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)

Elliotte on Hughes trade:

"I think teams are talking with the Canucks about it."

(32 Thoughts)

Elliotte with the bombshell:

"I think there are talks going on around Hughes. It's just difficult to handicap how long it's going to take or where it's going to end up."

(32 Thoughts)

Moj bomb:

"I’m hearing that if this slide continues, you could see some changes within the team’s management group after Christmas."

Jim Rutherford on Quinn Hughes:

“I 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.

Hearing it's preventative maintenance

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.

Lawsuit claims some Aquilini grandchildren cut out of Canucks family fortune The Aquilini family through the Aquilini Investment Group controls a business empire across Canada and the United States.

Who else is excited for the #Canucks to start the season?

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? 🤔"

#Canucks

Luongo on Sportsnet:

I love Vancouver too

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.

(DFO pod)

Dhaliwal: So many people around the NHL are baffled by why Allvin didn't go to the NHL combine...A lot of people are really shocked and surprised he didn't go to Buffalo.

(Halford & Brough)

Dhaliwal said the deal happened quickly within the past hour.

So 100% what happened 😂😂

Fire Rutherford

Fire Allvin

Fire Foote

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.

Hinting at Tocchet going to Philly

Foote would go down as the worst coach in franchise history.

Canucks: Aquilini family confirms team is 'not for sale' Canucks say Paolo Aquilini has resigned from his positions with the team

"Paolo has resigned from his positions with the team and will be leaving the ownership group"

Canucks ownership denies the team is for sale though.

Sat reporting the team is NOT for sale according to Canucks sources

This next part isn't from Kyper but these rumors have been out there for years.

Rumored issues with any potential sale in the past is they don't want to sell the arena/land just the team. No one is buying majority of the team without the arena.

Kyper mentions rumors about the Aquilini's looking to sell part or the majority of the team.

Kyper mentions Luigi, Paolo and Roberto have no active role in the hockey club and may have grown tired of the constant drama surrounding the team.

He's gone. Already said that months ago. It's an open secret behind the scenes

New Gary Mason column dropped.

The part about Hughes 💀💀

"Maybe it wasn’t because he saw the writing on the wall with Quinn Hughes – that he concluded the chance of the superstar agreeing to an extension with the team was slim to none."

Elliotte on Boeser saying it's unlikely that he'll be back:

"I think he's heartbroken"

(32 pod)

In the biggest game of the season Pettersson with a late tying goal and assist.

Then scores a huge shootout goal.

Showing up in big moments and saving their season for now.

No "A" for Boeser tonight.

This management team loves nothing more than publicly shittin on him.

Boeser is all class and everyone loves him.

It's crazy they treat him this way.

For the record I *did* tell EP40 this morning to score a goal
