In this video, Irfaan Gaffar joins me to break down how the Vancouver Canucks’ culture became so dysfunctional, what has changed since, and whether the organization is finally building something that can last. We discuss the fallout from the J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson situation, the departures of Quinn Hughes and Conor Garland, and why the old dressing room had become so divided. We look at how Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Ryan Johnson, Manny Malhotra, and veteran additions like Luke Schenn, Brendan Gallagher, and Jamie Oleksiak are trying to set a new standard around a young roster. We also talk about what will truly test this new culture, which players wanna be part of the rebuild, and who could eventually become the next captain of the Canucks.– Nuckhead
