And actually, right before his « Honestly… » comment, he was asked, « when you see certain Canucks with the puck, do you know what to do? » and he went on to say that as a D-man you shouldn’t try to guess tendencies too much to begin with. That’s the context before the rest of his answer.

This subs cope with Hughes is so sad. He left because we’re a shit franchise that isn’t actively trying to win a cup – winning a cup is not in the business plan for the Canucks. Good enough to fill the building and help print money for the ownership through the Canucks and surrounding real estate.
Could he have been a better captain, probably but it’s like the 50th most consequential reason for the Canucks being in a hole that only repetitive lottery luck can get them out of.
He’s moved on, hopefully after tonight’s game we see a little less bitterness.

He left in his mind a long time ago.
