redhdlois Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I always enjoyed listening to his takes on prospects. It helped me learn more about them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UticaHockey Posted July 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2019 I have enjoyed Ryan Biech's work. Very intelligent, articulate but never condescending or click bait stir the pot nonsense that others on Twitter do all the time. His professionalism I'm sure helped him land this job. Good hire and congratulations. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiped clean There has to be some sort of tool that automatically deletes your tweets for you right? Can’t imagine how long it would take to delete that many tweets. Stoked for Biech. One of the few good guys in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never noticed him being particularly obnoxious with his takes, anyways. Congrats to him in any case!

Popular Post Down by the River Posted July 12, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2019 Thomas Drance and Ryan Biech consistently said how they felt without acting like a jackass and now they have great gigs. They didn't toe the company line but they didn't get rude either. I'd like to believe that this will be a lesson for others in the Canucks' media circle, but I think they are all too old to change their personalities to be decent people. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't use derogatory nicknames or insults. People like that in a competitive work environment. Something that the Kwantlen drop-outs at Canucks Army, etc. do not understand. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Perhaps the org knows where they are right now in their trajectory and realize they cant (or dont want to) rely on top 10 picks from now on and as a result they are bringing in these spreadsheet and calculator guys for more accurate targeting of latter picks?
