If your team isn\u0027t winning, there are a few things you can do. The coach can try new lines. Management can fire the coach. Or they can shuffle the roster through trades.
This roster is still very similar to the one he and his staff inherited from the Jim Benning regime. The coach has changed but now the team is having the same struggles as they did before Bruce Boudreau took over for Travis Green behind the bench.
As Rutherford himself noted, the better he plays, the more valuable a trade chip Horvat will be — and at this point it’s seems a safe assumption that the Canucks’ captain will be traded, not re-signed.Tyler Myers Given Myers is now 32 years old, other teams aren’t going to be looking to give up younger defencemen in exchange, especially if the Canucks are unwilling to retain some of his salary.At least one report this week suggested the Toronto Maple Leafs might be interested in the blueliner, though league sources suggested that interest to be lukewarm at best.
But how happy is he in Vancouver? On ice there was the success of the second half, but the team still didn’t make the playoffs. And there’s been plenty of off-ice tumult. Could the Canucks pry a pick back for him? Rutherford’s feeling is GM Patrik Allvin should be looking for players, rather than draft picks, in his trades.
