He was pretty quick to sign with Montreal and post up photos of his childhood connection with them... also even when the summer season ended my buddy who’s a massive Habs fan said they were after Toffoli from the getgo... also based on many reports....

I gather the Knuckleheads lost. Good thing I stopped watching after second period.

So Canucks haven't actually scored a single goal on Calgary yet..
Calgary just put 2 in their own net.

Time for the Canucks organization to drop and pass Newell Brown.
The game of hockey is forever changing. Dude is irrelevant. If he's not going to get creative, time to move on to.................... broadcasting?

Another concern for the team is the PK. The penalty kill sucks right now.

I’m aware of that.
But that’s just his words to the media immediately after the season ended, unless you’re his personal friend or family member or agent you don’t know what he was doing in the background.
I don’t know why you’re always so condescending on any Canucks posts. Do you work in their head office? I can appreciate all the statistical and salary cap analysis that’s all data that’s available, but to act like you know every single thing happening from an administrative and managerial perspective? It’s just your opinion, not fact.

uhm...ive been following them pretty closely this preseason and he's just echoing what all the insider reports were pretty much saying...
discussions never gotten to the point of "offer territory" for tofuman but it did seem like he liked it here with the team/city/players and wanted to make it work but JB's priority was Markstrom first and foremost with maybe a slight mention to Tanev next

Honestly, can't say I fault them for feeling a bit disrespected.

You have to be able to handle multiple players and contracts at a time as a GM. From an outsiders perspective it seemed that GMJB didn't have a game plan at all for the team in the off season. He moved from player to player trying to re-sign them. Focus was on Markstrom and OEL trade. Once those fell through, he moved onto Tanev. Toffoli and Stecher were down the list and probably weren't even contacted.

^ This is all entirely conjecture.
Someone could see your company making 5 widgets in an day and then say “from an outsiders perspective I think Liquid o2 went into work today and probably answered 1 phone call and focused on 1 widget and didn’t even bother with the other 4” but that person wasn’t privy to all you did in your day.
I mean you’re basically accusing him of dereliction of his most basic duties as a GM?

Well has he even been able to make an effective trade outside of the Miller deal?
Seems fine at Drafting but his management of assets and the cap definitely raises some red

I'm sure an NHL GM is just spending all his time on one player at a time, because that's all he can do what with all the other important roles like tweeting and watching TV. I'm sure he has no help either, as managing an NHL team is a one man job.

I realize he couldn't do much until he knew whether Marky was going to re-sign, but I think he waited too long and lost out on his other players.
