nuckster33 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Ya Daniel's finished in my opinion. My main reason for trading Kesler is actually this. ooooooooor Split the Sedins and allow Daniel who is still a very good passer to be the playmaker with Kes Burrows Henrik Jensen was unbelievable, they played like the line of 4 years ago (with Jensen playing like the old Daniel for that stretch). Of course Torts broke that up! lol This is what told me Daniel was actually the problem on that line. Daniel (playmaker) Horvat Kesler great second line wingers between our number 1/2 of the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 If that's the case he isn't coming here. Look for desjardins or houda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdubuya Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I really hope this isn't true. Coaches like him don't come around very often. Too bad if management isn't interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me_ Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 finished? well he has a nice 7million paycheck waiting for him the next 4 years.. i'm going to predict he scores a grand total of 50 goals in the next 4 years combined so roughly about 500k per goal I hope you're wrong. Not saying you are. I have a feeling that it is just mere post-concussion confidence missing a bit. A healthy season from the top line could go far for all three of Daniel, Henrik and Burrows. The plan seems to be to surround the top six with a tough bottom six and roll four lines. I was a Torts supporter, but here's to a new coach utilizing the Sedins efficiently. Unfortunately, they are not complete players and cannot "do it all" like Toews does. Then again, those types of players are generational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrChill Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Vancouver Canucks @VanCanucks 7h Weve compiled a list of names and will probably start the interview process next week. - Benning on #Canucks Coach. Probably Washington. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerines Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Think it's odd that an organization would choose a coach before choosing a GM. Don't think its Washington at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Rumor up here in the interior is that Trotz is angling for the assistant coach job with Don Hay in Kamloops. Why would Trotz take a job without talking to the Canucks? How was that conversation to take place without a GM in place. No way would Linden have that talk before hiring a GM. In no way did I hear Benning say he would not hire a veteran coach. I suggest that Trotz will get a meeting fairly quickly. WASH: Have not hired a GM. Is ownership hiring a coach before a GM? Even that org is not that dysfunctional. FLA: Conflicting stories about how much money new ownership is prepared to spend there. The financial story is still a bad one there. If money is still an issue then why would Trotz want to have that experience again. Another aspect is attracting new UFA signings and keeping UFA's who can leave. If you were a UFA where would you want to play serious hockey FLA or VAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Linden and Benning have both said completely difference things when it comes to hiring coach. Linden stated he wanted experience, career coach and not someone who has no experience who would be just thrown in there. Whereas today Benning said something entirely different, the coach doesn't necessarily have experience as head coach, but experience winning. The local media has been talking about Doug Houda as if they've been leaked info that maybe he's getting hired as coach. Benning obviously knows Houda. Those things aren't at all "completely different" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Maybe Trotz is going to move into the front office as Washington GM? So a Pat Quinn kinda move? That could work. They'd have to bring in a really experienced assistant GM to make it work. I don't think Trotz has experience in contract negotiations, scouting, and cap management.

viking mama Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Not true. No announcement about a new gig for Trotz will be made within 48 hrs of the OPs post. That would set the buzzer at sometime before 6:45 pm Sunday....not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combover Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 well since Benning hasn't interviewed anybody and Trotz is announcing his decision its safe to say theres going to be a lot of disappointed vancouver fans that were really hoping to watch this team stand around in the neutral zone night in and night out. good news for the rest of us and hope OV likes his new coach.

73 Percent Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 lol hope ovi likes the bench. so oates is the leading candidate now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 funny how the second Benning was announced as GM. the Barry Trotz rumor gets started by Dregger. Can someone tell me what the hell was going on the past 2 months then?? What the hell is this b.s. Also why the hell is Washington looking for a coach first before a gm? Nice lies Dregger.

asian player Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 what if we stole Benning from Washington so they're stealing Trotz from us? This is weird though. Is he pulling a "Lebron" and announcing where he's going? That doesn't make sense. It's the team that announces it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Washington has terrible defence on all fronts. People are probably salivating at the idea of Trotz coming in and showing the Russians how to play responsibly.I don't think a Vancouver hire would be announced so quickly. They specifically mentioned, not just waiting a week, but that a candidate is still in the playoffs. I doubt they would hire someone so fast. And I hope they haven't.Personally I wouldn't have a problem with Trotz coming to the team. But I don't feel like he is a standout in the Coach pool. There are several solid options for us. And I'd be disappointed if we didn't grill them all before coming to a decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
