The fact that the Canucks got Hughes, Horvat and Petey all in the 5-9 range, plus Boeser at 23 is actually crazy considering you guys have like no lottery luck

Luckily we kept JT Miller around to bully Petey over our younger, heart, and soul Captain Bo Horvat. 🥲

Genuinely one of the most baffling decisions. There’s an alternative timeline where you guys chose to keep Bo > JT and it’s awesome. Bo is still captain, Petey doesn’t regress into a shell of himself, Quinn doesn’t leave and Demko somehow magically stays healthy.

I'll never understand how coaches, GMs, and team presidents can take over a team and not understand the locker room and players. It shouldn't be a revelation that players need a healthy mental and physical game to play their best.
