LATEST | Former Canuck gives his take on Rick Tocchet and the Canucks' future

''I love Tocc, I had him also in Arizona. A good friend of mine. I think just his passion for the game as a no-nonsense guy, ..., I think he expects excellence from his group and they'll be learning curb obviously. You look at the core of that team and you gotta keep that core together and you gotta build around these star players that they have. That's kind of the direction of this group, him at the helm is a good fit obviously..., and I think he'll get these guys to compete, when you add the compete side to the talent these guys have, you can do a lot of good things''
