Henrik Sedin on joining the Canucks' front office and why the core group needs 'to take charge and lead the way'

What is his take on OEL? Can you summarize for those who don't have a subscription please?

Wasn't that his opinion on Loui Eriksson?

 

[RobertKron]

Was that the entire summary of OEL's game? He didn't say anything about his game. He just said how old he is. How can that be "spot on?"

I mean he is 30 years old, that aspect of it was spot on

The core group has been the only thing worth watching for years. Not sure what else they're expected to do.

Aside from that, his "take" on OEL is that he's only 30, therefore he should bounce back from years of declining play? Yeah. Okay. Sure.

There have been times I've been tempted to pony up for a subscription. This is not one of those times.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Well of course getting out of Phoenix is gonna help Ekman-Larsson. He’s got a new lease on life. He’s been identified and acquired by *checks notes* the Jim Benning pro defender scouting team. What could go wrong?

 

[F A N]

One thing the Sedins have made clear is that one aspect that they are learning to do is how to evaluate players. That wasn’t something they had to do as players.

"His game has gone a little bit down" for "reasons."
Wow.
Wow.
He sure nailed it.
"Reasons."

Those reasons. They'll get you every time.

Yes reasons. You know Henrik isn't the type of person to throw anyone under the bus. He is too classy for that. But he has his thoughts and reasoning. Disagree with the outcome if you like of course.

Well you can say the same about Linden & looked what ended up happening. Neither person has the same "ability" or "skill" as Wormtongue in office politics.

So we're just guessing that his assessment was "spot on?" Is that the deal?

I did say go ahead and disagree with his assessment if you want. I was talking about his wording, which is in line with his character

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

I was expecting something a little more substantive than Henrik offering up generalities if he's 'right on the money.'

Also, I don't understand why Weisbrod is frequently referred to as 'Wormtongue.' That implies he's corrupting/confusing someone who is generally good.

I've always viewed him as Tweedle Dum to Benning's Tweedle Dee.

John got to you as well.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

He didn’t want to burn a bridge and say Phoenix is a tire fire. Just staying classy.

There's no assessment with which to disagree.

 

[Grub]

At least we can all agree that he nailed it on the 30 year old comment.

 

[lousy]

There's no assessment with which to disagree.

Come on. You can't see what he is hinting at? And not calling anyone out. We all know the situation OEL has been in. Make your own conclusions on what will happen going forward I guess.
