Don Hay's most experience with the Canucks: Being in the same city

Scott Arneil's most experience with the Canucks: Coaching Manitoba Moose for 4 seasons including a Calder Cup final, credited with turning a moody, non-motivated goaltender into one of the best young goaltenders in the NHL.

After a shaky start to the 2007–08 season (3-7-0 record, 3.69 GAA and .872 save percentage in 11 games), he was privately called out by head coach Scott Arniel in mid-December after being pulled the previous game. In recalling the meeting, Schneider has commented that "[Arniel] was one of the first guys to...tell me I wasn't good enough, something that I hadn't really heard a lot growing up. Sometimes it's something you need to hear." From that point on, he emerged as Manitoba's starting goalie over fellow Canucks prospect Drew MacIntyre, and was named the AHL Rookie of the Month for March. He finished the season with a 21-12-2 record, 2.28 GAA and .916 save percentage.

Hay's success at the junior level did not translate to success at the NHL level. Some guys are good at preparing kids to be pros and other guys are good at coaching men at the pro level. Hay is in the first group. You "Fire AV" people are dense as fog and dumber than dirt. AV has the best record of any coach in Canucks history. Gillis believes AV is the right guy. Who are we to argue with Gillis?

Don Hay only wants a job as a head coach in the NHL

A while back he refused an offer to be an assistant coach of the Oilers (yes it is the Oilers, but they are still an NHL team) and an article was written about how he decided to stay with the Giants unless he got an offer to be the head coach of an NHL team
