LMAO...Tochett left because he was/is a warrior and there are zero warriors in this organization.
Making a 20something vegan beta male your team captain really didn't help. I'm not a JT Miller fan AT ALL...but making him the captain would've probably been better. Instead he caved under the pressure of his big contract and the guilt got the better of him. Meanwhile Petey, Brock, whoever else...are just not captain material.
Your toughest player is a 5'5" mosquito who everyone in the league despises.
I'm sorry to see Tochett go, probably the Canucks' biggest loss...but trade Hughes while his value is high (he is elite of the elite, no doubt there) and bring in some true leadership...bring in some MEN.
There are still good pieces in Van, but I see next to no leadership in anyone.

I mean, we're still better than an organization that employs someone that condones and covers up SA.

Is this another Softwood alt, or someone from Alberta with shockingly similar logic and intelligence?

Tocchet gone bothers me not in the slightest. He’s overrated & bounced around with a few teams. He didn’t develop talent. He won the Jack Adams due to the roster having career years & couldn’t keep it on the tracks. Shelf life.
Canucks need fresh blood & new innovative coaching not retreads.
David Carle?
Manny?

Sorry man, but every word of this is a crock. He finished with the 2nd best points percentage of any Coach in the history of the team 0.608. Led us to the best season since 2011 and 3rd best of all time. One of three Canucks Coaches to ever win the Jack Adams. Still finished this season with the 4th best points total since 2011.
The shitshow that was this season falls more on the players involved and management. I'm glad he got out. He's a Coach. Not a babysitter.

Not disagreeing but he was in the right place at the right time. The shltshow was what it was & still more work to go.
I like RT but more went into it than only him. If he wants to bolt it’s his choice not to stick it out. As for blame I start with EP & it goes from there.

I wonder if we could do that lol - Jkuzzi
DP so I'll add this. Hughes won the Norris trophy the year prior to this one, and he was arguably even better this year aside from the injury.
He was also surrounded by a dumpster fire. He is one of the very best players in the game. Dobson is good, and I wanted him at the draft but he is no Quinn Hughes.

Exactly. NYI wants Hughes idk if they have the assets to offer up. NJD makes the most sense with plenty to package up.

Don’t want it but think it’s bound to happen Hughes will be traded. The past shltstorm of a season means big changes are not done. Too bad EP wasn’t the 1st to go & now likely to end up being the only remaining core piece left.

Hughes for Mercer/Silayev/Gritsyuk/1st - Nighthawk
I would rather they keep Hughes, obviously, and re-sign him... but if he's made it clear he wants to leave I'd trade him this summer for a larger return. Could help reset and rebalance the team.
Hughes 50% retained for Nemec/Mercer/top prospect/1st

I chose not to retain knowing others would do so. Open to it for the right offer. Moving on to EP to complete the retool.
If you guys are trading Hughes, Devils aren't even close to the best option. As a centre is needed, maybe some type of deal with Columbus is a better option, they have 2 1st and a nice young prospect centre in Cayden Lindstrom.
Just using CBJ as an example, as Devils aren't the only team out there
