“You know what really won over some players in Vancouver? One player said to me today there was something else he did that scored with them. Remember when Carson Soucy got suspended in the playoffs? They said he really aggressively defended Soucy in the hearing. He challenged NHL Player Safety a couple of times. And it got back to the other players”
He said this in the context of players re-signing.

The fact that Soucy was the ONLY player suspended in that scrum tells me the league’s priority. They don’t care about protecting the players unless if it’s McDavid. Good on Tocchs!
Also related to the Canucks:
Friedman says Reinhart is staying in Florida, deal is done at around 9-9.5M
Also says most teams believe Guentzel is staying in Carolina and they want to get a deal done before the Draft so he thinks Canucks re-signing their guys might be connected to them knowing that already
The locker room has never been tighter, and it’s all thanks to Tocc and the culture he brought in
I will run through a wall for Tocchet. That’s what a coach needs to do for his players.
Tocchet would scrap the Parros and the DOPS.
Why don’t we just keep Lindholm then?
I hope they don’t spend just to spend. If there’s really no decent improvement just save the cap space for a deal down the line. Never know when someone you like might become available because of personal reasons or just change of scenery reasons.
What an absolute g
Good, everyone knows damn well the only reason Soucy even got that suspension in the first place was because it was McDavid. Glad to hear people in the organization called that bullshit out.
Tocchet is a terrific leader. He’s like the dad everyone needed.
