I.Am.Ironman Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 wow both Gallant and Julien on the market. There hasn't been this many quality coaches available for quite some time. 2 minutes ago, AlwaysACanuckFan said: I bet they are dancing in the Vegas front office! And you would have to think in Jim Benning's office as well.. although I don't think Julien is our guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien will have lots of options, with much better teams, if he waits this summer. I doubt a rebuilding like Vegas would be his 1st option.

It's hard to envision anyone else coaching that team. He just looks like a bruins coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I would think that the Jets would be a team particularly attractive to Julien. Size, speed, youth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB5 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Julien sure has had an impressive run over the last 10 years as the Bruins coach. I respect his success but as has been said, I don't think he is the guy for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will take his time as he's still going to be paid for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 I wonder if Julien would love players like Megna and Larsen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Julien threw management under the bus, by saying there wasn't enough talent. There isn't much more in Vancouver, Garth is right, he's not the right coach for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't much more in Vancouver, Garth is right, he's not the right coach for the Canucks. He's not entirely wrong though They shipped out everyone of note including Seguin then couldn't re-sign the only viable return piece in Eriksson, Leddy Ference and Boychuk are gone, Seidenberg and Lucic. Chara went downhill fast as well He in 3 years was left with an aged Chara, Bergeron Marchand and the oft injured Krejci from the 2011 cup win and subsequent finals appearance shortly after. I mean looking at it wow it was fast. That being said, he couldn't really get much out of the newcomers or change his style of play. So it's on him. He won't be unemployed long. **Edited content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
