Until the Sedin's are retired, the rebuild hasn't even started. A team that signs free agents for 6Mx6, and tried to sign Lucic for another 6Mx6, is not committed to a rebuild.

A coaching change does nothing for us now except possibly drive us in to the bubble. It does little for us next year either. Staying the course is not a bad thing at this point in time I don't mind keeping Desjardan but I really love What Julian could do for us. I think he'll treat boeser like pastrnak horvat like Bergeron and virtanen like lucic Tryamkin like chara. I think the team benning was trying to build was like the 2011 Bruins and I wouldn't mind that because we'd be the younger version. I'm excited either way but I still would rather have Julian because we need to have something new to get fans in the arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfstonker Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I say no, we keep Willie. He is doing a good job and most of those whining for a change are bandwaggoners and media stooges who haven't a clue. - imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and doesn't trade any aging vets for picks at two TDLs. Don't forget that too. And has a president publicly state, "it would not be fair to the Twins" to rebuild. Don't forget that. Any more evidence we are not rebuilding? We are simply turning over our roster via the "retool". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Can't believe im saying this but I actually wouldn't mind if Julien were brought in. He's obviously qualified and if he has chemistry with JB it makes sense. That said, Willy is doing fine in my opinion... for all the second guessing done, coaching is the least of our concerns. Still a ways to go rebuilding the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's little to no point in trying to salvage a season right now with a coaching change IMO Nah, it wouldn't be for that, that could only happen if some kind of crazy trade happened like Hutton and Virtanen for Duchene. Its funny, my desire for the Canucks to be successful is having a war with my hate for Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Have we had playoff success? No Have we had regular season success? 1/3 Is Willie capable of out-coaching opponents during games? No Has Willie made some very questionable line decisions? Yes Not sure that qualifies him to coach a team over Julien. Not saying Julien is the right fit for us, but he certainly has a better resume.

spook007 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 NO.... just no no no no no... Getting chills by the thought of opening Canucks official web page, and the first thing I see, is that sweaty, despicable pig starring at me. No please just never....

spook007 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 1 hour ago, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: I might not phrase things the same way but pretty much share the sentiment. He's a very good coach. I'd say top-10 anyway (not sure I'd agree with Ferraro about top-5 though). But very good regardless. But as far as off the ice stuff goes, I really don't like the guy. And that goes back to before 2011. Post-2011, I'd say I pretty much hate him. Just his press statements and general dimeanor rubs me the wrong way. Can't imagine having to see his face on the bench and listen to him during the pressers every game. He'd have to be extremely successful here, and pretty much immediately, or his act would wear thin really quick for me. I'll second that...
