Former Exalted Ruler
I think the real Dim Jim was deep sixed by the Aquilinis and replaced at the draft by the Just for Men imposter. Linden found out and is currently in the witness protection program.
Burn baby burn!
I have to admit that I'm going to quite enjoy watching this management team consume each other.
Found this gem on the main board
Please learn about PR before commenting. The narrow myopia seen in your posts tells me you don't know enough about it to comment with any certainty. You've admitted to not knowing much about it, but are commenting as if you do. If you did, you would know that a big rule of PR is to 'get out in front of the story'. Aquilini hasn't done this. It's an error.
Although to be fair a used Miata is one of the most underrated performance vehicles money can buy.They are saying they are going to be younger then buying spray on hair and a base model miata with 300k on it.
Do you work in PR for a living? If not, please don't pretend to be an expert and comment. I know that in your mind you are like an expert at everything, but like I told you many times, you're living in your own head. Considering that you think the owners of a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars should hold a press conference to address an average bob who went on social media complaining about a product he bought, you clearly know very little.
Be Proactive, Be Transparent, Be Accountable
In today’s real-time world of social media, and with critics everywhere, reputation management matters more than ever and it can be lost in an instant. The tenets of any crisis communication are to be proactive, be transparent, and be accountable. When put into action it looks like this: acknowledge the incident, accept responsibility, and apologize.
I'm going to break down for you why your post simply serves to reinforce your initial myopic and thin view of the subject matter:
You ignored my question. I admitted to not knowing much about PR and you took that as I shouldn't comment. So my question to you is do you work in PR for a living, if no, maybet you shouldn't comment either with such certainty. I think it's fair given your comments. Just taking a page out of your playbook. Answer the question.
Regardless of the semantics/logistics/etc of Linden's ousting there's really only one thing that matters: The failed "rebuild on the fly" crew is firmly in the drivers seat (and ownership is on board with fringe playoff contention versus a long-term vision to win a Stanley Cup). We're all screwed because if there's one thing the people in charge (i.e. Benning crew) have proven it's that they're terrible at evaluating NHL talent and have no business attempting to build a pro-level roster.
They've achieved a passing grade at the amateur and draft level, but are abject failures at trades, contracts, and anything to do with NHL hockey operations. How the Aquilinis could look at this current management group and consider them qualified to "rebuild on the fly" is absolutely mystifying.
These are the guys who attempted to contend for the post-season since being hired, but have manufactured some of the worst season-long records in franchise history. I don't doubt "the potato" could seriously have garnered a better NHL record over the past three seasons. The only reason they've had any success is because they've accidentally accumulated a few top-ten draft picks (two of which they arguably messed up).
Botch is correct. The plan has remained constant all along. Make the playoffs every year. This franchise has the same outlook as the New York Yankees ie never plan beyond next year. Minus the on field success of course. I guess Linden couldn't take the hit to his image any longer and walked away.

I am not so appalled by Simmons not naming sources, but rather how Pratt tries to take this story and present it as gospel without and research or evidence. So, yes crap journalism.
Pratt comes off poorly. He can not look at Benning the same way knowing he accepted a clause where he talks directly to ownership. Question would anyone reject this clause from the owner of their business? If the owner asks you to report to them you report to them because they have that right. To say no is to say you do not want to work for them. I would not give up my job to try and help someone else above me. Would anyone?I am not so appalled by Simmons not naming sources, but rather how Pratt tries to take this story and present it as gospel without and research or evidence. So, yes crap journalism.

Oh boy
EDIT: Basically, theres no chance anyone with any competence comes to this organization, till Benning & Weisbrod are gone. I didnt say Aquilini, cause he's not selling the team.
It’s incredible how fast Linden managed to restore his reputation in a week with all these leaks to his media buddies. There’s still a large portion of fans who are willing to believe anything that paints him in a positive way.
lol @ the #Canucks mutiny being powered by Ram Trucks.
However this shakes out, whatever the "plan" was or is, Linden clearly lost an internal power struggle with Benning and/or Weisbrod. We may never know what really happened.
Hopefully it's one step closer to the Aquamen getting rid of Benning, Weisbrod and all their buddies and family members so that actual professionals can be hired to run the team again.
