Thought he wanted HC role why he passed on Canucks. Or are the Flames the bridesmaids losing out on Shaw

True!

True... but that's only because 40 years ago someone tried to drink the contents of the battery and sued

He is a smart guy. He figured out Brad Treliving will be fired after 3 months Daryll will move upstairs and HC job opens up

Love it. Muller is runner up for Van coaching gig and Calgary snaps up our sloppy scraps yet again. What a joke

Wouldn't be surprised if that's where Benning ends up next when he's eventually let go/walks away from this job.

It makes a lot sense: calgary needs a full rebuild and Benning would probably handle the role better his second time around

I agree, wouldn't be the worst move for them. Treliving is okay at making NHL moves but his drafting is meh at best

Depends on what is reasonable.

Jones 7/7m
Reinhart 6/5.5-6m

My idea of reasonable. Reasons are term is long for both. I like Jones but not getting into a bidding war. He needs a good partner to be at his best. Reinhart a small shave to play at home. Fine if neither accept & move on.

The team can't even afford their own star players let alone two other ones.

Right in line with the majority of established veteran 2nd/3rd line wingers in the league

Wasn’t saying have both just my valuation if we had either. To have both other pieces would need to be moved. I could do an ACGM to crunch numbers.

Thanks Carol,

Looks like Vantel broke the Muller to Calgary news. I wonder if Green just didn’t like Muller or if his conversation with Shaw was just that much better.

Also wondering about contract lengths for the new guys (and returning coaches). Are they tied to Green as well? Clarke at 5 years suggests that there are, in fact, not better options available elsewhere…

Suggesting a sign & trade?

A signed Jones is worth MUCH more than an unsigned Jones.

When was the last time a Canucks goalie won a vezina?

Great write up, I really like the resume Shaw brings, I also like the comment by Green that essentially states the teams systems suck, so he is happy to have Gustafson because he’s a sharp guy with systems, and he think having a fresh voice from that standpoint is going to help us as well.

Bravo Green, you score one in my book.

I think he said Gustafson’s specialty was breaking down other teams systems? I don’t think he will be implementing anything, more advising on how to counter other teams tactics.

Green tired of not knowing the little details and getting out coached. Love it.

Will certainly help in a playoff series, and I imagine he will watch a lot of video to pre-scout upcoming opponents.

I think Green has his flaws like any coach, but you gotta give him credit for going out and actively looking to bring in a coach with some opposing views to challenge some of his own ideas. I bet a lot of coaches would rather just work with coaches who agree with them on most things

Even Torts said that Shaw is a great mind and that he's a great asset to a coaching staff even if he doesn't always share the same philosophies

IIRC, I think he was pretty consistently nominated up until Schneider's emergence turned it into a 1A/1B situation

Not always. An unsigned Jones is available to anyone willing to pay, a signed Jones is only available where he wants to play. If 30 teams only want him signed and he shortlist 2 or 3 teams that limits trade partners.

Green has been out coached a lot, maybe he has realized he is in over his head.

He took this team to the 2nd round of the playoffs and won away from the 3rd round.
