The majority of current NHL GM's are ex players and they had to start somewhere. With hockey knowledge, ability to evaluate players/talent and drive/ambition they could do very well. I think they are bringing a fresh perspective, attitude and maybe some ideas. I believe they will start working more closely with our AHL affiliate with player development etc.They don't necessarily need to know exactly what the are doing off the bat, but they know hockey and likely can evaluate players etc. Edited June 23, 2021 by CJ44 6 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class, common sense, zero ego, a love for the city and team, respect of piers - all good things and absolutely they should be listened to. I have a feeling the fact that the twins were never able to bring a cup to Vancouver will only drive them more to bring one here in another way.

Nucker 67 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Listening more, this could be real good. It almost sounds like they'll be the go-between the coaching staff and players to the GM. Awesome that they want to get to know the team, the players, and see if they have that trust in each other to take them to the Promiseland. This will improve the room big time, if there are issues that is. Losing Tanev was a big loss. They brought in Holtby and his turtles to replace Marky, and then the energetic joker Schmidt. Hamonic became Hughes' new D partner. Miller was a miserable SOB all season. The room changed I think. Sedins will change it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we weren’t gonna get someone who was usually good for 25-30 goals and 60+ points for cheap. And honestly I doubt anyone saw him falling off a cliff like he did.

J-P Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Hope you noticed the comments about winning your matchup vs getting points + the young players have to take a step each year... That's how you win . Wish I wouldn't have to go there but peple are seriously still thinking the twins are the sole reason Boston turned that series around? The rest of the team did their part in the last 3 games right? Edited June 23, 2021 by J-P 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of one thing Vancouverites/ Nucks-faithfull can be certain: these two will do all they humanly can in interests of the franchise. It means a lot to fully trust efforts/intents at the top.

alt kilgore Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) Seconding that congratulations! The net gain of simply adding more voices with NHL experience is a bonus. That JB will at least have to hear, and pretend to listen to. For that reason alone I'm in favour. Of course its yet another add of the long line "rookie" execs, from Gillis on, so as not to intimidate the owners into feeling they are not free to wade in on decisions. Its thrilling for Hank and Danny, and I'm happy for them. But how much influence will they have? How much should they have? We'll see. If Bieksa had written that as an autonomous poster on here, he'd get a few paper bags from the bleeding hearts I'm sure. If you read between the lines its a bit of a jab that that part of player evaluation may be a blind spot for them. And JB made it clear, although he also praised Linden in much the same way, that they would be involved in the draft, pro scouting, and FA signings. Great, especially for their Swedish player connections. But their definition of toughness is how many cross checks and punches you can take....and skate away. We need the other kind of toughness too. And with their stressing about helping shape the "culture" of the team doesn't that make anyone a tiny bit nervous? I'm sure they had a big say in advocating to sign LE. Not a player in the mold of what had worked best as their winger in Burr, and the style of what works on other teams 1st line too like a Gallagher, but a soft, (supposedly skilled) forward. Its a further move towards the Swedification of the Canucks. Reminds me of some teams on the East Coast of the US that have attracted a strong Russian core. Its becoming an attractive place for Swedish, and other Nordic nation players. A lot because of who else was, and is, here, and helped create a welcome community. Which isn't a bad thing at all. Especially if that attracts the cream of the crop from that area of the world. Its a positive move for sure. . . .
