  1. Whatever Linden’s vision was — and he was viewed as the voice of reason when it came to patiently rebuilding like the Winnipeg Jets —ownership didn’t see it his way. Linden was heading into the final year of his contract. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/jason-botchford-canucks-nosedive-likely-didnt-help-lindens-relationship-with-regime Linden wanted the right kind of rebuild. Aquilini wanted a patch job.
  2. There were rumblings for some time that there was discord between the president and the team’s ownership, but the crux of Linden’s sudden dismissal came down to how long it would be until the NHL playoffs came back to Vancouver. And yet, the Canucks missed the playoffs again this past season. The first instalment of the post-Linden program, where the Canucks once again chased free agents to shore up depth, didn’t work. https://theprovince.com/sports/hockey/nhl/vancouver-canucks/patrick-johnston-trevor-linden-left-the-canucks-a-year-ago-not-much-has-changed And the team isn’t making the playoffs even now.
  3. Nope. How much playoff revenue did he make and will he make? Not as much as he would had he followed Linden’s plan. And those of us that were saying the time to take the short term rebuild hit was then. What a waste of time and talent.
  4. Linden saw this mess coming ages ago and Aquilini just wanted to make some playoff revenue and wanted a retool. The tool.
  5. Wow Lumme, Lafayette, Butcher and Babych!! Courtnall! Captain Kirk!! Linden!! These stupid fans don’t even know.
