TheRussianRocket. Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 @DavidEbner: Sounds like Canucks Jonathan Wall, director hockey ops & analytics, gets a big promotion, to fill in the work of Laurence Gilman. Bio via team website:http://canucks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=60828"As the Director of Hockey Operations & Analytics, Jonathan Wall works with Assistant General Managers, Player Development and Amateur and Professional Scouts on a variety of hockey operations tasks including salary cap analysis and planning, contract analysis, immigration, entry draft, free agency, college scouting, training and development camps as well as any special projects as directed by the General Manager. Wall began his tenure with Canucks Sports & Entertainment in 1998 as the Scouting Information Coordinator. Previously in 1996, Wall worked as the Equipment Manager for the Vancouver Voodoo roller hockey team. Prior to that, Wall worked with the UBC Varsity Hockey Team as the Team Manager while he completed his degree in Sports Management at the University of British Columbia." ..For those who think the firings were some sort of rejection of analytics. Won't pretend like I know Wall but from the sounds of it, liking this. Promotion of an analytics guy is always a positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zverta Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Any news of the reasoning for moving on from the old regime? It's not like our team $&!# the bed last season, and the guy that we've entrusted the future of this team to (Benning) just came from a team that's heading into a horrendous direction (Boston - Don Sweeney). Yup, Chiarelli is gone, but he didn't exactly right the ship after 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The real question is, why do we still have Ron Delorme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I've seen this guy around lots. I'm sure he will do a great job. Linden believes in him so I believe in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edlerberry Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 at least someone in management has a 4 year degree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Any news of the reasoning for moving on from the old regime? Generals like to go to war with their own men, not hand-me-downs. Pretty much common practice in all of pro sports despite CDC claiming the sky is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Soldier Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 But someone on twitter said that Benning and Linden hate analytics! It must be true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canorth Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 OMG stupid Benning...(who the f* is Jonathan Wall?) I have no idea who this is, but it he is probably stupid. Meat and potato BS....stupid draft picks....get a brain Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zverta Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 A part-time Assistant General Manager? Interesting that they made this decision on Day 2 of Free Agency and not before the Draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Delorme still employed. Hmmmm I'm of the belief that Delorme has naughty pictures of the Aqualinis somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah im interested to see what he can bring to this team. Maybe he can find us players that can just dunk the punk into the net Would love to see some punks dunked;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awalk Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 To be thrown into firepit at later date, presumably after another brutal draft or five. I think they plan to fired him on February 29th next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimberWolf Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'm of the belief that Delorme has naughty pictures of the Aqualinis somewhere. I'm of the belief that firing Delorme is like firing that lazy guy with the nervous tic at the post office Too risky for your survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
