ParticipantSo…remember the good old days on HB when we used to have the bestest conversations about the Canucks, gosh I kinda miss those days. Despite some serious flaws with this format let’s get some conversations going again about the Canucks, a lot is happening on the “left coast” right now. Cheers!!

I’m thinking Malhotra will be hired sooner than later, but stranger things have happened, I’m just glad Rutherford is mostly out of the picture, he was the creator of a lot of problems within the organization. Either by opening his mouth too much or by not dealing with internal things in a timely manner. I’m hopeful the Canucks are in a better place now, even though it won’t show it in the standings for a while.

ParticipantYeah, everything seems to be pointing in that direction. Personally, I have mixed feelings about yet another rookie Coach and GM combo. But at this point I doubt there’s many other options. I can’t see the demand being high to be part of the 32nd place team that’s in no rush to win.

This format has its issue as well, but at least it’s somewhat better than HB, which is deplorable.
The draft is going to be interesting, on many fronts, I’m not sure at this point if the Canucks stay at #3 or they move up or down???

Ownership has a lot to do with who they can and can’t hire, in my opinion. The Sedins, much like Linden, were golden boys in Vancouver, but that didn’t work out so well for Trev, maybe Aquilini has learned. But I doubt it.

ParticipantRegardless, the available talent pool thins fast for losing teams with the sort of track record the Canucks have over the last decade or so. I can’t see them being high on anyone’s list of places to sign both on and off the ice.

ParticipantMark Stone is the quintessential player that can’t skate very well but he’s such a good, clutch, player.

Me too, they just looked unbeatable during the regular season. But that’s why they play the playoffs games, different animal. Necas had one goal in 13 games, not good enough.

ParticipantLatest rumour is 3 HC on the list Malhotra of course, Knoblaugh & Cassidy. The latter VGK isn’t letting anyone interview. All 3 have good reasons to be hired Malhotra the sentimental choice but a rookie, Knoblaugh who can get offence out of his roster & Cassidy who’s systems get a good team game identity going. Idk which style best suits the Canucks at these early stages of a rebuild or which HC candidate wants a rebuild situation. On that my guess is Malhotra more interested with maybe Knoblaugh next. Idk Cassidy’s mind set after the Bruins then VGK jobs would be interested might want another PO type team to be HC.
If all 3 are interested do you have a favourite?
