Rick Dhaliwal: Tom Willer's advisor Todd Diamond, “Our intention was to become a professional, but if we do not agree on a contract with which Tom and his family are comfortable, returning to BU and other situations become possible in the coming seasons.”
Cory Mcquhae of the Army of Canucks: The Director General of Vancouver Canucks, Patrik Allvin, Monday on Tom Willer.
“His advisor informed us that he returned to school. Our staff was in communication; Mikael Samuelssson and Komisarek established an excellent relationship with Tom during the year, and they felt that he was ready to become pro after two successful years at the University of Boston. I mean, it's a lot of money for a young player to go.
The cannucks did not abandon the hope of signing this off -season.
NHL rumors: Pittsburgh Penguins, the best free agents in the NHL
Sportsnet 650: Rick Dhaliwal last week on the show Halford and Brough on the choice of uncommon repechage of the Canucks of Vancouver Tom Willander and the contract problems they have.

Halford: “What's the last on Tom Willer?”
Daliwal: “Okay, look, the discussions are going nowhere, and there is no communication at the moment between the club and the advisor, Todd Diamond. Not a good way for cannucks to leave a good impression or start a good impression with a first -round choice, which is the most important choice, obviously here from Quinn Hughes.
The “A” bonuses continue to be the problem. So let's go to Ryan Green, a Willer teammate in Boston. I just received $ 750,000 as a “A” bonus from Chicago. Burnt for a year on his contract, played two games with Blackhawks. It is the 57th draft choice in total three years ago, not two years ago, not last year, three years ago. The 11th choice in total compared to last year, Sam Dickinson signed $ 780,000 as a “A” bonus. It was last year, two weeks after the draft.
The first offers of the cannucks were far from these figures. All the other NHL clubs were able to have their guys sign without any problems. But the atmosphere of the soap opera continues with the cannucks.
Willer, now I want to get this. There was a report earlier this week than Willander, you know, something personal, and he didn't want to go to Abbotsford. It was 100% incorrect. Willer is ready to go to Abbotsford, but this ship may have sailed. Willer had also never requested an ice cream time warranty in Abbotsford.
This week would have been a great week for Willer could have played for Abby. They would have had two, three regular season games, then he could have played in the playoffs next week. One of the problems for Willander is that cannucks have one of the hottest teams of the American Hockey League, and they are really put on this blue line in Abbey.
But Willer has options if he does not sign with the Canucks. He can return to university, or he can play pro in Europe. He would most likely have a ton of teams after him in Europe.
I haven't seen the cannucks playing hard ball with Willer like that. Both sides have clearly dug in their heels. Time will tell us where it goes. To date, and I said it on Monday, and all these people have panicked on Twitter: “Oh, it will be done. It will do well.
NHL rumors: Quinn Hughes wants to play with his brothers
Like now, it's not good. Yes, things can change with a telephone call, but six days after the end of this children's season, the Canucks and Willander, they remain distant.
Halford: “I refuse to believe that a relationship between a choice of draft and a team could separate from” a “bonus in the ELC.”
