Speculation: Coach Green’s next contract
- Thread starter Fatass
- Start date
I think he’ll get a 3 year extension. He should push for it but then again management with no revenue coming in and knowing that revenues will take a hit probably not interested in being on the hook for a terminated coach like they were with Torts and Gillis as GM. Green has a year left so I would think the Canucks would ideally like 2 year extension but time will tell.
there is a better then 50% chance he ends up leaving. I can easily see behind the bench of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2021 /2022 season - not sure what type of money he is after . But the Canucks have never paid more the $2 million for a coach ( Torts) and he won a Stanley Cup. Trent Cull could easily be your Vancouver Canucks head coach soon

If we lose Green because his contract demands are unreasonable then I'm fine with that. I think it would be bad optics if we're haggling over a 3 year term vs 2 year term or $1M.

I doubt Canucks re-sign him before the end of next season. With using Covid as an excuse I believe Canucks will see how the team plays under him next year and see if he's even the guy moving forward. Until fans are allowed back I don't think too many owners are ready to spend too much money.
They got burned by the Torts and Gillis contracts for over $12 million. Got a bit of a reprieve when Torts signed with CBJ but had to pay the entirety of Gillis contract.
If nothing happens with Green's contract before the start of the season...and the Canucks were to stumble out of the gate and fall behind the rest of the teams in the COVID Canadian division, look out. I could easily see the hammer coming down at the 15-game mark in a shortened season.

I’m not overly worried about green. The Canucks’ window isn’t even open so it’s not like it matters what happens the next couple of years, and I hardly consider green some kinda generational coach we absolutely must hang on to.

Bundy never did say whether his team won the game when he scored 4 touchdowns in one game for Polk High...
Trivia: Ed O’Neill (Bundy) actually tried out for the Pittsburgh Steelers! Rookie season for Chuck Noll as head coach:

He also hated Marcy Darcy in real life and that ultimately led to the end of married with children.
Possible. Just a complete 180 turn given how ownership signed off on those terrible front loaded contracts for their veteran free agent signings. And would be seen penny pinching now. Get Covid, but that's also why you don't spend like a drunken sailor.
When Loui is setup to get paid $31 million for 4 years of play only to try to move him after his SB, seems like such a cheap move to not extend the coach in comparison.

No to Loui but we're contractually obligated to say yes for two more seasons.

If they don't re-sign him prior to the season starting or even pre season, hello to the talking point of every media outlet in the market.
Green and Benning better start preparing their answers now because they're going to be asked about it at every opportunity.

And any GM that cares about their job isn’t going to throw the owner under the bus even if it is an ownership decision not to extend him now.

Loui Erickson will become the next coach of the Vancouver Canucks. 10 years , 8M per year.
Green is not signed to an extension because ownership has told Benning not to. They wish to see how this shortened season turns out as a result of the lack of the possibility of quality signings due to the cap hell Benning has put the club in. If they do not perform well, Benning will be gone at the end of the season and a new GM oftentimes likes to bring in their own coach, or, at the very least, be happy with the coach in place at that time. Saddling a new GM with a coach on a 3 year contract is certainly not a desirable use of funds and since the team is not making anywhere near the amount of $ Aquilini would like, it is likely he is implementing measures such as this.

What are you expecting Exactly?
Travis Green has improved with every season he has coaches, and Out-coaches the Blues in the playoffs.
He absolutely deserves a few more years, Canucks are coming off a massively successful Season.
Not to mention, the Players seem to respect him from reports, and around the league people like him.
He makes mistakes, as do all Coaches, but the guy lets our star players be creative, unlike people like Hitchcock or Tippett who kill creativity.
We should be thankful
