Rutherford checked out.

Rutherford: "I feel a big responsibility to try to make the Canucks better. I still deal with stress. If at some point, that stress gets too hard to handle, that will probably be where I’ll be retired somewhere."

Rutherford: “I probably, probably should have ended my career in Pittsburgh after the success that we had there.”

Rutherford planning his exit strategy already.

Halford: Rutherford will just piecemeal together this defence next yr with a new head coach, and say, “now will be competitive!” He is 70+ years old, he wants things now!

Shocker

Rutherford: “I knew it was going to be a challenge... It’s probably been a little bigger challenge than I expected in trying to unravel the cap situation here. The sooner we can do that, the sooner we can move forward and improve the team."

A guy in his 70's with one foot already out the door and an owner who refuses to rebuild stuck with a capped out bad team.

Just because this needed to be re-posted

MTL in full tank mode.

Rutherford:"...& a big thing [in VAN] & I totally understand, is the frustration of having a franchise for as long as they have, getting to the finals a few times but not winning the Cup. And of course, even worse than that is a # of years without being a playoff team."

Must be nice that they have a fanbase that can tolerate a rebuild


BC Lions would take over this city if the Canucks did the same

Maybe they figure it out next year? These guys really don't know what they're doing lol.....


“I have a lot of respect for (Allvin),” Rutherford said. “He’s really good at what he does. The roles are different with me being president and him being the (general manager). I don’t do the phone calls to other (general managers) and things like that. He does the day-to-day stuff that I would have done in the past. That’s a little bit of an adjustment for me. And an adjustment for him in his new role.
