      I’m seeing that Canucks traded for Evander Kane this morning. Which is really surprising, considering what they just went through with a dysfunctional locker room. Really disappointing. He’s on the last year of a contract, but still, they’re going to need a strong locker room leadership group to deal with someone who brings a lot of drama with him. Really disappointed.

      Yeah, I don’t exactly get it. Unless it’s part of a bigger move. Which is quite possible with the way this group deals. Still, why throw the Oilers a life line?

      I really don’t like the guy, but he does add an element the Canucks badly need. I just hope he’s not a locker room cancer. Bob Stauffer out of Edmonton said he talked to the Oiler players and no one really had an issue with Kane, but he’s just a classless individual. Not shaking hands with Florida when they won the cup just shows who he is as an individual. He’s also in the last year of a contract, which bodes well for the Canucks.

      I am also really disappointed, I agree with loaded that this is part of a bigger picture with this management group, but this particular player is an ass.

      I am scratching my head at some of Alvin’s moves lately, and if that Barzal/Dobson for Pettersson/Hronek becomes true I will be at a loss as to the direction of the club.

        There’s some smoke out there around social media about the Canucks, not sure what to think of it, could be a wild draft for them with a lot of player movement, or it could be a nothing burger too. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Trading Pettersson for Barzal would be a huge mistake in my opinion.

      Demko signed for three years at 8.5 million a season.

      Boeser signs in Vancouver, 7 x 7.25 million. Keeping the country club together. ????

      I must admit, despite it’s faults, the format here is actually much better than the new HB website. That thing is putrid!

        That new HB site has sucked the life out of the past format, it’s crap.

        Ek is clinging to his 1 or 2 good comments and completely ignoring all the criticism and requests to bring back some of the old functions that made HB what brought people together.

      Interesting, if you can log on you should be able to quote, although why bother, you can’t carry on any more than 3 replies to a post anyway. It will be interesting to see if it lasts until the end of the year, not much traffic in the entire site.

      @ Seadog

      I have pretty much given up on that site

      HB has turned into a joke. Starts with the Canucks so called blogger.

      Like what I saw from Cootes and Lekkerimaki duo.
      Might have to watch just for those 2 alone

        Neither of them looked out of place in game 1, hoping for continued success tonight.

      Game 2 was a different story, let’s see how the next few games go, before they have to make a decision on Cootes

      I guess this is kind of an old topic but Cootes looked like he just wasn’t ready for the NHL, thus he was sent down.

      Center depth within the organization is a complete mess at the moment for the Canucks. They somehow always find a way to be a dysfunctional organization no matter what decade it is, and predominantly why they’ve never won a cup.
