smokes Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 After Demko signing for 5 years, the Canucks need to lock up Ian Clark. He is by far the best goaltending coach the Canucks have had. If Benning can't keep him then I just give up. Bennign has just let too many good people go. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacholu Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Idk guys. I think he is asking for autonomy and wants to take credit for Demko's success. We all know it's all JB who should be praised for goalie development. Don't count on him being back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I am hoping they bring Clark back. The fact he hasnt received an extension yet does not give me a lot of confidence though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been making posts here calling for Clark to be signed asap for a long time.... But it's not entirely Bennings choice. Maybe Clark wanted to see Demko signed long term .. he wants a stud to work with and ges got one in Demmer. Or maybe Clark wants to go to Florida and coach Bobs back to a Vezina. I think he re signs here. Hes got a great kid in Demko to turn into a superstar signed long term. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry is that Ian Clark doesn't resign because Benning isn't exactly great at retaining good people. Benning drove out Malholtra, Brackett, Linden. Stories of him not being a good communicator. There are lots of things that make me think Clark would not stay because Benning is not the best guy to work for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a bad guy to work for that both of the bolded guys grew professionally enough under his watch to take on more responsibility in their new roles. Goalies are usually a little eccentric anyway, so it's hard to tell what's going through Clark's mind. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just brought in to change the image of the team. More a marketing thing than hockey thing. Canucks were the most hated team in the NHL by other fan bases and also the other teams and players. Linder did his part and left at a good time.. But JB lost 2 very good staff members in Gillman and Brackett. I think its more to do with his sidekick John Weisbroad. He's a dimwit....

Or maybe he's got his eyes on another franchise with a promising prospect that he'd like to take a stab at. Like a guy with shattered confidence but clearly has the tools to get better. Like Carter Hart. Or somebody unknown. I'd find it difficult to imagine he wouldn't get offered a deal, but he might just want a new/different challenge somewhere else regardless of what is on the table. Some people live for the challenge because they're set 'enough' by whatever they get... it won't be "poor house" money anyway. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta like the city and the fact he has a great, young, big game goalie in Demko. That's gotta be enticing. Allaire had Patrick Roy Hasek had Mitch Korn. The way Demko looked under pressure having to come in for an injured Marky in last year's playoffs. That was an amazing performance. He's been playing great again this season albeit a slow start. On top of all that we have a great young group of talent on D and especially at forward. I dont think Clark should want to leave this situation. We'll find out. Thats what makes sports fun. .

How is that driving someone out? Brackett made demands that were unrealistic for a GM from a scouting background, he made his own bed on that one. Linden was fired or resigned with Aqua being his boss, not really on JB there. I actually would be more impressed with someone driving their boss out. Gilman was fired under Linden's watch. So really the only one that you can argue JB drove out was Brackett. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning is the one that brought Clark in and he seems to like him. I bet if it was up to Benning, Clark would already be re-signed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
