They're getting a quality individual with so much to offer a team. Players tend to really relate to Manny and it's no secret how he's helped groom some of our young players....particularly in the dot. no its a good thing. Going to the leafs ensures he'll be available again in a couple years. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great face off coach and great guy to have around the team but his actual coaching experience is very limited. https://www.nhl.com/news/canucks-sign-malhotra/c-533452 'He turned his career around while playing for the Columbus Blue Jackets and coach Ken Hitchcock, averaging 11 goals and 29 points in five seasons. In 11 NHL seasons, Malhotra has 90 goals and 140 assists for 230 points in 705 games. He is minus-15 for his career with 385 penalty minutes. Malhotra has nine power-play goals, two shorthanded goals and 20 game-winners in his career.' Add; 11 years, at that point, watching other coaches and players practice and play on the power play.

Guess not. Why should he? The Canucks haven't seen fit to promote him. If he has the opportunity for a promotion he should jump at it.

Mo Grit Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Can't see how retaining Brown and Baum behind our bench while allowing Manny slip away improves us in any respect whatsoever. If they let Clark also be poached, Fransesco needs to pull Benning to one side, have a word. Canuck player development has long been a mystery, and so losing popular, successful coaches only deepens that. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand why the previous poster saw it as a lack of loyalty. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I appreciated him as a player, and he has definitely helped our young guys come along, but I won't be able to root for him in Toronto of all places. At least he'll likely be available to another team in a few years, Toronto's a black hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t make him a power play coach. If he was gonna coach a unit the pk would be his expertise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is an expert at the pk than he knows the weakness of pk structures thus allowing him to plan a counter to pks thus making him suitable as a pp coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Grit Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Quote Brown = Power Play Baumgartner = D-men Totally unrelated to Manny's work. If you're happy with our D-men and PowerPlay then yours is a fair comment. But, holding a Status Quo doesn't equate to progress, in my opinion. Manny may not have improved either, but he sure had the ear of our young guns. B&B appeared to have lost that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post VegasCanuck Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2020 Would suck to lose him, but I think Manny would develop into a really good head coach and deserves chance to take another step along that path. Will miss him teaching our guys how to win faceoffs. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just me, but I would rather keep building on those established relationships with players like Horvat, Pettersson, and Miller rather than jump to the next opportunity. The Canucks are on the rise and he just jumps ship like that? Why not be a part of something you helped build? He's been an assistant for 3 years, he's not some sort of long-time assistant coach waiting in the wings for a chance; he still has some dues to pay. Idk, loyalty is few and far between in professional sports I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoreanHockeyFan Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Hope face-offs don't tank next season. That was one of the more unexpected strong suites of the Canucks and Manny was a big part of that.

JeremyCuddles Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Sucks that we are losing Manny because of Baumer and Brown. This coaching staff never ceases to upset me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
