the next coach will also be a scapegoat, likely Green.

Hiring coach Q would further expose the horrible state that this franchise is in ("if they can't win with him, they can't win with anyone").
The family needs another scapegoat. They'll hire Green and fire him in two years.
3 cups in 6 years...no way he gets fired
Q would go to the very top of my list. I hope Chicago is that stupid.
Why would he come cheap? He can ask a lot and get it.
I said relatively cheap. Like I said, he has 3 years left on his contract with Chicago for reportedly $6M a season. My understanding is that he's being paid that amount no matter what. He's not going to be paid more and he's not going to be paid less. If he's fired and the Canucks hire him (which likely won't happen) the Canucks can negotiate with the Blackhawks so that the Blackhawks pay part of the salary much like the Canucks are paying part of Torts' salary.
Regardless, if Quenneville is willing to come to the Canucks, the Canucks should have no problems paying Quenneville the 2nd highest coaching salary in the league and I don't think the Aquilinis' would balk.
Compensation for coaches is gone, which is why we got paid for torts.
