Happy retirement bruh.... maybe the Canucks will hire him on as a skills coach or something. He was like a poor man's Kesler which isn't a slight to Sutter. Solid as a defensive center for us and had a goal scoring touch just like Kesler (though obviously the later at his prime was at elite level) Edited October 2, 2023 by NewbieCanuckFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 He gave it a good go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moeknows Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Was at the game and thought he looked OK. He was still good in the FO circle that's for for sure. Sad news, seemed like a really good guy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it can affect him, it can affect anyone. Personally, I don’t have long term effects from when I had Covid and my immune system is compromised. I feel very fortunate. If he had to retire, he did the right thing. You can’t blame the guy for trying to comeback. Obviously he has a deep love for the sport. Anyone who didn’t know what a class act he was before that statement he issued certainly does now. I also hope he can stay in the sport somehow. Maybe on the coaching or front office sides of the league. We could use a little help in the face off circle. Congratulations on a good career and all the best to you, Brandon. This is a very classy post for a player that should be respected. Well done for this. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post canuck73_3 Posted October 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2023 So glad I got to see his last game. Good player took way too much flack here by people misinterpreting what foundational player meant. Best of wishes Sutts 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawbone Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 His kids are old enough now to remember watching him playing NHL hockey. That's awesome. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His nickname for Hughes. Huggy Bear. That came to him on the spot while watching him get drafted apparently. I think he might make for a good coach one day.

Rip The Mesh Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 I do hope Brandon continues to be involved in the NHL, preferably the Canucks, in some capacity. Always liked his demeanor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when the nicknames veer away from adding a “y” or “s” at the end of the last name. Not that there’s anything wrong with those ones - but names like Huggy (or Juice… or even Virtanen’s “Tuna”) are just way more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re unoriginal and not creative at all. Honey badger was another great one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
