IMac sounds so salty. Great to see different guys breaking canucks stories.
hit the bricks, pal.
In my opinion One of Gillis’ big mistakes was not dropping a nuke in the front office week 1 of his tenure.Difference is that Benning cleared out the staff that got them 2 presidents trophies and a Stanley cup final. Right now, they are clearing out 7 years of garbage.
Brian Burke still helping the Canucks, even after he left back in 2004.
i love your posts man always make me laughI'd love for the organization to have a Science & Technology Dept... But I'd settle for a laptop with Excel over a white board with marker any day.
I'm all for front office cost cuttings too. Imagine how much time and money they can save using Zoom compared to having to fly to Toronto whenever they want to talk to Bettman et al. True that flying is more efficient and effective than walking, but still.

Often times when a new President comes in he’ll want to bring in his own team- and some guys might be let go even if they have been fine in their roles. I see nothing wrong with this, nothing sneaky here- it’s not personal- just business and I wish them well in their future endeavors .Price is just about as bad of a source as Sekeres.
Also personally i think the firings where a knee jerk reaction that wasnt done with due diligence. Which says a lot about how Rutherford is going to run the team and personally i dont like it at all.
Changed pretty quickly from Smyl and Co, to this.
Sooooo...it's looking more and more like Gear and Wall were axed at the direction of the Aquilini's and not necessarily by Jim Rutherford.
Is it possible that the Aqua family decided those two were part of why the family is seen as meddling in team affairs? Leaking some info about Franco's perceived influence on Benning, perhaps?
One thing is for certain after that Smyl / FrAq interview: the Aquilini's are damn sensitive around the notion that they've been meddling. It seems they want to squash that idea ASAP.
Of course, this approach isn't helping that idea. Exactly the opposite.
this is all I need to support the firings
f*** Imac
I think these clearly came from Stan Smyl. Nothing else really makes sense to me.
remember when someone said it was like “game of thrones” in the Canucks front office 2 weeks ago? Smyl won.
Don't really understand getting rid of Chris Gear. Perhaps a personal feud that Frank had with him?
The world will explode.What if Gilman as GM hires Gillis as Associate GM?
Is that it?Its fine if he is going to replace them with equally or more competent people.
i think it just comes down to JRs call at the end even if it seems drastic, it looks like this might be what "full autonomy" is under aqua now which is either a good or bad thing going forward
think all we can do is hope that JRs shotcalling can be trusted for the long term health of the org
Show me anyone who says they predicted the season Pettersson is having and I'll show you a liar.
I actually have no idea how good Gear and Wall is so that’s why I say equal or better. I mean I am not going to freak out until all the changes are done. It’s not like things were working well before this so I am being open minded about it.Is that it?
Pretty low bar.
