Is this a real site? Is this a real story? Did Boeser really turn down 50 million from 2 time SC champs, I’m not buying it but what the (frank) do I know.

Idk if a real site or not but I believe he is loyal. The band is back together as was my guess only minus Suter. Opens the door for a prospect if no trade coming.

It might be a good year to add a center near the deadline. They need some internal growth at the position.

Coming off a Calder Cup winning season there may be some options but the only one with real scoring potential is Raty IMO. It really depends on how Petey and Chytl handle the top 2 spots as to how quickly a C needs to be added.

It's funny, I'd love for them to get a young center to help grow with the team (Rossi is young at 23), and when we talk about Raty he's only 22. Still has runway left on him.

From Foote:

Since being promoted by Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin on May 14, replacing Rick Tocchet after the National Hockey League’s 2024 coach of the year chose to leave the organization after a season of turmoil, Foote has been quietly busy.

He built a new coaching staff, adding experienced assistants Kevin Dean, Brett McLean and Scott Young. But his main focus has been communicating with players.

Soon after he was hired, Foote met in Detroit with captain Quinn Hughes, goalie Thatcher Demko and alternate captain Elias Pettersson, who flew in from Sweden on his own time and short notice. Foote has conducted Zoom meetings with the Canucks’ larger leadership group.

There will be more virtual meetings this summer.

“It's not magic dust; it is a process,” Foote explained. “That group, the leadership group ... they're going to take care of themselves. It's their room, right? They've got to hold each other accountable. They've got to push each other.

“They've got to take care of each other and make sure that they support each other. Like, there shouldn't be a young guy that sits in his room alone after he's called up. They've got to take care of that guy. If a guy's not pushing the pace in practice, well, you push each other. Joe Sakic was the hardest worker (in Colorado). You hear Sidney Crosby's the hardest worker. Guys are going to go rogue once in a while ... but the group has got to reel them in. It's their team, right? That's got to come from within. They've got to change that part, and I think they believe that.”

...



Foote will spend the summer planning for training camp and next season. And he’ll continue to bring his leaders together and empower them to take ownership.

“Guys aren't far off, in my opinion, from doing that,” he said. “They believe in it. Listen, it's so simple: they're going to take care of each other because if I have to do it, I'm sure they're not going to be too happy with that. It's a good group; they care about each other.”
