[Report] Canucks name Jim Rutherford as president & interim GM
Thraxious replied to -Vintage Canuck-'s topic in Canucks Talk
Was hoping the team would bring in a President. Seeing whom it is makes me wonder if this is meant to solve several issues. 1) Give both a real and optic view that Aquilini isn't involving himself in the day-to-day. A younger less experience President could be viewed more readily to be manipulated. Older people often have the ability to say "Get stuffed" :> 2) Bringing in an experience mentor for the existing staff (think Sedins) that can replace him after the 3 year tenure (or sooner if need be - health). 3) Experience at winning!!! Hoping nothing major is done with the players until we bring in a new GM. Hoping that Stan and team are part of the decision on whom is brought in and a new culture is brought into the team. Best part of his initial comments was he was developing a plan. See what you have, what you need and make a plan to reach your goal. Very happy with these past few days. Hopefully a new GM (in the future) will solidify our path forward. -

Sounding like some good news finally. I personally don't have favorites for coaching or GM's but nice to hear we are getting some experience on the coaching front. I will just be happy if I see the boys starting to back-check properly instead of constant stick checking and see some movement on both the PK and PP. Hopefully this works out - would nice to be able to see the boys smile for a change.

[PGT] Pittsburgh Penguins at Vancouver Canucks | Dec. 04, 2021

Exactly. At the very, very least, step into the media circus and explain your plan going forward. Doing nothing in any Canadian market is an absolute kiss of death. I can agree with both pro boos and con boos. However, nothing changes with out customers showing displeasure, but I agree its tough on the players. However, some of the players deserve those boos as well. Tough just to boo the player your annoyed with from the upper level.
