Province Article: 11 coaches who could be behind the Vancouver Canucks’ bench next season

[JeremyCuddles]

Hmmmph, that's Coach Bombay to you sir.

I was gonna go with that, but figured the kids and people who didn't watch it wouldn't get the reference as easily. Lol.

[Blueberries]

Mclellan or bust.

[nuckin_futz]

Jules from Pulp Fiction?

Oh yeah, might as well toss in a bad language warning.

[Dogbyte]

Dineen and Muller are my choices.

We need calm and demeener on this team. Dineen is #1 for me.

I dont think Trots wants to leave his management position in Nashville.

his interview in the province the other day sure suggested otherwise.

Sam Jackson. Guy is a national treasure.

[Absent Canuck]

Really? Didnt know that.

In that case I am sure Trev will look at him as well.

[Smashian Kassian]

Trotz, Blashill or McLellan.

[MayRayDown]

Mclellan, Muller, Trotz are my top 3

[theminister]

I really think Johnston is the best fit right now.

Offensive, good with youngsters, calm and intelligent. He a modern, systems coach. Perfect for our team.

His experience in the city and organization means he should settle into the role easily.

His lack of head coaching experience in the NHL would not be a concern for me. He has experience working with professionals.

[sabatoge95]

1. Trotz

2. Stevens

3. McLellan

Those are my top 3 picks. Maybe get Mike Johnston as the assistant to replace Sullivan, though the coach will probably pick his assistant.

["Bull" Horvat]

Blashill won't be made available by Holland and McLellan is staying. I'm hoping for Trotz/Shaw/Johnston (if we move Kes) now

[Riviera82]

How about Kurt Russel as his Herb Brooks character.

How about Kurt Russel as his Herb Brooks character.

Why not just get zombie Herb Brooks?

I think he's available.

[Gollumpus]

Three seasons, three coaches? Big deal. In 1996 they had three coaches in one year, which was topped by 1984's four coaches in one year..

That's just silly, nobody would listen to him droning on in zombie gibberish.

[Gollumpus]

I've heard he's quite "animated"....

Yeah, he's not exactly 'fresh.'

/ Too soon?

// Seriously, though, the next coach should be a good bet to be around for a few years for stability. Johnston has the best chance of that. I like Stevens too and would prefer to have both men but I'd be a little surprised if Johnston comes back to the NHL to be an assistant. Never know though.

[erkayloomeh]

Blashill, Houda or Trotz

in reverse order

[theminister]

At least Kassian and Edler wouldn't have to worry.

Bieksa would be his main interest.
