Heard some kind of deal with Pittsburgh is imminent.

Nothing posted to HF unless if it's Kane double retention to Pitt, I've heard that one.

Don't think Kane would improve the "culture".

Proof.

Schmidt >Poolman.

Any actual qualified coach and D coach > Green and Baumer.

I'm sure someone at some point in time, would have maybe possibly come to the conclusion.

No. Never. I wasn't a discussion. Not once.

So now comes the GM search, and it sounds like a committee-type approach to find their person with Rutherford running it.

“It’s going to be me, Jim, probably my brother, my dad. Maybe Michael Doyle. It’s going to be all of us and I think it’ll have to be unanimous and I think Jim’s going to lead that,” said Aquilini. “Jim’s got a lot of experience, he’s going to say, ‘this is the guy’ and this is who he feels comfortable with. Of course we’ve got to support it.

“As the owners, we’ve got to like it and support it. That’s really our job, is to support. Jim’s got to tell us what he’s doing, give us a plan and say, ‘OK we support it. We’re backing it.’”

Is there a front-running candidate already in mind?

“We’re not there yet. There’s so many good people out there, you don’t want to rush these things. Like you’re hoping this person will come in and be there for a long time. That’s what you’re kind of hoping. You want to get it right as opposed to just, ‘let’s just plug the hole.’ We don’t need to plug the hole because we’ve got Jim, right?’’

Aquilini expects a more methodical approach on the GM search/hire.

“There’s no timeline. It could be the end of the season. Jim and I have talked about this, it’s going to take as long as it’s going to take. Because maybe the right guy is under contract and it doesn’t come up until the end of the season. Like everything’s open, everything’s on the table.”

I take JFresh stats/graphs with a big grain of salt but anyone who actually thought Poolman > Schmidt probably had some bias, I can’t see an objective way to make that statement.


Schmidt would also flourish under Bruce, just like he did under Gallant and now Maurice. all coaches who like aggressive puck pursuit.

That was Blake Price. A Nucks- Pens deal of personnel on and off the ice before the end of the year he said.

As of right now, I doubt Pitt needs anything off of Vancouver that would make sense other than maybe a better 3rd pairing RHD. They have 19M on IR right now

Yup. They are desperately trying to stay/be relevant.

Thought from the minute it was reported that Schmidt wanted out of van that he mainly wanted to get away from Green and Baumer.

I think most just have no idea what they are looking at or can't put them into perspective.

I'd say in the media industry for sports now, if you can talk about analytics or relate to it in some way, you will probably be more relevant.

It was announced over the weekend that Thomas Bordeleau won’t be competing for the U.S. at the upcoming World Junior tournament, and Eric Leblanc of RDS reports that it’s because the young forward tested positive for COVID-19. It’s a devastating outcome for the San Jose Sharks prospect, who missed last year’s tournament as well because his roommate–John Beecher–received a false positive just before the event began.

Little guy is probably saying "(frank) covid" right now.

A winning streak with a new coach. Who'da thunk it?

Not sure if it happens with the ex GM around, clearly it's a different team. Still relying on the goalie but putting him in better positions to succeed.

I guess i'll have to start paying to watch the Canucks again in order to get a premium feed. Easily worth it if they're playing hard and well.

Hmmm, seems to be a few in here with a prejudice against older men.






And before someone becomes offended, yes I know it is a joke.
