As most of you know, you want good PR, take pictures with the Sedins.

Aquilini has been something of a regular show piece at the new sports bar attached to Rogers Arena, and even has his two favourite waitresses who he prefers to serve his table.

FA also has an amazing new avatar. I’ve already requested to hire his team for the next change I make to mine.

Look at this guy. He looks younger than the Sedins. Hell, younger than Horvat.

Of course, when you tweet a lot, it’s hard to keep off the delicious Drancer diet of back patting.

And there was quite a bit of back patting going on around the Canucks in January.

That’s all over now.

Yes, they did have a good month but there appeared to be a lot of premature credit being given out considering where they Canucks sat and how much season there was left.

Aquilini couldn’t resist hopping on the credit train.

I just hope this tweet doesn’t come back to bite him later on, you know in the long term.

BEST REALITY

It read like some wishful thinking from Jannik Hansen in his interview withimacthis week.

Hansen sure is hopeful about Benning’s declaration he will not ask any of his players to waive their no-trade clause.

I’m not sure about every day. I am, however, sure he will be asked about it, and asked about it several more times this month.

Because there is a truth to wrap one’s head around. There is zero chance Benning is going to expose Granlund or Baertschi in the expansion draft.

Not only are they players he targeted and acquired, they are young, cheap-ish, in club control and, potentially, getting better.
