With the exception of Gaudette, it seems most flourish when they leave this team^
Lots of former Canuck content in that clip.
Epp used the phrase "hostile media"
They should just replace all the local media with Toronto guys.Is Vancouver media any more hostile than Toronto or Montreal? I doubt it. I will say that Canucks twitter is very active and it can be pretty rough on there.
Exactly. Players will go where the money is. Hence Edmonton actually being able to sign anyone.What I will say is people said for years nobody wanted to sign in Toronto because media/fans/waaah etc. and Toronto has been able to sign/keep basically any player they've wanted in the last 6 years save Steven Stamkos (which, in all fairness, was delivered maybe the worst free agent pitch in the history of sports).
There's nothing about the Canucks, the city of Vancouver or the local media right now that would stop a player from wanting to play here except the losing. That was true about Toronto for a decade and it's true about Vancouver today.
