“I wanna quickly discuss Rick Tocchet, because I believe things are happening behind the scenes straight away. I’ve heard that the Canucks have given Rick Tocchet a proposal that there are pretty hopeful about.
And you realize, if you happen to, if you happen to hear Rick Dhaliwal, he’ll be like, the Canucks know the value? The Canucks know the value to sign Rick Tocchet or to get this deal done. Now, I don’t know in the event that they’ve met that price, but I believe they’ve given him a proposal that’s pretty generous of their eyes. And I believe they probably wish to get this wrapped up in the following couple of days, so the top of season presser, they will have Rick Tocchet there signed, sealed and delivered. After which get on to all the opposite things that they must fix.

Now, in the event that they don’t get Rick talk at signed by this end of season presser, each time it’s going to be Friday, Saturday, each time, that’s going to be a a giant thing. And it’s going to be tough for this management group that already has things to cope with.
Like Tom Willander is perhaps a back burner issue straight away, over the following couple of days, right? Like, I’m not suggesting that they don’t care about that, but they wish to get this Rick Tocchet thing done. And a part of the rationale is because they really like Rick Tocchet they usually’ve come out and said, like, we would like Rick Tocchet here. And in the event that they, if he, if he decides to say, ‘Like, yeah, I don’t actually need it. Like, despite the fact that you’ve given me a great offer, not likely digging the vibes here or whatever.’
That’s going to look awful on management, awful and, and like, they’ll must cope with that, after which they’ll must exit and find one other coach. They’ll be like, Okay, well, that is one other thing we got so as to add to our list, and, and, and what’s Quinn Hughes gonna take into consideration that?
Because Quinn Hughes and Rick Tocchet are tied together now because Quinn Hughes has gone out of his strategy to say, “I would like Rick Tocchet back.”
Mike Brough: “Yep.”
Halford: “And if Rick Tocchet says no to the Canucks, he’s also saying no to Quinn Hughes. And you realize, Quinn Hughes is pretty necessary for the Vancouver Canucks over the following two years.”

Brough: “Yep.”
Halford: “They’ve to indicate him that they’ve got what it takes as a corporation to get things done. and to show this team right into a Stanley Cup contender. In the event that they can’t persuade their head coach to remain, what’s that going to say to Quinn Hughes?”
