To a degree they are, but how many players would be playing/drafted/traded and people hired/fired if every single decision was to appease fans? Going on the whim of your audience isn't the best way to run a business, especially when so much of this audience isn't that well-informed and are easily persuadable. - NewYorkNuck
True but Bo will be Captain & giving him an A is part of the process.

Correct, it was a no brainer but expansion's negative impact can be felt in today's game. I mean, the NHL has done everything in its power to change the game to appeal to the lowest common denominator, the casual fan, while ignoring the base fan. - bloatedmosquito
Fans at the game last night were very passionate. I was shocked how into it they were. Don’t think they knew what they were watching, but they cheered louder than our fans.
They are a bit sensitive though. I started a let’s go Golden Showers chant and some fans got pretty upset with me.

Canucks haven't had any contract talks with Vanek, his agent confirms. Expectation is he gets moved by Monday's deadline.
