@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 Give me a quote where someone attributed Quinn Hughes directly for the change.
It's obvious that once Quinn left, there was no pressure. It is easy when there's no pressure, because you don't need accountability. And don't forget, Garland, Myers, Sherwood also left.
@RasidB@CanucksFanWI@princessrica84 If he waited to tell them, then they get less on their trade value. He helped them, but to be fair, Canucks helped him too. It worked out for both.
@princessrica84@RasidB The Canucks failed Hughes, not the other way around. He delivered massive value on his contract. The Canucks didn't give him a competitive team or even a practice rink or competent coach.
That's a failure on the Canucks, not Hughes.
@TrutherCanucks@TanbirRana94@TELUS Because EDM fans support makes it viable. Canucks fans wanted a rebuild, rebuilds create fan apathy, fan apathy causes lost revenue for Canucks and other Canucks related businesses.
SN650 were going to lose even more money during the rebuild. But Canucks fans got the rebuild.
@TrutherCanucks@TanbirRana94@TELUS Lol. Sports radio already failed 3 times. Fans didn't support it and it didn't make enough money.
If Rogers cut off the Canucks as a partner, aquilini would have less money to run the team.
People hate Benning and it didn't turn out well. But his resume and vast experience in scouting, on a cup winning team is far more impressive than RJ.
The person the Canucks should've hired should've had a resume like Bennings, but with better EQ and mgmt skills.
@Johnny_Canuck69@Craig5475@ChrisConte79 I should clarify. Benning had a much better resume than RJ, much better experience on a cup winning team and had less budget constraints. That's what I meant by "equipped".

@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 How so? There was no evidence of it prior. Only when he wanted to leave did anyone start complaining. Pure revisionist history.
If you say he's terrible because he wanted to leave...that doesn't make him terrible captain. That makes him smart.
@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 It's easy to replace guys doing community work. It's easy to have locker room vibes when it's a bunch of young guys who don't need to win.
What's hard is replacing a player as good as Hughes. It's shocking that Canucks fans haven't figured that out.
@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 Even if he wasn't as community oriented, that wasn't his primary function and of course he wouldn't do much when they were planning to trade him anyways.
@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 Hughes told them he wasn't going to re-sign and Canucks mgmt and him decided it best that he move on sooner rather than later. QH took some minor hits in exchange for them to grant him some option despite no NMC. Fair deal both parties.
@brettdrc@shortbus2006@FreePeteyEP40 Anyone who prioritized winning in the next few years would not want to stay with the Canucks. They aren't committed on the ice and with $ to win.
