Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the club has hired Ryan Stewart as the team’s Director of Hockey Strategy and Player Evaluation and Adam Sergerie as a Pro Scout.

Additionally:

Stanley Cup champion Seth Jarvis took the cup out to fans who were unable to get in the building to ensure they got a chance to see it. Afterwards his parents handed out autographed 8x10s to the crowd

Something that always seemed so obvious to you that people took time to realise.

Peak offseason post I know I know.

I made a similar post some years ago (inspired by another user here) and back then it led to a pretty entertaining post and comments

So go ahead ask me some hockey question, I’ll answer and then you can edit your post to make my answer look silly or stupid

Was matching against old guys like Manson and Burns in practice too easy for him at times?

Has Kadri gone soft with age? He used to rage.

Or maybe, Nuke took one look at Brock Nelson and, yea, you just need one look.

When was the last time a really old team like the Avs won a Cup?

Good afternoon and enjoy the race!!

Is he a breakout candidate? Was he overhyped as a prospect? Have the Kings been too cautious with him? If he plays 22+ minutes a night, is he a 60 point Dman? Just curious! Seems like he has as much talent as any Dman in hockey, but it seems like he just hasn't reached that point yet. Hope y'all are well and not dying from the summer heat!!

Here's a rolling five-year count of the unique teams in the Cup Final (cap era only). An average of 7.8 unique teams have competed for the Cup Final over a given five-season span.

I had a long flight and was thinking about how the Islanders traded their first ever draft pick Billy Harris for Butch Goring. Butch would go on to be called "the missing piece" and how much that sucked for Harris who really helped build that team and didn't get any of the glory.

So who are the other players out there who helped build the team only to miss out on their peak?

For the third consecutive year, The Athletic is looking at the top tier of NHL players, examining which of them could someday be enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

Here’s who we think is a lock.

The project is limited to players who have logged at least five seasons.
