boscorevat Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I have read somewhere that the Canucks haven't renewed Ian Clarks contract yet and also he most likely won't come back next year. He wasn't offered an extension when he was with Columbus mid-season and walked after the season. I would really hope that the Canucks would renew his contract but I don't think that's gonna happen. What do you guys think about his chances of getting his contract renewed? I don't think he'll be back but I really hope that I'm wrong since he's a great goalie coach. I think that if he leaves, then I don't think Demko will be the same without him. I think he should be a top priority to get re-signed because of how well he develops goalies. If I'm wrong about my statement about Clark, then I hope someone could enlighten me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Elliotte Friedman says Canucks should be signing Ian Clark's extension now. Says waiting will bite them. Thoughts? For me it seems to be a no brainer. If JB's hands are tied by ownership he should be finding a way. If Aqua has not been involved then it seems very curious. Has Clark expressed a desire to go elsewhere? I have not heard that reported. Meanwhile... why is DiPietro still not playing anywhere... Thanks all. Look forward to hearing your comments. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kanucks25 Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 Everyone knows I think Benning has done his fair share of stupid things but even I don't think Benning is capable of doing something as stupid as letting him go for no good reason. It takes two to tango; it's very possible Clarke's ask is absurdly high and you can't really blame him given the work he's done here. He likely knows other teams will match his ask, so he has the leverage. If I'm a team that has really struggled in the goaltending department as of late, why wouldn't I headhunt him? If we're penny-pinching, that's on Aquilini. But I doubt Aquilini thinks that a goalie coach is an optional asset. I think this is a significant story on its own but it's definitely being exacerbated by the recent departures of other seemingly key members of the organization like Brackett and Malhotra. Maybe it's nothing, but there's a lot of smoke. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Baumgartner. Who do you think is making him look good? Baumgartner's system. That's right. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't think we shall worry about losing IC, as Benning isn't an idiot. If he let's him walk then even I'll be on the fire Benning wagon, and I've been a supporter through thick and thin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Quantum Posted March 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2021 I don't believe this is a Benning call. If Benning could make the call, I bet he'd re-sign Ian Clark right now. This is definitely an Aqua delay. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing John Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 We’ve had 2 of the best goalie coaches in the league the last decade, to lose both would be completely unacceptable. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Elliotte is bitter that his Laffs have lost 5 of 6....so he's parrotting the second hand drama peddled by Woodley.... EF's best material does tend to be derivative. Anyhow - yawn. If Clark wants to return - great. If not, I'm sure the Leafs or Flames will be happy to continue to follow in Canuck footsteps.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
