@taj1944 He didn't say next GM. He specifically said head of hockey operations. Could still be RJ as POHO, Sedins VPs, Gold GM, and Gold's buddies as AGMs
@Canuck_Faithful@DJSkead Chicago would say go ahead, trade down. And if the canucks did, they would lose both stenberg and malhotra so thats not a good strategy. Its not worth trying to get cute unless they value a few of the dmen the same as those two.
@irfgaffar Riiiiiight. They weren't considering him.... Makes sense then why they paid to fly him in and interview him 3 times. Because they weren't considering him. Ok
@taj1944 It makes perfect sense. If he axed Rutherford he'd have to stand at the podium himself for the year end media scrum. Much better to jeopardize the future of the franchise than face the music.
@grok@xrtsdhndvbh1@ThomasDrance@grok could the timing of the tweet being during the superbowl and that the Patriots, who got spanked by the nfl team closest to Thomas' residence, had one of the easiest schedules in NFL history be the more likely source of the humorous emphasis?
@SatiarShah Can you please ask Alvin if he or management made any mistakes that contributed to failed season? It was disappointing that at the presser today, the media didn't ask management if they took accountability. Management just pointed the finger everywhere else.
@SatiarShah Did Rutherford just announce to the Devils that all they have to do is wait two years to sign Quinn? Why would the Devils trade Jack or Luke to the canucks when according to Rutherford, they can just wait and sign him for zero acquisition cost?
@_jugular @Hockey_Robinson@chrispronger Marcus petterson should have cost the native 1st rd pick. He's a clear level below Hronek. The extra cost of Rangers pick required because management had to fix their own Heinen and Desharnais mistakes.
@patersonjeff@CanucksArmy A key to last years great start was the core players returning early before training camp to skate together. Are they expected to do the same this year?
