w injury from 4 Nations, and it doesn't appear Quinn Hughes will be ready to play SAT vs VGK. Both Pettersson and Hughes left the ice shortly after today's practice began.

Elliotte on Pettersson: It was rough for him here...I know he's battling something, I don't know, I don't know. There's a lot of pushback on that. I don't even know what to say about it, so I'm just going to stop there. (32 pod)

Seems like Canucks didn't make Hughes available for the 2nd straight day 😂😂
