  1. Fun fact we drafted Scott Walker in 1993. He was drafted 124th overall in the 5th round.
  2. The familiarity of already working with the Canucks(very briefly) and already coaching with Boudreau at the Spengler Cup makes Scott Walker a sensible pick as a part of Boudreau's staff. They've likely already have a good understanding of what they want to bring together.
  3. Scott Walker use to be a developmental coach for 2 years with the Canucks and was Director of Player development with us 1 year. He had some minor advisor/Gm roles after that. He is also the current President of the Guelph Storm. Overall he has done a lot throughout different leagues CHL, NHL, Olympics, WJC He is coming with Boudreau probably because they were gonna coach together already in the Spengler Cup.
  4. He is a coach. And was gonna coach with Boudreau at the Spengler Cup.
  5. Scott Walker was to be Assist coach at Spengler Cup with BB. He's probably here in a coaching role.
  6. I hope I am right too. I don't like the alternative. We should find out soon if JB is gone.
  7. Might not have been a ownership decision but a new management one. It looks like JB could be gone as well. Coaching news could have broke out a little earlier.
  8. I figured as much when Shah broke the news that management didn't make this decision.
  9. We had an aging core when JB said he wanted to quickly retool. We have Petey, Hughes, Pod, Hog, Demko, Boeser? and all the other prospects in the system already. So not at all the same thing.
  10. Unless they cheap, not really either. We are maxed out. Even then they're another team's trash and they won't necessarily be a treasure for us.
  11. We either win with what we got or trade expiring assets and rebuild short-term, building around the young-group already in-place.
  12. I also have bottom 6 concerns on top of that. We have no gritty or good enough defensive players.
  13. Team's maxed out with the cap. We aren't gonna be bringing in anybody without getting rid of a big piece and a lot of our guys have been struggling.
  14. Boudreau's offensive style fits what we got better than other coaches. We aren't gonna be grindy defensive team. We don't have the players for it. We're gonna have to outscore our problems and pray to our lord and saviour Demko to stand on his head.
  15. If the teams fails afterwards I reckon JB is toast. Not many good GM options out there now which could be why they're more patient.
  16. Well he isn't asking Marner to rate his teammates so better I'd figure.
