Quick Canucks thoughts
-Likely return of assistant coaches
-Positive comments from GM JB on return of Ian Clark
-Do you want the Sedins "mentoring" this management group?
-Likely 4-5 more years of flat cap - what that could mean for Pettersson and Hughes and other RFA extensions
The Maple Leafs collapse vs Montreal
-This is not on Shanahan or Dubas. This is on the players and they have to own it. The roster was talented, balanced and deep. The players just underperformed.
Mark Scheifele hit
Too often players egregiously cross the line - this was not one of those times. The result was bad but Mark Scheifele didn't do that much wrong based on the rules. The NHL has to take accountability for their vague rules so the players know where the line is and what is and isn't allowed in the game.
Is Morgan Reilly joining Seth Jones on the potential trade block?
