Although they’ve run a much tighter ship, leak-wise, than fans of the Vancouver Canucks are used to, POHO Jim Rutherford and GM Patrik Allvin have let their general managerial intentions be known to the public. They’re in Vancouver for the long haul, and are set on building the Canucks up into a long-term contender. To…
It doesn’t take much reading between the lines to know that the Vancouver Canucks are exploring a trade of J.T. Miller to the highest bidder. Jim Rutherford on re-signing J.T Miller – That is the goal, we will see where it goes. He has a lot of good hockey left in him. We are in…
The Quest for the Holy Grail. The Hunt for Red October. Thanos collecting the Infinity Stones. The Vancouver Canucks looking for a top-pairing-quality right-handed defender.

When Tucker Poolman signed with the Vancouver Canucks on July 28, 2021, there w a number of people around the league who assumed that the $2.5 million price tag they initially read was his compensation for the entirety of the contract.
