Now that Quinn Hughes is named Captainā¦.
30 goals for Elias Pattersson in 40 games this year.
50 in 60 games.
Signing $ 12 million for 6 years extension in 2024-2025
No offense to Hughes, he'll probably be a good C but, J.T has the experience to be the better choice imo.
Did political views make the decision as usual these days?
I never could see EP40 as captain. He just didnāt seem thrilled about it. Frankly itās more important that Hughes has better ties to the Team and city than Pettersson. Hughes as said several times heād love to play with his brothers. Itās clear to me Pettersson is going to chase the money and the wins more than ties to this town.
As an aside if we canāt sign Pettersson could he be traded and to whom ? For What back?
Would love to see podz in the bumper on pp1 out of the gate. Get the kid his mojo back!
you don't want to name a player the captain when he is ready to bolt if the team isn't successful this year. miller or hughes were the definitive choices.
The dry spell Beauvilier had came as they took him off the top line and surrounded him with lesser line mates but as was mentioned he did snap out of it even though he wasnāt used in his best spot. I frankly loved what he did on the top line and every guy they used that replaced him actually kinda sucked despite playing Pettersson ,mind you they were guys that arenāt even in the league right now.
JT Miller mentor for team?
captain rallies team defense?
Congrats Huges . But i know Petterson is looking to get out of the gong show that has happened since he has arrived to this town . And i don't blame the kid . Vancouver i cannot see being more that a mediocre team and getting a 12-18 draft pick for the next 5 years atleast . And having a JT contract that ends when . And how Treovor Linden left . To how Bruce there it is . And even how Bo Horvat was handled only shows how bad Ownership And upper management is . And Vancouver Bottom line is the next Winnipeg /Calgary franchise to have NHL players list Vancouver as a no trade place to play . Huges if you studied the Announcement video looked tired and a bit out of place looking to say the right thing . Anyway Quinn if your reading this you can request a trade too .
Um Hughes is signed for 4 more years
Hughes is a player that the Canucks franchise have never had before. Vancouver has never had a defenceman who was even close to how good he is and he's not even 25 yet. I just hope that when they continue to surround their young captain with some veterans they don't suddenly pull them all away, like they did to Horvat after their 2020 playoff run.
no way blake just asked if peteys feelings are hurt over hughes captaincy ššš he was given every opportunity and said he didn't want to be captain
Its good. Let petey focus on the game.
Hughes will be a really good captain, but Pettersson is my guy because he is the guy that could drag the team with him. I dont think Hughes can do that as a defender
Quinn's a great choice while under an awesome set of coaches Tochett, Foote, Gonchar Yeo and Clark. Unlike Horvat being mentored under a pussified coach in Travis Green whom the Vancouver media adored…š¤¦āā
