Me too. I mean yes there’s always a place for second chances but I have a hard time ever excusing that kind of behaviour. To me you have to have some serious character flaws to ever beat on your spouse, alcohol involved or not. Even if you can put that aside his resume isn’t impressive, so I’m not sure what they’re impressed by exactly. Is he just very charismatic?

Even if you can put that aside his resume isn’t impressive, so I’m not sure what they’re impressed by exactly. Is he just very charismatic? Well he's been interviewed for at least 3 other GM vacancies in the past. So it's fair to say that he's 'well respected' within the industry. ... Which is part of the problem. I to have a problem with the interview as for me the 'off ice' behavior should be weighted equally to the on ice performance. This may mean that Burke and the like, might be the most qualified and best fit for this team. However, their character matters even more. If you hire a person with questionable character, at such a high position, with so much influence, what message are you sending to the rest if the organization and fans alike? If Burke comes out and shows the steps he's taken to get healthier. Can prove through his actions since, that he's healed and made amends with those he has wronged... Then maybe I'd be okay with the hiring but ultimately, I'd rather go with someone else... Even if less qualified. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) There are some real rumblings coming out of Tampa. Mathieu Darches name is out there right now. The lightning are advertising a job opening for the position of Assitant General Manager and Director of Hockey Operations which just happens to be Darches role. He is believed to be one of the remaining candidates. Would not leave a comment when asked about the Canucks open GM position. Would be.. amazing. Rick Dhaliwal amongst sources. This has some real legs to it. Edited January 25, 2022 by DeltaSwede 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Darche with Futa or Allvin as the last assistant would be amazing. I wonder where MacFarlands name is at right now. Still in the mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Pierre LeBrun @PierreVLeBrun · 1h Add Mathieu Darche's name to the Vancouver GM search mix. Hearing that Darche interviewed and is among the final 5 Canucks GM candidates. Patrik Allvin, Scott Mellanby, Sean Burke also among final candidates. Obviously there's another candidate as well.

kanucks25 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 No surprise: Irf: Talking to a few players, they look at this mgmt team and some of them were like ok we got people that know what they're doing here. Not to say they didn't know what they were doing before but it is a little different now with the people in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
