Petterson is not the problem on this team; his wingers can’t finish for shit when he sets them up.

Team management is just plain horrible and will be like this for a very long time. Can’t wait for Vancouver Goldeneyes to begin their season!
The team is totally fine! You guys just want to be depressed.

AKA: they think there someone keeping hughes.
Which they won’t anyhow unless they rebuild and he is ok with it.
My friends and I talk about the Canucks whether by text or in-person. I’ve been in the camp of competing and I’ve also been in the camp of rebuild (such is the life of a fan, flip flopping).
Maybe a hot take, but I’m not going to lie…a future prospective core of McKenna, Cootes, Lekki, D-Petey, Willander and Mancini to me is pretty exciting. Sure we might suck for a few years and there’s no guarantee everyone pans out, but if everyone did pan out, that might have the makings of something special.
I’ll have you know he’s not paid 11.6 to rack up points or score goals. He’s paid 11.6 to have decent advanced analytics in games where we lose by multiple goals, win 45% of his draws, break up the occasional D to D pass, and make nifty moves through the neutral zone as he dumps the puck in
Jim Benning – 2014:
“I like this team. I like the core players [ie: Sedins]. This is a team we can turn around in a hurry.”
Jim Benning – 2019:
“We’ve got a good young core now: Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, and Hughes, that we can build around.”
Patrik Allvin – 2025:
“Well, I don’t think you can [rebuild] when you have good players in Quinn Hughes, Thatcher Demko, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser[…]”
Johnny Rotten -1978:
“Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”

You can sell hope and promising young players. Vancouver sold tickets even when Del Zotto and Gudbranson were roaming the blue line.
I think ownership and management have to rethink what the risk to fan loyalty really is – is it having a rebuild that marginally underperforms a retool in the short term, but does way better long term?
Or is it a continual hopeless slog / retool to reach mid pack without any chance of getting a realistic shot at contending?
Canucks fans would be happier if we lost more but Petterson played a more selfish irresponsible game so he could score a few more points.
I’ve kinda come to accept the fact that the Canucks aren’t going to get a Cup for at least 15 years. The denial in management is too great.
Canucks played so well yesterday. I get it they lost, but holy shit the negativity is crazy lol.
For a minute I thought that was Luongo’s twitter, but it’s not.
Maybe just need a different coach
$11.5 million Phillip Danault is such a slick burn. Definitely laugh, don’t cry; life is too short to take the Canucks seriously.
He’s ignoring Boeser/Garland/Hronek to cherry pick some bad times.
We basically have Joel embiid in net, we’re cooked
I’m an EP40 fan but 11.6M Danault absolutely sent me
“We can’t rebuild because…” Ownership won’t let us. Ownership is the only reason.

Team would be better right now if we replaced Petey with Suter. At least the PK wouldnt suck.
Man we should sell Hughes ASAP (before we can even discuss a new contract with him) for two first round picks and a prospect. There’s a solid 5 percent chance one of those pieces turns out to be 80 percent as good as Hughes.
Linden was right. I wonder if we would have just went on a rebuild. Do we keep Horvat? Do we draft Quinn still? Did we have a chance at either Celebrini or Bedard. Chose to go retool instead and make our stars and now we are stuck on the road with less than half a tank of gas and no gas station in between going back home or moving forward.

2 or 3 weeks translates to 1 to 2 months when it’s the Canucks talking about injuries.
Shit post.
Me when people will argue rebuilds don’t always work as we head to 11th in the West again:

He makes 11.6 ☝️🤓

The whole management group is incompetent.
