Guest Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Until we know who it is, we should all be wary. The grass isn't always greener on the other side, and any new President has the potential to un-do all the work of resetting this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this but see it as a thorny issue. If the GM is young or inexperienced his/her (haha) ego will dictate "putting their own stamp on the team" which means Jim is gone as are many of his acquisitions. A young prez will see Jim as a threat, and rightfully so. If it is true that Jim and Aqua colluded to force Trevor out, it puts any new Prez in a compromised position, and Jim still needs to go. If you find a Prez with enough experience to be able to see the good things Jim has done, and one that does not desire the long term job,(like Lou in TO) you still have to wonder if Jim would be willing to stay on or whether he walks before seeming to be demoted. Ego is a big part of sport, and this situation is fraught with potential ego and distrust issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odjick29willkillyou Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Let's bring back this guy!!! He would probably put banana peels on the ground for the other President's and GMs to slip on. Maybe a whoopie cushion on the chair or the old air horn below the office chair trick. Bring in the Dudesons as player consultants. MHFA: "Make Hockey Fun Again!"

They said they would consider returning to hockey in a management position. With two of them they would be able to do a better job overseeing all areas of the team. Everyone in management likes them and respects their input already. I wouldn't be surprised if Trev offered them the job. He doesn't seem to be the guy who likes being in the spotlight. This is the Sedins team and they can relate to the players on the team better than Linden can. on Do you really think they would entertain this kind of job? I would bet they would rather be playing next year! To this day I thought they would still be here and on the ice (second line or even third line) helping the very young roster that we have. . .

This will be very interesting until they hire a president to run the business side. Jim is now in charge of all hockey matters and he has to convince Canucks owners on any big moves.
