I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure it was just so he could train with them while the team was away.   His agent said as much and added they would not risk playing him down there 

Who's feeding into it? The Daily Hive wrote that, Canucks Army wrote about it, Canucks Daily wrote about it, obviously Sportsnet wrote about it, Sports Illustrated wrote about it, some Athlon Sports wrote about it, The Hockey Writers wrote about it. Like dude the list goes on, you think we're feeding into it by them writing about it, or Elliotte talking about it...

Like with the Oilers and Rexall Place it was built in 1974 and Gary Bettman basically said they need a new arena and they can't play in that one anymore.       But a place like MSG that was built in 1964 10 years older than Rexall, not one peep from Bettman suggesting the Rangers needed a new arena or anything. Or how Arizona was playing in a college arena and Bettman continued to think it was ok just so they could stay in Arizona.    He did the same thing with Ottawa like he did with the Oilers. The Canadian Tire Centre opened in 1996, Rogers Arena was built and opened in 1995, so probably won't be long until Bettman says something about Rogers Arena as well.       There's a reason why people don't like Bettman he's a clown.
