Anyone else notice Manny Malhotra in the Fishing for Kids pic on the front page of Canucks.com (with Dorset, Kirk, Sven, Benning, and Willie). I wonder if they are bringing him as an assistant coach to help the young guys on faceoffs, defensive play etc (or maybe a PTO!?)
The guy was winning 60% of his faceoffs his last 3 years in the NHL. That alone should be enough to bring him back. That is a huge asset on the PK and last minute and likely can be the difference between 8-12 points a season. That's worth 1.5 mil I would think!
If that is the plan..Im all for it..always liked Manny...but I tend to think if there is anything to him returning/working with the Canucks it would be in a coaching position of some sort.
