I get it; and with context - outside of his drafting - he has made all/most of the mistakes a rookie GM will do: overpaying for the wrong players with either cost or term (as one obvious example). Like I said, what JB & Green will do to make this a playoff team - moving forward is what matters; and either way, it will be well earned.

Imo, Green plays the role of a great coach and it seems ownership & JB (with Weisbrod) has bought into the hype that - he is an up & comer coach in this league; but his overall record, further confirms he is a mediocre coach . At this point, I am just watching the leadership group (ownership down to the staff): as to, what type of decision(s) they will be making. Green with that attitude is not surprising (imo), based on what we had seen these past few years. Personally, I've worked under a foreman that has very similar traits: favoritism & arrogance; and it just leads to a segregated crew - more work & opportunity for some and the opposite for others.

A more recent ie: Calgary; and outside of Coleman, Gudbranson and Zadorov (both D sign to one year contracts), is pretty much fielding the same roster. The coaching change they did last year (after, there aggressive offseason) are paying dividends for them, right now. Imo, JB bought the local media hype: that Green is an demand coach; so he gave him a deeper roster to re evaluate him. So far, Green has only confirmed why he has an overall winning % below .500 and I believe JB or Aquaman has a number or date in mind. The last three/four home game, were entertaining & it seems the Canucks were dictating play - but those were against teams that plays a very similar type of hockey. Tonight, Colorado cameout with some urgency, a pressing style; and it caught, the Canucks flat footed. Imo, a well deserved loss for the whole team.

Some/most, see it but there will always be the JB haters/the constant roster.tweaking folks and the groupies. Anyways; and right now, the ship seems to be sinking and there is no fluff from any shill that can spin this. -

Yeah, the Flames are a more recent example, of a team that hired a coach with an actual track record and the players bought in. The Canucks, could had done the same thing last year; but it seems, JB felt responsible for Greens atrocious record due to his mismanagements. The deeper roster and extension to Green, seems to JBs' way of admitting to his mistakes and givimg himself a better chance to re evaluate Green with a deeper roster. So far, Green should be making JBs' decision easier. -

Good point; hopefully, they hire a coach with a good winning percentage to create some much needed structure on & off the ice. Plus a new coach won't have the same favorites among the players so the current locker room politics will change, if the new staffs main goal is winning. -

Very different tone in the forum from the last three games. Canucks seems to struggle against teams that uses a pressing system. -

Yeah, but atleast, it might give players some sense of urgency (?). -

Yeah, Green has gone stale with this group - I wonder if any adjustments will be made or more line blending to further errode any line chemistry among the players. -

Seems like a fair timeline for the (current) staff to hopefully turn it around
