Does anyone else here care about Braeden Cootes?

Toronto Blue Jays fans celebrating the win

I’ve already heard two Drake songs at Yankee Stadium tonight 👀

Ex- #Canucks goalie Arturs Silovs puts up a shutout in his first game with his new team.

It's the first regular season shutout of Silovs' NHL career, but he does have one from the 2024 playoffs with the Canucks.

#NYR fans don’t seem to be loving new captain J.T. Miller’s first game so far.

#Canucks fans: What’s your bold prediction for this season and what’s one thing you know will happen for sure?

The NHL is back tonight! Congrats to everyone for making it through what was a looonng offseason (at least for #Canucks fans).

I'm fully on the Jays bandwagon but John Schneider needs to change his watch

The Blue Jays are electric

The one safe space for #BlueJays fans in NYC for this series.

#Canucks demote Sasson and now need to cut two of:

Willander
Mancini
EPD
Bains (waivers needed)
Karlsson (waivers needed)
Cootes
Lekkerimäki
Räty (waivers needed)
PO Joseph (waivers needed)

Who are you picking?

#Canucks still need to cut three players, likely from this group.

Willander
Mancini
EPD
Bains (waivers needed)
Sasson
Karlsson (waivers needed)
Cootes
Lekkerimäki
Räty (waivers needed)
PO Joseph (waivers needed)

Who would your three cuts be?

Nice to see a good turnout for the Terry Fox run this morning in Central Park.

Shoutout to @TheCanuckNYC for the coffee

Will we remember this preseason as the #Canucks kids coming out party in three years?

Cootes, Lekkerimäki, Mancini are obvious standouts but DPetey, Willander, plus the AHL guys like Bains, Karlsson, Sasson too on another level.

It's soooo early but #Canucks 2025 draft is intriguing at this point.

Cootes and Medvedev impressed a lot, and a few of the later picks seem interesting.

Looks like a pair of World Cup Final tickets has already sold for $10k each.

The cheapest pair starts at $5k+ each.

Thinking the same

I've got first pick in my fantasy hockey draft tonight. Any advice #Canucks fans?

I finished near the bottom in the regular season of this league last year and am still hearing about it because of my job.

#Canucks fans: Pick one to start, one to cut, and one to trade from these three players if it were up to you.

- Victor Mancini
- Tom Willander
- Elias Pettersson (D)

I'm interested to see what people are thinking as the season approaches.

Take preseason stats with a grain of salt but through two games, Elias Pettersson has been looking more like his old self.

- 1 G + 1 A
- 6 shots
- #Canucks outshooting opponents 13-8 during his 5-on-5 minutes

Again, it doesn't mean much, but it's a good sign.

It might be preseason but that doesn't mean Quinn Hughes is taking it easy.

The #Canucks captain had 1 G, 2 A, 3 blocked shots, was +4 and played 21:31 last night against the Flames.

I've clipped together his goal and assists below.

Would you have Braeden Cootes in your opening night #Canucks lineup?

Braeden Cootes has impressed everyone so far and has a chance at making the opening night lineup.

He looks like one of their top four centres right now. But even if he can help the team in the short term, are NHL games the best thing for his development?

#Canucks captain Quinn Hughes is now paid the least of all his brothers.

Jack = $8 million
Luke = $9 million
Quinn = $7.85 million

Quinn's next contract should change that.

#Canucks have fallen five spots in franchise valuation among NHL teams to 18th per @sportico.bsky.social

The organization is worth $1.87 billion, an 8% increase over last year. That's the third smallest year-over-year jump of any NHL team.

#Canucks rumoured summer trade target Marco Rossi is thriving on the top line in preseason for the Minnesota Wild.

#Canucks fans: Do you have any burning questions ahead of the final two preseason games?

If I get enough, I'll answer them in a column on my Substack.

Pettersson's $11.6 million AAV is quickly being dwarfed.
