You have to listen to Halford and Borough's 2nd hour of the show as a podcast. They have Frank Seravalli on the show to defend himself, Brough respectfully pushed back and Frank had a meltdown.

This was unbelievable radio and we should all listen to it. Brough is the best of them #Canucks #Olympics

Immensely sad to hear Jim Robson has died.

He was truly the voice of my youth. Many talk about β€˜Greg Adams! Greg Adams!’ but I watched that game on TV so my memory of his was calling the Canucks’ OT win in β€˜91 pushed them into the playoffs.

And as a writer he was always so kind and supportive.

Canucks luck to the extreme.

Taylor: If he wants to move it along quickly because of his age, that's wrong!

Dhaliwal: Jim has won Stanley Cups, he's one of the best executives of all-time.

Where are the Abbotsford Canucks' championship rings? Patrick Johnston: When you win a championship, you get a ring. The Canucks are, at best, dragging their feet on this file. Read more.

Ridiculous story. What a way to treat your players.

Canucks: How Jim Rutherford convinced ownership to rebuild Last week they traded Quinn Hughes, the best defenceman in team history, and managed to recoup one of the best hauls in team history.

Did I put Botch's concept of needing an army of guys to Jim Rutherford? Sure did.

Did he agree? Sure did.

Elliotte didn't say this but after listening it's clear it's a matter when not if with a Hughes trade.

Canucks are currently talking about a Hughes trade with multiple teams (including Wings and Devils)

Jim Rutherford on Quinn Hughes:

β€œI believe Quinn and his agent are aware of the direction we want to go. And they’re aware of the direction they want to go. Everybody wants to play on a winning team. But there’s different reasons why people make decisions"

Time to trade: Jim Rutherford says Canucks need to get younger Jim Rutherford says the Vancouver Canucks' unrestricted free agents are now available for trade.

"Use whatever word people like, whether it's somewhat of a rebuild, not a full blown rebuild, but a rebuild-retool, whatever." -- JR said this to me unprompted.

Canucks GM Patrik Allvin tells me neither Conor Garland nor Quinn Hughes are travelling with the team. Canucks flying to St. Louis today.

Allvin still hopeful Hughes can join the team in either Minnesota or Nashville.

Dhaliwal: "Canucks number 1 priority on July 1st wasn't Brock Boeser, it was Dvorak. They got into a bidding war with Philly for Dvorak...Don't kid yourself Canucks number 1 option wasn't Boeser. They went to Boeser once they lost Dvorak"

Elliotte was asked about the Evander Kane situation over the weekend where he was allegedly attacked/punched at Pierre's.

He said he doesn't want to comment on it right now and guess about what happened. Wants to hear all the details first.

3 years ago, Rutherford and Allvin walked into the ashes of Jim Benning's destruction and apparently thought to themselves: "what if we could make this even worse? πŸ€”"

Seravalli: There is an ongoing battle behind the scenes right now between the Aquilini family. It's not over control of the team because Francesco is going to maintain that...They have to buyout Paolo. It has been ongoing. Probably wont get settled until the start of the season.

Hiring Adam Foote will down as one of the worst coaching hires in franchise history.

That doesn't necessarily mean next season will be a disaster. Even Willie D made the playoffs in his first season.

But long-term this is going to be horrible.

Elliotte believes Canucks have interviewed Mitch Love but it was more informal and probably want to meet in person with him when he's available.

He believes Canucks may have interviewed Todd Reirden as well.
