Carol Schram: Sedins, Samuelsson, Komisarek join Canucks' player development department Sounds like the Sedins will be putting their skates back on after all. Daniel and Henrik are joining the Canucks' player development department, along with Mikael Samuelsson and Mike Komisarek.

Cheers Carol! Might be tough to get a work VISA for Canada/US for Russian prospects.

Hopefully the Canucks sign that Swedish Dman they drafted, then never signed, and now he’s 30 and had a good season.

Thanks Carol!

Thanks Carol!

Thank you Carol

Thanks Carol.

This, from The Athletic’s Thomas Drance:

Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau didn’t seem to have made a decision yet when he appeared on the VANcast last week and discussed whether the club might hire another eye in the sky assistant coach to join Boudreau’s staff and replace Kyle Gustafsson.

I asked around on Monday and it seems that the organization has made a decision since then. Sources strongly suggested to The Athletic on Monday that the club intends to hire both a video coach and an additional coach to serve as an eye-in-the-sky for this upcoming campaign.

Eight years of sucking marmot balls will do that.

I thought this was the year that Bettman would allow Van to win a spot because the lack of top end talent. They wouldn't want Van to win a spot next year or the year after.

A good difference after pick 4.

No star-deprived Cinderella teams making it to the Cup finals this year (e.g., Montreal 2021, Vegas 2018). Big star power in the 5 remaining teams in the playoffs. NYR has the least with 3. The last three series should be fun.

Now you know how many jobs Benning was doing, I bet he stayed late every night and vacuumed the offices.

Benning should be put up in the ring of honour for the job he did.

Maybe kuzmenko is waiting to see what happens in worldly affairs, tick tock.
