Speculation: Canucks next GM: The Hunt is on

[Nucker101]

Lol had a look in the replies and the irony of people saying MG inherited a good team and JR built the pens is killing me. Almost as much as the fact that were going to hire this dinosaur.

The media is dumb and the casual fans eat it up

Already seeing the posts on Twitter from idiots that are lamenting this a successful hire because the guy won multiple cups as GM. Do people not f***ing learn?

One step forward, two steps back.

I literally came in here to post this - you beat me to the punch

We can literally say good bye to our 1st round pick this year. f***.

They said they are going to take their time finding the right guy(s). So really hoping this is only part 1… JR as POHO and then search is still ongoing for the right GM. Hoping!!!!

This organization needs 2 clearly defined positions. A mis-Match of both feels desperate and forced.

What other teams have someone filling both rolls?

The majority, honestly. Gillis held both roles.

The 2 person model is newer and only recently have some teams moved in that direction.

Shoot me now

They are actually reporting Rutherford came in cheaper then other options so he was preferred.

this owner absolutely grinds my gears.

JR is an old school fossil(Reaves, Gudbranson, Jack Johnson moves).

Good chance he brings in another guy who hates numbers as the next GM if he’s the POHO

Imagine hiring a guy who traded a 1st round pick for Ryan Reeves


that should disqualify you everything EVER

This is bullshit. You're spreading misinformation.

The trade was:
Reaves and a 2nd (51st overall)
for
Sundqvist and a 1st (31st overall)

So, the penguins dropped 20 spots in the draft in order to swap Sundqvist for Reaves. I'm not necessarily saying it was a good trade. But to say "they traded a 1st for Reaves" is completely missing the point. Similar to the Barclay Goodrow trade to Tampa.

This idea that a first round pick has some sort of special magical power is strange. As if the 32nd pick is disproportionately more valuable than the 33rd.

Closing temporarily while the Rutherford thread is open.
