The thought of Mendoza and a new HC has me more excited for the #RaiderNation future than I've been in a long time.
Please, just please don't royally screw up the coaching hire.

Here's a crazy Kiefer Sherwod stat for you.
Sherwood played just 122 games in a #Canucks sweater but leaves the team sixth all-time in hits with 672!
Granted NHL only started tracking hits in 07-08 but still pretty wild!

Kiefer Sherwood was the obvious first domino to fall. It just made too much sense.
But now the #Canucks have some tough decisions to make. Who goes next?
Garland? Kane? Hronek?

#Canucks pro scouting hit a home run with Sherwood in the 2024 summer.
Delivered 36 goals in 122 games, cost just $1.5 mill, was electric to watch every night, and then org flipped him for multiple draft picks.

The Sharks were already one of the most fun teams to watch and now with Kiefer Sherwood in the mix, they might be the most exciting group.
A++ league pass team.

#Canucks now have four picks in the first two rounds of this summer's draft. There's a very strong chance the four picks will land in the top 50.
That's a great chance to inject some young talent into this organization.

The #Canucks leading goal scorer is now Elias Pettersson with 13 because Sherwood got traded.
Pettersson is tied with James van Riemsdyk and Blake Coleman for 93rd among all skaters in goals.

Cole Clayton has 257 career AHL games under his belt. Should be some defensive help for Abbotsford but not a significant prospect.

Is Elias Pettersson back to his All-Star form?
I took a deep dive into his game so far this season. Do the numbers show he's getting closer to being the Petey of old?

Some fans are ready to say "Petey is back."
Not me.
I took a look at why it's still too early to say Petey is back, but also why that doesn't mean the #Canucks shouldn't celebrate the encouraging progress.

#Canucks love to give bottom-six guys playing well multi-year extensions.
Happy for Linus, but feels like Canucks should be looking for the next one instead of committing to higher $$$.
He's 26 and shooting 17.6%. Solid player but not exactly irreplaceable.

I think Tocchet is a good NHL coach who can raise a team’s floor dramatically.
I’m not convinced his style wins Stanley Cups in today’s game and bc of that, I think his departure probably helps the #Canucks in the long run, even if it’s created some short term pain.
