Another source said management is looking to “get rid of the emotionally soft, diva, drama-type, cancerous players, without doing a traditional rebuild.”

I wasn't overly impressed with the kid this season. But Seattle really sucked.

If he doesn’t work out in a top six role his size and skill-set won’t transition well into a bottom six role. Just my opinion. I’d like to see the Canucks take a swing at someone with as high a ceiling as possible.

The Canucks need to get bigger and quicker, throughout their system, if they can’t get a 6’1” or taller centerman, get a heavier winger with some quickness or a dman with top four potential.

Kashawn Aitcheson
Jack Nesbit
Justin Carbonneau
Roger McQueen

**three Canadians and one guy from Quebec**

Fun stat. Of the 16 goals scored so far in the finals, a Canadian has registered a point on all but 1. The Seth Jones goal from Luostarinen and Schmidt.

Marinade on that for a minute boys.

Some noise on X about Boeser heading to the Islanders, actually heading everywhere, but Vancouver. Perhaps a reunion with Horvat?

I hope so! Good riddance

No argument from me. He’s not worth 8 million dollars a year.

If it’s a good trade, I’m more than happy with that.

Same, average draft and it’s their main trade chip so it’s as good as gone

They’re seemingly disinterested in the combine so they probably already have a deal worked out involving the pick.

I haven't found anywhere that's what his height and weight are.

I kept seeing 5’11” so I assumed he was 5’10” - his official height and weight for the 2025 combine is 5’11.25” 183 lbs.

Canucks only have 2 maybe 3 Canadians? Not a good recipe for success.

That's a list of participants that was put out on June 1st. When they were tested today.
Most were about the same though. The hockey news says they are going to put out the official results for that tomorrow.

Those guys have some rankings that differ quite a bit from consensus.

I think he’s lower down the list than bear, reschny and a handful of other guys where we pick imo.
