If the #Canucks promote Manny Malhotra to head coach, should they avoid drafting his son Caleb?
English
General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that Head Coach Adam Foote and Assistant Coaches Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett McLean have been relieved of their duties.
English
@ThomasDrance Just hire Manny already!! He’s a huge improvement over foote! Start the change now! Can we really see another year of Foote with Petey?
English
"Like with everything we're going to evaluate, look at areas that we can improve. We have a lot of departments that we think can get better, where we don't just want to be good but where we can be elite" - RJ on Adam Foote's future, declining to commit to him as Vancouver's HC
English
@ThomasDrance Just curious if you caught the part the part where Henrik said that “their best players should also be their hardest working players” was this a wake up call for Petey?
English
"We appreciate this rebuild will require patience, but we will ice a team that competes hard every night. Rebuilding and competing hard are not mutual exclusive," says Francesco Aquilini. #Canucks
English
@TrevBeggs You also forgot when asked the Sedin’s said that their hardest working players should be their best players. Knock on Petey for sure

Ryan Johnson on Elias Pettersson
“We want to wipe away all expectations for him”

Daniel recalls when they arrived in Vancouver the #Canucks were the number one team in the league in terms of community involvement and how they need to get back to that point.
English
@ThomasDrance Finally some hope!! Sedins are awesome RJ sounds like a great leader as well now just need to bring in Manny!!!
English
"We want to re-establish the connection from top to bottom between this organization... with the city and the Province of B.C." - Henrik Sedin. #Canucks

@TheStanchion Not sure if this could be true if Alvin was the GM and he couldn’t get a say with Rutherford what makes you think Johnson had any control over anything that the Canucks were doing?
English
Ryan Johnson could be a perfectly good hire.
But I think Gold represents a chance for real change. Someone who could come in and nuke everything. I think there’s a big appetite for that.
RJ feels like the same lineage that got this team into this terrible spot.

Friedman says he's hearing "momentum behind Ryan Johnson" in Vancouver, just now on the FAN Hockey Show
English
@CanucksArmy Id rather have Gold and his team. RJ is from the same regime. Don’t do it.
English
How would you feel if Ryan Johnson was named the next GM of the Vancouver Canucks?
English
@DhaliwalSports Whats taking so long here? Seriously at this point just pick one of them lol
English
I am team
- trade down (stay within the top 7 or 8)
- let the drafted player stew for a year
- be bad again
- use your stored lottery luck to get Landon DuPont next year
English
@DonTaylor5 @DonnieandDhali If they can only hire the right GM then maybe theres hope… who knows maybe SJ picks a D second?
English
Perrault. Neely. 3 Cup Final losses. 2 riots. Messier. Bure leaves. Lidstrom from centre. “My contract sucks”. Hughes leaves. The misery list is long for Canucks’ fans—-and now includes losing a draft lottery to, of all teams, the Leafs
English
I may be proven wrong, but I would say at this point that Pierre Dorion's chances of being the next Canucks GM are between nil and non-existent.
English

Dhaliwal: I wonder what the relationship is with Gillis and Aquilini. Would he want him back?
@DonnieandDhali
English
@ThomasDrance It sounded like it was Gillies job to lose? He was a front runner, any insight if Gillies will get another shot at a GM job soon?
English
I’m just genuinely sorry for Maple Leafs fans. For the second time in three years it’s been made abundantly clear that this is an organization with zero ability to evaluate executive talent.
