Another week, another mailbag. Let’s see what you wonderful people asked this week! Who do you buyout with a league wide Compliance/amnesty buyout if there were one. Is it automatically Eriksson based on contract or do you take away a redundancy of Sutter? Or someone else.. — Jacob Calvert (@CanuckCalvert) June 13, 2020 I try…
Another week, another mailbag. Let’s see what you wonderful people asked this week! What have been your best memories with @CoryHergott during your time working with him? What do you make of the re seeding as opposed to a bracket for the NHL playoffs? — Joshua Griffith (@JoshuaGriffith0) June 6, 2020 My best memory with…

Right from when I accepted the role of Managing Editor, I was immediately looking forward to the day I got to hit publish on a Monday Mailbag. For those that don’t know, you can follow me on Twitter @QuadreIli, and submit your mailbag questions when I put out the tweet (typically on Saturdays). With that,…
Quinn Hughes was simply remarkable this year for the Vancouver Canucks. He’s a Calder Trophy favourite and would be a shoo-in to win the award if not for an almost equally impressive rookie defenceman, Cale Makar.
