More money in the pockets of rich executives. Yay. I'm sure normal people really care about this news deeply. Definitely worth a "major news conference".
It was never going to be hockey ops related. You don’t give that much lead time for hockey related news as there will be leaks. Business related items such as this would be. I would say the same as to what MS suggested earlier that when to finalize the practice facility they would put out a similar press release.People understand that it's important to their business. it's just not particularly interesting to have a "major announcement" to say that everything is saying the same.
I don't know what people were expecting though. It was teased a bit last night by PJ/Dhaliwal that media stuff was the announcement and the only thing that would get announced here in regards to that is an extension with Rogers.
What is the announcement was team sold....to the Estate of Michael Heisley.In order of awesomeness
1. TEAM SOLD!!!!
2. Francesco stepping down
3. New arena
4. Sportsnet gone
5. Ticket/beer price reductions

People here are just hoping and praying for a shakeup at the Canucks ownership level with FA. As much as we want it, I’m not expecting it barring something terrible like Sarver of the Suns to Synder of the Commanders level of terrible that is in direct relation to the nhl team.
sweet, our child abusing owner will have the finest legal team in civil courtFor all you donkeys who are playing this down as no big deal, this is by far the biggest income generator for the team next to ticket sales. Its likely more than 90% of the teams in the league get for the same items. I would guess only Toronto, Montreal and the Rangers get more.
I prefer to look at it as about half the player's salaries.sweet, our child abusing owner will have the finest legal team in civil court
that was never gonna be an issue, but were it to be an issue it would be a good one as it would suggest ownership change if the aquilinis could no longer afford to operate the canucks competitivelyI prefer to look at it as about half the player's salaries.
Very cool.For all you donkeys who are playing this down as no big deal, this is by far the biggest income generator for the team next to ticket sales. Its likely more than 90% of the teams in the league get for the same items. I would guess only Toronto, Montreal and the Rangers get more.
Sportsnet product is ass.Really a shame, the Sportsnet product has really withered on the vine sans competition and they have never come near the heights of peak 1040, in my opinion.
The Vancouver sports media landscape will remain ultra bland, with obligatory “national” programming, for another decade at least. Probably forever.
f*** Rogers tbh. Worst corporation in Canada and possibly the world.
News that Aquillini gothis dogneutered would have been more interesting than this.

The new seats will project ads visible to tv viewers using innovative radioactive technologies that render organic material transparent.Pfff, watch we just go full blown corporate and have sections in white and red forming Rogers logo's all over the arena.
I don’t know… Bell is really bad!!! Telus isn’t that great either, their now charging the credit card fees to their customers it’s a 3 headed monster we have in Canada
Your sleep is on you homie.I couldn’t sleep last night. Too much anxiety.
I’m glad today brought good news. Nobody needs the panic attacks and depression that would come with the arena having a different name.
I don’t follow the business side, but I do appreciate it. For ten years at least we won’t have a repeat of letting three major peaces go because of a fragile economic state…For all you donkeys who are playing this down as no big deal, this is by far the biggest income generator for the team next to ticket sales.
