Mr. Canucklehead
Kitimat Canuck
Kuzmenko:
-doesn't see a trade
-when he talks to both sides, the word "patience" comes up a lot
-teams have called on Kuzmenko but it's information gathering
-Milstein talks to Allvin and Rutherford on a daily basis; lots of mutual respect
-Kuzmenko knows why he's in the Tocchet's doghouse
-many years ago there was a player who's relationship with the coach was so bad that the PR department was telling him when he was a healthy scratch
-Tocchet's communication skills are very good; no grey area
-in order for a trade to happen, would have to get really bad
-break after San Jose will be good for Kuzmenko
Joshua:
-Ryan Johnson identified Joshua as a player he would go after when the Canucks & Blues shared a farm team
-had strong interest from a lot of teams as a UFA
-his agent lives in Vancouver and suggested the Canucks were the right spot for him to get a regular NHL spot
-everything he's been told, Joshua really likes it in Vancouver
-thinks term will be important
Zadorov:
-rumour is he asked for a really big term number from the Flames
Blueger:
-a tonne of teams looking at Blueger
-a lot of pissed of teams when he picked the Canucks
Myers:
-can see the Canucks not trading Myers
TDL:
-first time since 2019 they will be buyers and not sellers
-still have interest in Chris Tanev
Juulsen:
-Canucks are liking what they see
-got his housing letter from management; was previously living in a hotel
-everyone is happy with him
Everything here is good, but the housing letter piece makes me chuckle.
“Okay, instead of Surrey/Abbotsford, get a place in Vancouver.”
