Warhippy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 We went from 2 number one goalies to zero in under a year? How's that? Ooh, how about having a team that's got it's diminishing, aging core locked into no trade contracts for seemingly forever! How many of our draft picks are currently producing on the Canucks? Did you miss all of that? So than you'd jump on that morons boat and agree when he says Gillis is the WORST GM EVER in canucks history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm fully supportive of bringing in Feaster, as it's time to tank this sucker. No GM is going to be able to wave his magic wand and get us franchise players. You get that via the draft. That means tanking this sucker. Like how we got the Sedins in the first place. When we're done the tank job then you bring in figureheads like Linden/Nazzy etc. and good hockey personnel so we can try to win with the new core. This is pretty much a standard approach to rebuilding a team. If we bring in figureheads like Linden/Nazzy etc. and good hockey personnel before we have new franchise players onboard/ready, well then you're wasting them. If firing Feaster equates to drafting McDavid, BRING IT ON!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I will explode and die if we sign Jay Feaster as the new GM. No way in he11. One of the few people in the league that I absolutely refuse to acknowledge as a quality GM. Gillis is by far the better choice if one had to be chosen. Out.

rawkdrummer Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I certainly hope that Tort's is next! We'll soon see what the Aqualini's plan but be afraid, very afraId. It's a sad day for the Canucks organization. For all Gillis' shortfalls he did more good than bad and that can't be said of Torts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 If we bring in a GM and the management puts a product on the ice that is made to lose for that pick then our team should be investigated and be forced to forfeit that pick when found guilty. In case you haven't noticed, the losing is happening regardless of who the GM is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Listening to Team 1040 they said Fester spotted at Calgary airport and they quoted festers that he would want to be with torts again He can be with torts in a retirement home soon enough once Torts gets fired by a new GM.

BedBeats™2.0 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Linden: No Nazzy: Maybe in a lesser role. Feaster: Not my cup of tea. Current list of assistant GM's on good, current NHL clubs. For sure. Interview them. Cam Neely: Hell yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If firing Feaster equates to drafting McDavid, BRING IT ON!!!Absolutely not. Feaster has never been able to do that. That isn't his resume. He has never properly rebuilt a team. He has had the exact opposite effect. Hiring Feaster does not equal McDavid. That's a ridiculous suggestion. Bringing in Feaster would be the worst business and hockey decision that could be made. If you want to build through the draft you need a GM without one of the worst drafting records if the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJDDawg Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Blake Price makes a good point about the fact that if Feaster is hired as GM, it can be implied that Torts is here for the long term given that not many GM's would gush about how great a coach Torts is like Feaster just did in that interview. I'm just glad this is all just one big nightmare I'm having here. See you all when I wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 You forgot the most damning fact. Feaster misjudged the long-range prospects for his team so badly he actually delayed trading Iginla, Bouwmeester and Kipper for three years, in which time he could have got a much better overhaul (they were better when younger), and it would have started the rebuild a lot sooner. Terrible, terrible thought process in the crucial GM talent of knowing the right and timely direction your team needs. Well if they were to bring in Feaster, they may as well let him spend futures and focus on short term gratification, because the alternative would be his drafting..... That's a lose lose imo.... as would be a Feaster - Tortorella re-duet. Gotta wonder who the actual acting GM would be if they went that route. A few folks arguing that Feaster wasn't actually responsible for anything that happened in Calgary....not sure what is more alarming. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I totally swear sometimes that CDC is incredibly daft. Hello? We have no franchise players. How do you supposed we come about those if not through the draft? Magic? Anyway, the losing is going to happen. If Feaster comes in he's going to sign garbage UFA's and pretty much ensure that we continue losing like he did in Calgary, while boldly saying that they're still heading to the playoffs. Did anyone actually believe they were heading to the playoffs though? Alternatively, the worst thing we could do is bring in a GM who trades our upcoming picks for players. If that's the case, then we're following the TO model. No thanks. I don't care who the GM is. If the plan doesn't include utilizing the 2015 and 16 drafts to restock, then that's a fail.
