Avs lose key people from their analytics department and they're hiring more people right away.

Amazing what can be accomplished when your organization isn't on a budget.

@Canucks ownership @fr_aquilini not committed to winning or an invested rebuild. Leopards don’t change their spots and neither do shitty owners

[Taj @taj1944]

Seravalli on Canucks rebuild:

Plan is to go lean throughout the organization. It's not just salary for players. It's coaching salaries and other parts of hockey ops.

[Wyatt Arndt @TheStanchion]

Every few years I like to highlight how important it can be to welcome new people into whatever industry you work in. It’s something @botchford did with so many people and it was something I try and pass along whenever I can.

Welcome to the team @SheaSerrano

HUGE DAY FOR ALL OF US LIFELONG CANADIAN SOCCER FANS SINCE SIX MINUTES AGO WHEN WE FOUND OUT THIS WAS GONNA BE THEIR FIRST TIME EVER MAKING IT INTO THE ROUND OF 16

[Taj @taj1944]

No idea if this draft will be good or not but why are people surprised they're picking based on a tape measure instead of scoring profiles?

Todd Harvey was hired by Jim Benning. Why did people suddenly expect a change? He's not going to suddenly change his philosophy.

[Taj @taj1944]

Hope Canucks mgmt have a good night sleep.

They must be exhausted watching everyone else make trades.

[Taj @taj1944]

Canucks right now: Wait you're allowed to trade up?

[alstar @alstar101]

#canucks fans to RJ right now:

[Taj @taj1944]

Multiple playoff teams trading impact players but Canucks need to keep Hronek for culture and leadership.

[Taj @taj1944]

Another player returning 2 first round picks.

Trade market is on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Aren't these teams worried about culture and leadership?

[alstar @alstar101]

This continues to be true

#canucks fans watching the nhl trade frenzy right now

[Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff]

by my count, 21 of 32 #NHL teams have been involved in some sort of trade activity over the past week

@SatiarShah Making trades?

[alstar @alstar101]

The only way this is acceptable given the current market is Hronek just refusing to waive

[Canucks News Summaries @VCanucksNews]

Via Patrick Johnston:

"I’m not expecting Hronek to be anywhere but Vancouver"

"They’d like to move DeBrusk and word is they’ve been talking calls on Pettersson"

[Edward - Sapsterr @Sapsterr_]

This isn't encouraging at all. It's the sign of a team that isn't shopping their players enough.

If RJ hits a homerun on his first major trade, then I'll hold off on judgement in the future, as it clearly works for him in getting the best return possible.

However, not striking while the market is as hot as it currently is would be a major blunder.
