Yup that’s why the Alberta teams dropped outI believe the issue is that other teams wanted to host it and we wouldn’t let them
meh, we wouldn't have much of group to send anyway.

A rebuilding team pulling out of a prospects tournament because they don’t have enough prospects to ice a team is one of the more amusing things I’ve heard in a while.
Hey, ice a crap team, employ incompetents to run it and try to gaslight the media and fans for five years about how great it really is? Eventually the fans stop buying what you're selling. What you get.Wouldn't shock me if 'penny pinching' has something to do with it. After all, they've had zero playoff revenues for six of the last seven seasons. The 'sell-out streak' at Rogers Arena ended a long time ago, and in recent seasons it looks like they've been 'papering the house' for some games.
In terms of the salary cap, they're already in bottom third of the league. And didn't I read somewhere that the Canucks are operating with one of the thinnest hockey ops departments in the league? Might also be the reason why they won't be replacing Linden as team president.
Before our very eyes, the Canucks have morphed into another budget-conscious, 'small-market' NHL franchise.
