Canucks Ownership Wants to Slash Payroll to $20M - Fans Furious

Vancouver Canucks ownership is apparently pushing to shrink the player payroll down to $20 million, a move that has ignited fan backlash against what they're calling a cheapskate approach. This kind of cost-cutting in a market like Vancouver sends a message about the organization's commitment to winning, and it's not the message fans want to hear. When ownership starts talking about cutting payroll instead of adding pieces, you know the rebuild is about to get a lot longer.
