With the Vancouver Canucks season coming to and end, we present to you our 香蕉视频直播淐anuck Notebook香蕉视频直播� covering a wide variety of topics.

Tocchet香蕉视频直播檚 future: The Canucks do have an option year remaining on head coach Rick Tocchet香蕉视频直播檚 $2.75-million contract and they would love to see him return, but will he? Tocchet will undoubtedly take a few days to decompress and then decide how he wants to proceed.

Many will look at the contract as the deciding factor but it may not be. With possibly options on the table such as the vacancy in Philadelphia, Tocchet probably wants to be certain that his plan for building a team is aligned with the organization香蕉视频直播檚.

As for reaching an extension, Tocchet香蕉视频直播檚 agent is Steve Mountain, who is also the agent for Toronto head coach Craig Berube. Berube has a four-year contract at $4 million per, so expect Tocchet香蕉视频直播檚 new deal with the Canucks to be in that neighborhood.

Changes: Barring something unforeseen, both Brock Boeser and Pius Sutter are set to become unrestricted free agents. For the hockey club, that means replacing 50 goals of production for a team that finished in the bottom third of the league with 236 goals.

The priority for the Canucks this off-season will be to find a top-six centre as well as a top-six winger. The question is what assets are they willing to give up to acquire those pieces? If Tocchet does indeed return, don香蕉视频直播檛 be too shocked if there is another veteran coach added to the mix. I香蕉视频直播檓 also hearing rumblings about some foundational changes within the organization as well. 

Speaking of Boeser: I shared this story on Sportsnet 650 awhile back about Boeser. It was the tail end of the 206-17 season and Boeser had just joined the Canucks after finishing at the University of North Dakota.

Following a game at Rogers Arena, Boeser spent some time with a young boy in a wheelchair. What caught my attention wasn香蕉视频直播檛 that this was a quick photo op but rather Boeser showing a legitimate interest in the kid and spending about 10-15 minutes chatting with him. I just remember thinking to myself at the time 香蕉视频直播渢his kid gets it香蕉视频直播� and I wasn香蕉视频直播檛 mistaken.

I recently shared that story with Boeser during one of my dressing room visits. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 pretty sure that was Cameron,香蕉视频直播� responded Boeser. The fact that Boeser remembered the kid香蕉视频直播檚 name tells you all you need to know about what type of quality human being Brock Boeser is.

What happens with Elias Pettersson 香蕉视频直播� the forward 香蕉视频直播� moving forward: Pettersson香蕉视频直播檚 no movement clause kicks in this summer, so the Canucks will have to decide whether or not they are committed to their $11.6-million man for the next six seasons. Pettersson香蕉视频直播檚 off-season conditioning program last summer didn香蕉视频直播檛 meet the team香蕉视频直播檚 standards and management has hinted that they would like to oversee his summer conditioning program by having Pettersson stay in Vancouver.

香蕉视频直播淭hat香蕉视频直播檚 something we香蕉视频直播檙e obviously going to talk about here when the season is over and have a plan for it. We have the right resources here to help him. Listen, he has the ability to dictate the future, and I'm sure he wants to come back to his normal form and wants to continue to grow and get better. So we have absolutely the commitment and resources here to help him do that,香蕉视频直播� Canucks GM Patrik Allvin recently told Sportsnet香蕉视频直播檚 Iain MacIntyre.

O香蕉视频直播橬eill ends long run: The season finale against the Vegas Golden Knights marked the end of Canucks equipment manager Pat O香蕉视频直播橬eill香蕉视频直播檚 45-year career. O香蕉视频直播橬eill broke into the NHL as an assistant equipment manager with the Winnipeg Jets during the 1980-81 season and joined the Canucks as their head equipment guy prior to the start of the 1989-90 campaign. As a tribute to O香蕉视频直播橬eill the team did a video presentation in the third period which resulted in a standing ovation.

香蕉视频直播淚 call him the Godfather of all the trainers. Any team that we play, there is always three or four players coming down to say hi to him,香蕉视频直播� noted Tocchet. In an ultimate show of respect, the entire Vegas team went over to shake O香蕉视频直播橬eill香蕉视频直播檚 hand after the final horn sounded. In another show of respect, the Canucks players name plates above their stalls were replaced with one representing O香蕉视频直播橬eill. 香蕉视频直播淚 looked at them this morning and I asked who香蕉视频直播檚 that guy? Did they bring someone up and not tell me again,香蕉视频直播� laughed O香蕉视频直播橬eill.

Joshua finishes strong: The 2024-25 season was a grind for Dakota Joshua. Big things were expected from Joshua, who was coming off an 18-goal season which earned him a new four-year deal worth $13 million dollars. Instead, Joshua was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the summer and didn香蕉视频直播檛 make his debut until Nov. 14 against the Islanders. Then he missed 11 games in January with a leg injury.

The good news is that his game picked up in the last few weeks of the season and hopefully is a harbinger of things to come. 香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 nice to get the confidence back. I香蕉视频直播檓 heading into the summer with a lot to prove but knowing I can do it,香蕉视频直播� said Joshua. Asked what he learned about himself this season, Joshua香蕉视频直播檚 eyes welled up and he struggled to maintain his composure. 香蕉视频直播淚 learned a lot as far as how I dealt with adversity. Maybe just realizing the situation that I am in and the life I have lived and what it took to get here and what it will take to keep it going,香蕉视频直播� replied Joshua.

We香蕉视频直播檙e talking about practice? The Canucks remain one of only two teams in the league without a dedicated practice facility. The other team 香蕉视频直播� the Calgary Flames 香蕉视频直播� have announced plans to build one leaving the Canucks as the only team still seeking a site. There was some momentum possibly about building something at UBC but those negotiations have apparently stalled.

Talking to high-ranking officials at Canucks Sports and Entertainment, they remain optimistic that something gets done soon, telling this agent that if they are going to build a facility, they want everything to be right and do not want to go about it haphazardly. The biggest issue with not having a dedicated facility is the secondary aspects that help in player development such as a workout facility or a dedicated video room that can be used for teaching.
