Chapter 4: Who are the key players the Canucks are considering in the draft?
Preferably not. But you can't rush the process again to say, well, I'm going to make a rash decision that maybe isn't best for what we're trying to accomplish. But I do...
I do want to add, even if it's in, whether it's via trade, via free agency, even if it's a small piece, to start the rollover of people that I think are going to help us short and long-term deliver to the environment we want to build, how we want to play, and all the things that we've already talked about.
Okay, so Filip Hronik. He was asked about Filip Hronik.
Chapter 5: How do mock drafts influence team strategies in the NHL?
And while he didn't speak deeply about Filip Hronik, he did say he hasn't approached any player about waiving his no-trade clause. Now, he didn't say he would never approach a player about waiving his no-trade clause, but what you need to do typically first, well... Not in all cases, I suppose.
But what he's doing is if he's got an offer on the table that he wants to go forward with, then he'll approach the player. But he hasn't gone to Filip Hronik and said, you know, what about this? And what about that? And, you know, I think the word that comes to mind is is balance. He's got to balance a lot of things. The Canucks have a lot of needs. They need draft picks. They need a future.
They also need good veterans to mentor the kids. They need to have patience. Now, that doesn't mean passivity. They also need to take advantage of selling and buying opportunities. It's a balance. And they're in a very tough position. They're in a very difficult position. But what he doesn't want...
is for the Canucks kids to be exposed to just a terrible time next year, and in his words, to have their teeth kicked in.
Yeah, it's something you consider. I've said this, yes, are we in a rebuild, but it's not sell off, get as young as you can, get your teeth kicked in and think that things are just going to naturally happen. You want to insulate players, not just with good players, but with great people. I've been very clear that the people that will walk into these doors are great people that
have the engine, that have the professionalism and the room awareness that we're looking for. So it's not just about strip it down as fast as you can and it'll automatically grow on its own. That's not the approach here, but it's something that is in consideration of every do. When you're subtracting, what are you truly subtracting just besides the hockey player?
Okay, Josh, I've spoken a lot. What stood out to you about RJ's press conference? And feel free to comment on any of the three clips we've already played.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, I don't think a crazy amount stood out. And I think that's by...
plan going according to plan for Ryan Johnson and this management team because they do feel like a very guarded management team and I think we're still trying to like with Jim Rutherford and especially Jim Rutherford it was like ah I kind of know what you're thinking about this player that player or what your plan is going to be and I think we're still trying to get a read on what that's going to be for Ryan Johnson and the Sedins who obviously haven't talked as much
