He also said that it would be difficult for him at this point because of his young family. An offer from Vancouver might work for him since he lives here. So he can basically talk the talk then..... Can you imagine the reaction when Benning spots Boston a pick to get Lando here to make dad happy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LateNightBus Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I wonder if Martin Gelinas would want to come back to the Canucks as assistant coach? liked him as a player. He may have to many ties to Calgary now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I got the impression that Ferraro would say yes to a position that could develop into a GM's job. But no to coaching because of the travel and the hours that an assistant puts in. I think he's got the brains for it. Or, follow a similar path as fellow broadcaster and ex-player John Davidson who became President of the St Louis Blues at age 53. Ferraro is 51.

And if things dont go well this year, fire WD and bring back Torts as assistant and promote Hartley. Make them become good friends. Don't push this.

Would like a special teams coach and someone good with youth but experienced. Who's available? Whom ever coaches the Harlem Globe Trotters.

insomniac604 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I wish Travis Green changed his mind. It's a long jump between head of there, and head of here. A season of being an assistant is invaluable experience. Willie is a great coach but is now on a short leash. Another year of missing the playoffs and I can smell the vacancy. Said vacancy will undoubtedly be filled by Green. Would feel better if he had a year under his belt at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two ways it plays out ; he either successes Willie or uses the position to leverage himself a new team the following year. Willie came up from the same place. I love him as a coach and am confident about next season. But if he fails, I would be hesitant to hire someone lacking NHL experience. I can totally understand somebody not wanting to go from "head" to "assistant". But there are nuances within the league, and around the players, you have to learn. I'd rather he learn now than learn on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desiboynux4lifee******* Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 ahhhh nuff of this. If Canucks are serious then please get a assistant who knows the game and has a stanely cup ring, it will make a huge difference. Willie sometimes needs a freaking talking to when he does stunts on the bench. An assistant coach should be one the players admire and has good communication skills with the young youth we hope Benning can get, even though he's far too busy dreaming about sedins lifting a cup.

Willie is a total players coach and we saw him have some trouble when it came to match ups, face offs and trusting players vs their actual contributions. the last season was kind of a wash because with so many injuries nobody had an opportunity for anything. but the first season, especially in the playoffs, was a wakeup call. In today's NHL situational play is a huge factor. you can't trust your guys to be good. you have to put them in the best possible position for their skillset. Willie is still grasping this. Travis can only learn it first-hand. Jumping in might work, but probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad Niedermeyer isn't into coaching yet cause he would be the perfect fit. Soft spoken guy but one of those guys that commands instant respect. He's been around the game long enough I'm sure he would have invaluable knowledge for the young guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Naslund would have a vision of the game as a goal scorer most other coaches don't have, and pass some of that on to the younger guys, so yah.

Goal:thecup Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 What about Shaun Clouston? He just coached the Canadian U18s, I think, but I don't know how long that engagement lasts. Also, was with Willie and the Tigers in Medicine Hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, that's an immediate win, but it means he will get a HC job next year for sure. if Willie does well, that prices Travis out of town an honest win-win would be TG becoming an assistant to WD and moving forward from there. TG battling for a head coach spot is a predicament, for sure. we are so very lucky to see him not move this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people here are happy that Flames didn't pick Green but don't you think if the Flames thought Green was a better and more ready NHL Head coach they would have went for him and not Gulutzan? Maybe Gulutzan could have been the better option for the team if WD does get fired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
