Tocchet will need time to evaluate the roster. Wait for last minute deals or none at all.
- VanHockeyGuy

Management: have spent the last year evaluating the team
Management: fires Bouds to hire Tocchet because he fits into the vision of their team
VHG: Tocchet is going to need a month before he makes any roster decisions

Tocchet's input is going to come in the summer once he gets to know the (remaining) group. It sure as poop isn't going to be used over the next month in trading off assets

Saw that. Fantastic.

Supposedly Hamlin shows up in a hoodie not showing his face, sitting up in the dark, why not show his face and celebrate, kind of amazing surviving 9 minutes without oxygen with no physical damage lol

In their mind the coaching change has bought them more time, which suits Allvin just fine.

Waddell must be doing God’s work by ignoring them all and still building a good team

Well maybe then he can trade for a Canuck and show off even more?

All seriousness, what will it take for the Canucks to turn it around?

Based on any real, or your own research?

Agree it’s all on management. Though they will probably be talking to Tocchet to be inclusive on roster/trade moves.

Donnie to Dhali

So, what you are saying is, after 1 practise, we can start planning the parade.

Dhali is such a guzzler.

I think any big moves they make will be last minute. I heard they may present another offer to Bo. Aside from Kuz no ones exactly going after anyone else.

Dhali has finally got a little credibility from the Canucks, something Sekeres & Price and Patterson don't have. He needs to be careful what he says.

Rutherford's MO has tended towards earlier trades. I think that will continue. I'd expect in the next 2 weeks Bo gets traded, and potentially Boeser. I could see Schenn getting traded right at the deadline.

Ya, I actually like Rick, most of the time. He is the best Canucks insider, imo. Just thought it was funny how Donnie was poking him.

5+ weeks to the TDL, I'll venture to guess they stand pat for another month, because I'm really not sure they know what direction they want to go.

So sell in the off-season? If they want to tank they sell whatever they can now. Let Tocchet tinker with what’s left. Set up for next season. Take what they can at the draft.

They have to make a decision on whether it's Bo or Kuz, they can't do both unless they miraculously loose some contracts.

Buyouts in the summer if they can't move any of the other scraps.

This gets teams serious so as to avoid high prices for 2nd options if the bar starts high as teams panic when players disappear from availability.

He's best for signing and NTC related stuff since his main sources are agents, trade rumours I think he has a harder time with unless NTC's are involved. I've actually ran into him at a Starbucks lineup in Coquitlam before(maybe Don was there too?), he's a nice guy.

This is true. I think it might be the smarter thing to this TDL, not a lot of cap space available from buying teams so I'd rather sell early instead of being left holding the bag. Plus a few teams like the Hawks will be in full firesale mode and flooding the market.

Honestly I have no faith in JR now for player deals. He is much older and cannot even handle a coaching change properly. He fumbled the Miller situation and then just signed him as a default. He clearly calls the shots and Allvin being there doesn't do much imho.

A pretty good scrap last night

Agreed. Even ignoring the Bruce fiasco, this management team has dug this hole deeper and only lost trust so far, they need to have a great TDL to redeem themselves and restore some faith.

do you believe they have the collective ability to do that?
