NTC

Bieksa, Garrison, Hansen, Burrows, all had some variation as well. It comes down to management choice of who to keep.

So be it. He is not irreplaceable. 

Agreed, I was just answering 101 who said he wouldn't go anywhere.

That said I rather have green than most of the options available at this point.

And they've already moved all them out, keeping but four after only two years of transition.  The twins in Vancouver are nothing like Kessel and Phaneuf were in Toronto, who were necessary to be purged out.

Hopefully he goes to europe...

Why? He knows what's expected he knows most of the young guys and he's done a good job in Utica. Why not give him a shot what the worst he does 2 more losing seasons getting decent draft picks. 

look at the oiler flames and leafs (to name a few) how many coaches and gms did those guys go through before there teams drafted enough talent to be relevant. What makes vancouver any different......nothing. 

Linden benning willie green insert a few more names , will all be gone before this team is remotely competative again. So throw Green a bone and move on.

Benning deserves no credit.  After all, he's building the team around 36-year-olds.

So that's what he's doing.

You say he knows most of the young guys but besides Virtanen and Demko who else has a remote chance of making the big club as a regular?Probably none. If it was about losing and getting draft picks then why not let Willie D ride out his contract. You seem soo sure that Linden and Benning will all be gone before were remotely competative again....just wondering what else you see in that crystal ball of yours?

Here's hoping the next coach has the balls to use all three as support players to minimize their weaknesses.

I'll be happy if the next coach doesn't have Megna as the best option available to ride shotgun with the Sedins.  They ain't nearly good enough anymore to be carrying a AHLer for much of the season.

Just a question because I really don't know, what are the chances the yotes fire Tippett, I know he has some level of authority in management which would make it tough, but they have been so bad for so long one has to think he's running out of time.

 

Also if he was made available (assuming he takes the job here), would he be a good fit? I've heard rumors that he's bad at working with young talent. 

 

Just something I been thinking about lately, if people think Quenneville or Trotz could get canned then I don't see how Tippett can't be.

I would not want to see him hired at all. One of the most overrated coaches in the NHL in my mind and coaches the most boring possible style of game. We have seen what he can do with a shallow roster and nothing would drive fans away faster than his style.

 

I don't get why he wasn't canned long ago.

You bet...Crosby they are not.  Guy deserves the Hart again given his line mates this year...

Since my first choice was hired by Vegas

I'll move on to #2

I don't know if you're just being antagonist here, spinning for the sake of it, or...

 

First you cite NTC, NMC issues to prop up why the roster is the way it is.

Amigo then cited several examples of those being moved. And you come back with this? Catch your tail yet? 

Also, the "necessary purge" comment is interesting, being that It's almost exactly the original point being made by the guy in the first place, just laterally here, juxtaposed onto Toronto's roster.

Are you turning into Apollo, one minute supporting management, the next bashing it? Or is my sarcasm detector on the fritz? 

[Bllewellyn]

Dan bylsma fired in buffalo would he be a good fit here.

No he wouldn't. We just lost a player for not getting enough ice time. Eichel complained enough it got Dan fired. No thanks. He can go to Vegas. 

[Canucks53]

Finally he is gone. I hope we can get Darryl Sutter.
