I think they will as to try a different direction the club will take. Doesn't seem like they are on the same page with Benning having to tell WD to play the younger players and then that still didn't happen exactly. Also WD's comments last week seem to indicate not all is well on the inside. This has also been mentioned on radio but who knows.

You mean when Hansen was injured, Jake was chronic, Hutton was in a slump, Ericsson couldn't find his ass with his right hand never mind find the net, Guddy was struggling to find form then got injured, Dorsett and Tanev were injured and the Sedins were entering their pre-retirement phase.

 

All of which caused colossal personnel changes (personnel that was AHL quality) and the accompanying lag while they found some chemistry, culminating in being in touch for a wild card at the turn of the year.

 

Yeah I see what you mean - no good coach would be affected by that would he?

 

Give yourself a shake.

Do you think Willie is back for another year?

"Willie has been a winner. Look at his resume. He's been a winner his whole life no matter where he is, but you only have so many horses in the barn...they just don't have the horses."

Exactly.

 

Wait till the team gets better, then evaluate Willie.

Tiger Williams is just trying to set Willie up with a new job at the expense of management reputation. The whole thing was probably Lindens idea to help Willie's career move on in a positive direction. Linden cares more about others than he does himself and can feel good about Willie moving on knowing the hockey world doesn't view him as a failure. 

 

All that said Green has my vote as our fresh new coach to this team. He is a players coach and the youth really like him. He has the respect and familiarity with a few of the players already and a good reputation. 

 

GREEN GREEN GREEN 

 

will represent the blue and green!!!

 

Go Canucks Go!!!

That is not really what happened now was it Westcoasting? That is just you parroting media porkies on here as usual.

 

Willie was informed that management now considered the playoffs out of reach and so he had the green light to play any of the youngsters who were available. Not quite the same thing. 

After all the team he had the green light to play youngsters in already had been playing Bo, Baertschi, Granlund, Gaunce, Stecher, Tryamkin, Virtanen, Hutton, Rodin and Boucher.

 

So since then he has played LaBate, Goldobin, Shore, Boeser, McEneny, Molino and Cramarossa. That is 16 young players who have played meaningful games and Rodin who had an unfortunate recurrence of his injury. (something else the media and idiots on this fanbase tried to skewer the coach with until the truth came out)

 

Linden and Benning need to remember they are not coaches and never have been.

 

Desjardins has a long history of coaching youth successfully and one of the key things with rookies and young players is they need to be played in a role and manner where they are able to succeed. That also implies that they are physically ready for that role in the team. You can have all the talent in the world but if you have not learned how to remain in possession of the puck under duress you are a liability at both ends. That is what WD teaches - responsibility allied to capability leads to confidence.

If Hitchcock is willing to take on a 3-5 year project then sign him up, he's one of the best in the league's history. Don't think he would to be honest.

 

There aren't too many nice names on that list, might be worth waiting for after the playoffs end to try and nab a playoff coach who couldn't take a contending team to the Cup.

[canuck2288]

Ideally Crow

 

if not Crow, Gallant

 

would love to have Green as an assistant but he may not accept

Hahahaha good one 

 

build him and all star roster and THEN evaluate him ...beautiful. Can I have the job then? 

 

And quoting Williams was priceless 

[canuck2288]

Given the past record of minor league guys like Eakins and Willie, my guy tells me we need an established guy 

 

I am torn because I really like Green

Therrien or Hartley.

I'd love to see Hartley coach this team. He likes tough physical teams that play hard, and we have some big physical guys in our system.

Actually, it's your posts that are priceless. After all, somebody has to provide the grade 5 playground mentality and intelligence around here and you do it well.

ummm... how has Willie not developed youth? 

Horvat, Hutton, Tryamkin, Sven, Granlund, Stetcher all seem to be growing as players under Willie. 

Virtanen is about the only one who didn't grow, which makes me think that's a Virtanen problem, not a Willie problem. 

Really you think Wd developed these kids lol. Horvat a beast his work ethic is why he developed probably be doing a lot better idf hadnt started season on 4th line, Hutton came in from university a stud then comes in in great shape gets lined up with Guddy and looked awful comes back from injury looks fine. Stetcher looks like he's getting worse and worse most people pass harder tahn he can shoot yet he's on pp. Trymakin wouldnt even be playing without injuries despite his awesomness needs more icetime maybe take some mins from Edler. Virtanen what a gong show way to handle the room Willy. To me it seems players dont know what to expect.

I have little doubt that Linden-Benning-Desjardin are all on the same playbook for the rebuild of this club. Do any fans honestly think that Desjardin was hired under any other prospectus? I can see these three sitting down on a regular basis to discuss how the process is evolving. Suggesting that Desjardin had to receive orders from on high to play the youth is absolute speculation which cannot be taken seriously IMO. If Desjardin leaves that decision will likely be mutual. These are all quality people. No one knows the Vancouver market better than Trevor Linden he has lived it for what 30 years? Benning played here as well. I could honestly see those two warning Desjardin of what he was walking into. Desjardin is a quality person and knew he would be point in a tough and unrealistic fan market. 

 

The constant suggestion that Linden-Benning-Desjardin are constantly making development misjudgments cloaked in many permutations is more like Friday night TV. There is to much slotting of players into forecasted roles that assumes automatic success. Rebuilding is a long process with many disappointments as players do not rise to projected expectations. It should be expected but often is not. Just as many fans hung onto the belief that the Canucks were bonafide CUP contenders in 2012 and even in 2013 the reality said otherwise. A empty cupboard is just that. IMHO this org will be very lucky to be respectable in 3 seasons. The more likely scenario is 5 seasons.

Well you see things a lot differently than i do that's for sure. What do you think the future holds for WD? Do they keep him here for another year and extend his contract?

not my discussion but seems like a 50/50 thing. We will probably be drafting high next year no matter who's coaching.
