I hope going forward we never allow mediocrity on this team ever again like Benning & Green tolerated for almost a decade. "Perform or be gone" should be the team Motto going forward as it should be in any private sector company.

48MPHSlapShot Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm as happy that the clowns are gone as anyone, but do we really have to crap the fans that were trying to remain optimistic during Benning and Green's tenure? Seems like pretty crappy fan etiquette to me. I'd like to think we're better than that. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the long term solution. Smyl is a placeholder until we hire a real GM. The problem is going to be finding a high quality GM who can take us to the promised land who doesn't mind working under Aquilini. That may be a difficult assignment. Remember, the first thing Aquilini did when he became owner was to fire Brian Burke. Burke then went to Anaheim and won a Cup two years later. We were left with Dave Nonis. Mike Gillis then took over the team Burke assembled and pushed for a Cup. It didn't work and Benning came in to rebuild. Now Benning is gone and we are back to square one. Boudreau could easily be long term. 900+ games, 2nd winningest record over 900 gms, no B$ guy. A new GM will not want to terminate if the team is winning.

I have no ill feeling towards Travis and would like to thank him for doing a good job developing the young players. But they need a new coach at this point to take the next step. You can certainly thank him for the effort but PLEEEEEASE don't thank him for developing one single young player. ALL OF THEM have regressed under his reign of terror and destruction and this team doesn't have one single regular player on the roster that was developed on our farm team that he had a big part of in past years - which is also in total disaray and in need of major surgery! Let's not be too patronizing in the moment. He left this team IN SHAMBLES and should be escorted to city limits tonight given a courtesey handshake and pointed out of town!

BigTramFan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I'm really looking forward to see what this team can do later on this season under a decent coach with good systems. It should shine some light on who stays long term. I am expecting that we will retain the core (Pettersson, Horvat, Hughes, Demko) going forward. I also can't see us being able to move OEL, Myers, Pearson, Hamonic, Dickinson, Poolman due to their contract lengths and/or AAV. I would be on board with something like a trade of pending RFA Boeser to NYR in exchange for 20 year old RHD Schneider. Also I would consider trading Rathbone for picks or a player in a position of need (Hughes and OEL have the offensive and left side D locked up for the next 5 years). Bring in some future assets. Then sign some decent role playing UFAs in the off season. Although most of these guys are older players they could be an excellent fit with our young core, the UFA targets I like are: McNabb, 30 year old LD, 6'4", 215lb, hits hard, fights, would be our main LD on PK. $3.75m x 3 years Sturm, 26 year old left shot C, 6'3", 207lb, 56% f/o this season, 60% dZS, excellent shutdown and PK center. MIN will struggle to afford to resign him. $2.2m x 4 years Acciari, 30 year old right shot C/RW, 203lb heavy for 5'10", 50% f/o over last 2 seasons, plays gritty, can shutdown and can score. Good on the PK. $1.65m x 2 years Deslauriers, 30 year old LW/RW, 6'3" 219lb heavy weight enforcer that can actually play a good shutdown game. $1.5m x 2 years Rodrigues, 28 year old right shot C/RW, 5'11" 184lb, has scored at a 20 goal/82 games pace in the last 2 seasons. Good to center PP2 and provides excellent center depth to our top 6 for cheap. $1.5m x 3 years And resign Motte $2m x 4 years. Roster for next season with about $2m in cap space leftover: Pettersson Horvat Hoglander Garland Miller Podkolzin Motte Sturm Rodrigues Pearson Acciari Deslauriers (Dickinson/Lockwood) OEL Myers Hughes Hamonic McNabb Poolman (Schenn/Burroughs) Demko (Dipietro/Silovs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmonk Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 If green is gone who's gonna coach the Canucks bench for LA game... man let aquaman coach 1 game is all I ask for so the fans can throw more jerseys at him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 It got to a point where the talent level on this team had reached the point it had outgrown Green. Green is good at getting the most out of lesser talented teams, he worked well with kids in the AHL and in the early stages of the Canucks rebuild. But make no mistake, Boudreau is a much higher caliber of talent than Green and for once he will bring emotion and fire into the locker room. Canucks got a grade A and underrated coach. Washington didn’t appreciate him and took him for granted now we have a Crawford caliber talent. I’m sure Smyle will lit him assemble his own staff. We might miss Benning’s late round gems at the draft but we’ve reached a point in this franchises evolution that it’s not as important anymore.

A new GM will not want to terminate if the team is winning. Not sure about, his record cause a quick interweb church it doesn't match your claim - care to elaborate (?); but when you compare it to Green, it doesn't even come close. My only concern, with Boudreau, is his playoff record cause that seems to be his greatest failure and main reasons for being fired. Anyways, if he can make this roster a playoff team - then with Demko, the Canucks will still have a chance to compete.
