FWIW Lindenning said on record that they didn't have either Hischier or Patrick as their 1OA so they likely would have traded down to 3/4

he was a hero here but now everyone hates him, probably just wanted to get out while he could

" Everyone hates him"? Sure thing. Maybe some keyboard warriors who think they are the reincarnation of Bill Torre but I think you will find the majority of Canucks fans still have him on their top 5 list.
