I never went back to that site even once. It was over. It was no longer a hockey site.
X is becoming a cesspool also these days.
I don’t think the future is bright any longer for Canadian hockey. NHL is streaming more games and with the currency exchange difference and top players wanting to play in tax free states It does not look good for Canucks. I probably expect to see about forty games on TV this year instead of the full 82 plus.
84 games this year. Gotta milk the teet until it’s dry. I don’t imagine the revenue from the extra 2 games makes it’s way to the consumer in any way shape or form aside from the extra wallet grab.
I never thought this would need explaining but when Canucks fans or any other Canadian team buy tickets they pay in Canadian dollars so when the team pays the players there is an exchange rate difference.
It has always been that way & the exchange rate has been fairly consistent. Also ticket prices for 🇨🇦 teams are not cheap giveaways like Florida teams & better attendance in 🇨🇦 cities even in the PO’s.

This makes sense to me.

If Hronek isn’t the long term captain this works until one rises from the ranks.

Contracts are in $USD what currency exchange do you mean?

Canadian teams just have to build a winner, that changes everything. There’s a bunch of NHL teams in high tax states just like Canada, Minnesota, Anaheim, LA Kings, San Jose, Washington DC, Washington State, New Jersey, Islanders, Rangers, Boston, Buffalo, they all pay high tax rates with the high salaries in pro sports.
Currency for Canadian teams is definitely an issue though with a ever-increasing salary cap, and the crappy weather most Canadian teams have to offer their players, taxes certainly plays into it too, but that’s not purely a Canadian problem.

I remembered your name about an hour later. Old age has set in.
All good my friend, I was teasing and testing you a couple months back when VHG brought up your old username and I pretended not to know who you were.
Glad to see the great Quinnie fucken over the Wild right now, what a POS
Stop it…he’s not screwing over anyone, he’s signed for another year and he’s seeing what happens with the Wild’s roster, their cap situation, and/or seeing how things playout with whatever’s important to him. He’s under no obligation to extend with the Wild, or manage their salary cap situation for them. I think they currently have 1.1 million for the 2026/27 season but they lack a true number one center, although they don’t seem to have any trouble scoring as they were 11th in GF last season.
Offensively Quinn Hughes is top three dmen in the league, he controls breakouts like few others in the game. His slight stature does hold him back when defending but he’s learning to use body position better as he matures as a player, he’s only 26 years old. The past five seasons he’s a +61, he has 41 points in 41 career playoff games, and he has 388 points in 378 games, the kid is an unbelievable player but he got tired of the shit-show in Vancouver, who can blame him? They got a great return for him, thankfully!
I’m going to laugh my ass off when Quinn Hughes signs with the Panthers to be with his friends instead of his brothers in NJ. All along I’ve been wondering why in the world Quinn would go to NJ and ruin Luke’s career. Quinn would bump Luke off the top pairing and the #1 PP unit. A massive hit to his career stats and less to leverage in the following contract because of his career demotion. NJ makes little sense to me but people love a good narrative.
Afterall QH was born in Orlando Florida so not really all that farfetched of an idea. Besides NJ cannot get untracked nor suits QH’s wants to win unless all big bs.
