Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Toch said in interviews at the beginning of the season that Petey came in excellent shape, so I think that was debunked, especially given that Toch is a fitness freak.
Anyway, it's ride or die. If you trade Petey, you're definitely sending the wrong message to Hughes, and if Hughes leaves, the franchise will be a bottom feeder for 5 to 8 years.
I think the best thing for everybody is if Petey just stops doing media scrums/interviews like Hronek.
Hindsight is 20/20. Everyone was screaming to sign ep40 and applauded that was a good contract. Obviously not saying that he should get some slack as it's upon himself to perform properly on the ice.
Quoting this because at the time Petey looked like the most exciting Canucks player since Pavel Bure.
I think the Canucks are right where they belong. Between a rock and a hard place. Not good enough to make the playoffs? And also not shitty enough to get a high draft pick. lol.

If taxes are the issue all of them will not re-sign here or demand a trade to the States. JT Miller stated he love playing here, as did the Sedins, Meyers, Tanev etc...
I think the media makes Vancouver a really toxic place to play for. And since we don’t have another major sports team, you’ll be the center of attention any time you’re in public so that’s another thing to deal with.

But its not just Vancouver. You look at the Maple Laughs. For 7 years they had 4 top guys getting paid 10M+ and they couldn't even make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Then you have the Oilers. Even the "Hockey God" with Draisaitl can't "will" their way to a cup.
So the only way Canada wins a Stanley Cup is if "Team Canada" all play for one Canadian NHL team and everyone takes a pay cut. lol.
Canucks luck is just terrible... You'd think just last season, they looked pretty decent with the right core pieces filled in the respective areas to be a contender, but everything just collapsed very suddenly. From two ppg (or "100pt") centers, Vezina caliber goalie, to now missing all of that.
JT Miller wanted out and was mentally checked out
EP40 is still playing like a 3/4th liner after a full calendar year with no explanation
Demko is cooked and his career is in jeopardy
All 3 are massive losses and not something any GM could have predicted.
Miller won't be a role that can easily be filled via trades.
EP40 is looking like the next Huberdeau.
Demko, even when healthy again, is a ticking time bomb. I'm not confident he'll be able to play a full 7 game series again, nevermind the entire playoffs.
Would really help if Boeser's last season was not an anomaly, even though we all probably knew it was. He's not a legit 40 goal player. He's more like a 25 goal / 60 pt winger that is unable to drive play on his own.
GM needs to make the right move on this trade.

There’s enough parity in this league that any team has a 3% chance of winning the whole thing every year.
Of course there are outliers to start a season like the Blackhawks where they’re not even trying to put a decent team together… but it’s pretty tough to put it together at the right time and keep that intensity level up to march through the playoffs. No other league has anywhere near as intense a postseason as the NHL does.
Wow Sorokin’s shooting percentage is undefined: 1 goal on 0 shots!

The Blackhawks traded defenceman Seth Jones to the Florida Panthers for goalie Spencer Knight and a first-round pick in either 2026 or 2027, the teams announced on Saturday.
The Blackhawks will also send a 2026 fourth-round pick to Florida and retain approximately 26 per cent of Jones' contract, per Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Bad trade for the Panthers. They get a 30 year old Jones with declining production and injuries. 27 points in 42 games for Jones this season.
The 2026 draft class is going to be one of the deepest drafts in years. Florida gave up their first round pick in 2026 haha.
This is a good trade for Chicago. They get a decent goalie and a first round pick.
