Rink Wide Vancouver's Jeff Paterson stops by and calls the whole matter exhausting. He says the most telling comment was Quinn Hughes no longer wanting to "beat around the bush" and that maybe the rift had to come to a head for things to improve. He says if they play better they change the discussion, but doubts Miller is over what caused his 10-game absence. He wants to believe the temperature will lower in the new year and doesn't think this will drive Rick Tocchet away at the end of the year.
