We can and will talk about the return for years, but at the end of the day, Vancouver had to trade the best defenseman in team history in the prime of his career.
That's a failure.
The way things are going with Quinn Hughes is a disaster in slow motion, and let’s be clear, the blame lands squarely on a Canucks organization that never built the contender he deserved.
We’ve talked about for weeks and I still can’t believe it.. Peak Bure vs peak Hughes is a close call as the best Canucks player to wear the jersey, and now it’s over
When you’re trading Quinn Hughes, every package is going to feel underwhelming. Canucks fans just lost the most talented player to ever play for the franchise.
Don't blame Quinn Hughes.
The Canucks got the best player in franchise history in the draft and never built winning teams around him.
He wanted to win here but it just wasn't going to happen and now he is gone.
Thierry Henry is still the only player in Premier League history to score 20+ goals and provide 20+ assists in a single season.
26 years ago today, he joined Arsenal ❤️
Tocchet leaving will take Foote with him. These are two guys that Hughes absolutely loved, and the Canucks chances of resigning him have exponentially decreased with Toc leaving.
Stylistically, I’m fine with it. But it means the org was too cheap to pay up. Fuck @fr_aquilini
#Canucks can't afford a practice facility and it looks like they can't afford their coach either.
Terrible look for the organization.
Say whatever you want about Tocchet, he was the guy they wanted and he was the guy Hughes wanted.
