That doesn't scream offensive minded coach to me. Stetcher didn't have many points in his short stint. I think horvat had 0 pts in 10 games. Virtanen is struggling to find the scoreboard. To be fair, he hasn't had much real offensive talent to work with. Particularly of the primary/creating variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they did hire hime it is a better team already. You're clueless. Hitchcock has a mile long track record of screwing up developing young players. Ask Nikita Filatov. He's a great coach. I just don't want him coaching this club. His style of hockey is boring as ****. He has done alot of good for some young guys, but he's also ruined others.

Darius Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Babcock would have finished bottom 5 with this roster too. When half of your team belongs in the AHL it wont matter who coaches. That said Willie did some bizarre things, and a change was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case Willie's salary was never made public so I highly doubt it was over 1 mil per so no biggie. why would the Canucks have to pay a coach who's employed elsewhere?

In the earlier days it would have easier to take as Canucks talk/info wouldn't have been so widely available, except around the water cooler and the daily newspaper. I think a lot of people are totally ok with a rebuild. We just want to see some sort of plan and a consistent sense of direction. The communication from staff and management has been a mess and with all the mixed messages and odd moves nobody really knows what's happening. It's the sense of waffling that irks people. Give us a clear path and we'll be all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My seats last year were right over top of the bench and I could see Doug talking to Nikita after every single shift and you could see the improvement in him almost game to game.

VanGnome Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Interesting that Jarvis was spared. Seems like Jarvis with the extensive associate NHL coaching experience may be the next head coach, and Green as an associate at the NHL level. I really do want either Gallant or Crow though if I'm being perfectly honest, but I think Jarvis might be good, I just don't know enough about him.

So far the candidate list is probably Crawford, Ruff, Hitchcock i think one of the most important things a new coach will have to do is to mold Tryamkin into something. I don't remember a player with such a wide variety of possible tiles and styles of play ahead of him. He could mimic any of Chara, big Buff, Pronger, Jovanovski, Hal Gill, or something entirely unique. Most other players, you know what type they are... just have to see how good a version of it they will become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo2337 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Gallant would be my first choice. There was a time I wanted Green to come in, but I'm fearing he might be Willie 2.0. Who knows though, we may see another coach become available with a first round exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL stopped that last year if I recall. We were one of the last teams to receive that type of compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarvis was forced on Willie this year, he's one of the most respected assistant coaches in the league. I think they are going to go with Green or Crow.

messier's_elbow Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think they should have kept him. He was good with the young guys. I guess management didn't like that 8 game losing streak at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
