Just spoke with Jim Rutherford. Column coming shortly.
Confirms the team's four UFAs are available for a trade.
Even said "rebuild" himself -- though with a laugh and not as a definitional word

Apologies to all Geelong fans. I sat down to watch just after half time and well here we are. @robthehockeyguy.bsky.social told me before I got here it was an ‘instant classic’

When will we see Thomas Müller in a Whitecaps' jersey? I have been told to circle the date for the home match against Houston Dynamo on August 17.
As for his jersey number, I was told that will be a surprise but that they have something in mind. #VWFC

Everyone is hopeful that Thomas Müller to VWFC will be done and announced in the next 48 hours.
All hinges on personal marketing rights at the moment. Shouldn't be an issue but takes time sorting with the time difference.

Echoing and extending on what Dhali and Drancer have put together: sounds like Canucks' head coaching job is coming down to Adam Foote or Manny Malhtora, with Malhotra the slight favourite.

Vancouver Canucks would be foolish to sell low on Soucy | Sports
J.T. Miller is gone but trade rumours persist for the Vancouver Canucks. Now it's Carson Soucy getting his name mentioned.

Miller not at dice and ice. ‘Food poisoning’ the reason
Now there is plausible deniability in this because there were a bunch of people in the arena who fell ill the last few days. I was one. Sat and Riccio. Heard a couple dozen others. Pre game meal on Thursday the suspect. Not sure about players.

Is there a trade brewing with the Vancouver Canucks? Three NHL general managers are watching Abbotsford's game in Laval.

Another team I wonder about is Detroit.
Stevie Y surely sees a need to make another move and I'm told would likely be interested in one of the Canucks' centres.
No idea if Canucks really want to deal either. But Patrik Allvin also admitted to me he's not hanging up on other GMs. Big offer needed.

Pettersson shouted "read the room" back at me after he left in a huff.
Still amazed no one apparently told him what his captain and coach talked about earlier today.

The reason it's taking so long to come up with a Filip Hronek injury timeline is because the team is seeking multiple opinions on the injury.
Timeline is very different with surgery and no surgery.
Either way, he will be out a while.

How Sportsnet has covered the Canucks games this week tells you everything about how little they care about the product.
Leafs highlights to lead the intermission. Endless doses of Luke Gazdic...when there *is* a panel at all.

Went to a #Canucks game 18 years ago today. Vancouver beat the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1. Josh Green got the winner.
I remember this because it was my first date with my now wife.
