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. Burke was on sportsnet 650 and said teams don't need a president.. I also wonder about this president role. It seems to be a position that was started not too long ago and has taken off a bit (did it start of in the US market?). I don't recall the Canucks having one before Linden. I thought of Linden as stepping in during a tough time in Nuck history and offering up his reputation as the face of the franchise. He seemed to take on much of the interactions with the press and fans/community and certainly was a good choice for that role. At the same time, those interactions (especially the press) could be very trying and I expect he got tired of all the BS. He did exactly what he agreed to do and has left the team in a much better place. I don't think the Canucks need another President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Ward Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ken Holland. He is from Vernon. He would only come though if Francesco would commit to leave him to do his job. He is a class act. He would work well with Benning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Dean Lombardi sounds good to me. He has lots of experience has a great resume which includes Stanley Cups and has lots of respect around the league. No more rookies leading the mgmt team and learning on the job. Let's get a guy in here who knows what he's doing on day one and hits the ground running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 2 hours ago, HerrDrFunk said: Found this quote written about him. I think this was from march 2017: Lombardi has clearly valued the draft more than any other GM in Kings history and the talent the Kings have drafted is the envy of hockey clubs around the league. ... With a young, solid core in place – a core that also features great character – Lombardi has been able to compliment that group with key veterans who sport a winning track record. ... Despite such talent, Lombardi still firmly believes that you draft and develop your homegrown players and that you compliment that group in other ways, and the Kings remain a young team which coincides with Lombardi’s philosophy and track record that your team needs to get better while getting younger.

In reality, we need a business man to be the president, not necessarily a GM or ex-NHLer. Bob Nicholson would have been great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
