MeanSeanBean Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/anaheim-believed-interested-travis-green-head-coach/ I hope he doesn't get poached from us... Even though I think keeping Willie on for the rest of his contract is the right move, it would be a shame if we lost him before next fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Not a whole lot of options out there right now, Green might be near the top of their list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ex heat coach Troy ward got hired on for Utica; he's Travis greens replacement. Willie should be replaced by Travis Green - done so much with so very little in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Ughhh, I hope they go with someone more experienced in the bigs. I'd hate to lose him, he's been tremendous for our squad in Utica and could potentially be tremendous for us in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanSeanBean Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Bruiser Bob could be a good fit for Perry and the mighty meatheads. But agreed DeNiro.. He is a good option for them. I was really hoping to see him in Van next year, but he's gotta do what's right for his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything he did in Calgary was good, if it was he'd still have a job there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again everything is pure speculation at the moment. Travis Green deserves a shot in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't hired, just a hot rumour as a Green's replacement if Green was hired elsewhere. All Green said was he felt he was ready to coach in the NHL.

JV77 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't WD the top AHL coach and won a calder with Texas? Why is everything making a big deal about Travis Green and not losing him? Doubt Canucks get in the way of an NHL opportunity for Green. WD was the most sought after coach and we got him and now fans care more about Green and want WD gone lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a familiarity thing more than anything. Players who have been coached by him will know exactly what to expect so in theory the transition for them at the next level would be easier.

There are more young guys on the Canucks roster that have only been with Willie than there are quality young guys in Utica that will make an NHL impact. Hutton, McCann, Virtanen, Horvat, Tryamkin have never played under Green. Who do see from Utica making a similar NHL impact that would make Green a better choice than the relationship Willie has with those five I named? Those thinking Willie be be fired to bring Green up are dreaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those thinking Willie be be fired to bring Green up are dreaming. Well I said after next season so he would potentially have a whole season with guys like Demko, McCann, Stecher, and Neill. Also Horvat, Hutton, and Virtanen have all played for Green even if it was for a small amount of time. Virtanen spent the most time with him since he was a part of the comets run last year. Green's assessment of his game going into the summer was likely a big part of what he would have worked on to take the next step. Beyond that Baertschi and Markstrom took huge strides under Green. Next season Gaunce, Zalewski, Pedan, Kenins and Grenier could all make the jump. In the future call ups could include Subban, Cassels, Friesen, and Labate. Don't forget Green spends alot of time in camp with all our young players and is a big part of helping them identify what they need to work on. He's watched alot of these guys over the last couple years and knows where their game needs improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with keeping Willie and I still think he's the guy for the job, but I wouldn't want to lose Green either, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
