Dhaliwal: “The Canucks obviously groups are talking with Kessel’s representative about an agreement. Some believed he’d get a PTO. It’s thought the Canucks are not in on Kessel however they did sign in on him a while back, with the representatives. So there was discussions however I don’t think he’s going to wind up in Vancouver.
Is Rasmus Dahlin Following Auston Matthews Contract Playbook?
But Kessel is a person, that everybody’s thinking ‘Is he going to get a PTO?’ Looks like Don he may get an agreement now.

Taylor: “Jujhar Khaira?”
Dhaliwal: “Cloverdale kid. Good Cloverdale. You know that Donnie. Cloverdale minor hockey. Always like to to give Cloverdale minor hockey a plug.”
Taylor: “Great uni’s.”
Dhaliwal: “They are fantastic. Blue with a little horse on the front. Very great.
Jujhar. The Canucks have actually disappointed any interest in him approximately this point. But I think he’ll get some excellent news quickly about being back in the NHL.”
- Elliotte Friedman: Have been hearing that the Minnesota Wild and Jujhar Khaira are dealing with something and he might be in their training school.

Someone stated the Canucks need to get Edler. Okay. Let’s get this straight folks. Edler is 37-years-old. What he carried out in Vancouver was fantastic. This company…”
Taylor: “Arguably the best ever defenseman.”
Dhaliwal: “We will never ever forget Edler in Vancouver however the Canucks are not in a position for feel excellent stories Don. They’re not. This company has actually had a hard run for 11 years. They’re not in a position for ‘look at this happy feel good story.’
No, they got to turn this ship around and you do it by making great tough choices and you do it by refraining from doing feel stories. I don’t believe it.”
