Speculation: Canucks Call Media Announcement At 1 AM for Sunday At Noon (UPD: Media availability re: Zadorov trade)

[theguardianII]

1 AM, such an odd time to post that there will be an announcement.

They have cap space, roster spots and Hoglander was benched half way through the third period.

Definitely not something planned and something waiting on NHL staff to process in the morning.

Won't be Bear, he hasn't declared himself ready yet and even it is they could wait to call for a scrum. Ditto with EP if signing an extension.

It must be something out of left field that was accepted or offered last night, maybe during the game.

Irwin sent down earlier.

I predicted another deal soon but this is a surprise.

So I looked at teams in cap and playing trouble, Tampa stands out and Cernak was in the rumour mill a year ago.

Cap space fits

Probably just signed Bear.

 

[centipede2233]

Yeah I’ll go with the bear signing

 

[Mrfenn92]

Press conference for them announcing they’ve trade Noah Juulsen to officially have no Canadian born players on the team.

 

[rypper]

It'll be Bear.

Canucks are celebrating first nations night on the 5th and probably want Bear to be a part of it.

When was the last time a team announced a press conference to announce a trade?

This media call likely has nothing to do with a roster move.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Ethan Bear signing?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Pettersson extension

 

[Mike Jones]

1 am seems like a strange time to let people know you're going to sign somebody for the rest of the season.

 

[Nucker42]

You have a link? Pretty sure it’s just a media availability likely to speak about Zadorov.

[Jumptheshark]

Signing their new d man to a long term deal

 

[Cogburn]

1 am noon?

It's five o'clock somewhere.

 

[Nanuuk]

Internet chatter has said Kessel has purchased a house in Vancouver. Not sure why Van would want him though.

When you are canadas team you can tweet at whatever time you want

 

[PuckG]

Stanley Cup Parade announcement incoming.

Last night I figured it’s Bear but after getting some sleep, I think it’s just about the Zadorov trade.

A Pettersson extension would be a press conference and this is just a media scrum before a practice. Management wasn’t available to media after this trade but was a day earlier for the Beauvillier trade. This information got out because of the CanucksPR Twitter account which is an official team account. I’m not sure if it’s actually meant just for the media but I assume they get the info beforehand and it’s mostly so the public has a bit of an idea about the team’s off days.

There’s a chance it’s Bear. I’ve been speculating that they want to sign him before their First Nations Celebration Night (Tuesday) and they sent down Irwin before yesterday’s game for no real reason.

I think majority of Canucks fans can give a rats ass about the whole ‘Canada’s Team’ moniker.

It’s his Bat Signal. And it is funny!

If this is a press conference that Tyler Myers is traded then that’s a win.

Extension?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Extension?

Wow, you’re cold bro. Cold.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Discussing Zadorov trade or possibly signing of Ethan Bear would be my guesses.
