I'd bet (with the possible exception of Goldy) that the player Sutter goes hardest on is Sutter.

He wouldn't play Goldy.  McKenzie was just saying that he was not on the same page as management re playing the kids - he says it became apparent the last two weeks when they called up young players.

Hitchcock for up to 2 years and Green as his assistant. Green succeeds Hitchcock.

OMG Darryl Sutter is available. He's the coaching version of GMJB. He's the guy. He's a hockey man a la carte. Love the Green idea. However, the Canucks would be much better served by having a true hockey mind who has played the game and won the Cups.

I want the crow his first time around here he was a hot head now that he is older he is more level headed I think he would be great for our young offensive players with his offensive style of coaching his body of work with Ottawa speaks for itself.

[AlamoCanuck]

Travis Green.  To all the people suggesting Green would bench young players for poor play.  Any coach does; but unlike WD, Green understands growing pains and would not bench a young player who scored a goal in a game for a mistake later in a game to put Chaput/Magna back with the Sedins.  Trevor Said it, "Willie wants to win"  not a coach to give developing players ice time....one who "plays safe" with 3rd/4th line checkers in behind situations...play to not lose is a sure way not to play to win.  Green Gets this.   Torts was wrong for a Veteran team...WD wrong for a developing team.  WD a good coach..for a Veteran team and I hope him the best..but glad he gone from our Developing team go GO GREEN!

Hoping for anyone but Sutter. 

 

I hate boring hockey. Paul Maclean is intriguing to me. He did a great job in Ottawa.

To the Green supporters he had some young players added to his roster recently but refused to use them even with injuries he didn't give them a look does this sound familiar?

Admit it, you only like him because of the 'stache!

I want Dallas Eakins

 

He's very underrated and he's great with young players. Look what he did with the Marlies and now the Gulls. Lots of success in the AHL but can he do it in the NHL? He wasn't very good in Edmonton.

When the next McDavid comes along, there will be a bidding war for Dallas Eakins.

Absolutely, any year there is a generational talent available in the draft, you should actually want to tank.

Crow or Sutter.  But those are my choices based on nothing but my preference.

Yea, but your username suggests you are bias towards Maclean for reasons other than his coaching ability

Which players are these?  I doubt they are elite prospects as we seem to be short on them.  Since he is in the hunt for the playoffs adding fringe AHL players to your lineup doesn't really make sense.

hitch cant even get on the ice with his team anymore ..  health and weight issues have hampered his chances of being a head coach again .. 

 

 

[CeeBee51]

I got nothing against senior citizens  but we need a younger head coach

[Vinny in Vancouver]

Ryan Miller. He seems to know how to both motivate hyper-sensitive guys like Goldobin (should have gotten assists on those 2 goals) and also to shoot laser stares when Edler and Sbis screws up.
