I petition for a GM who’s move I can understand, wether I agree with them or not. Not someone who is an idiot(like myself) and still knows the trade/free agent signing is gonna bomb.

You guys don’t like my take on management or the rebuild or non rebuild. Whatever, but the 7-9 year thing gets brought up unsolicited, all the time. Really struck a chord.

really struck a chord because it’s so genuinely stupid it’s basically a meme
Hi everyone,
I pray that our beloved Sedins do not suffer the same fate that Trevor did. Much like most of you, I was so disappointed that there was not a house cleaning this off season.
But damn it if I don’t have faith in my fellow Gingers to find a way to navigate through this and find a way to help our Canucks. It looks like a PR move on the surface, but I just cannot believe these guys will be figureheads. They will want to be involved and are too smart to be used.
I only hope they will be taken seriously and have the ability to make the tough decisions when needed. That’s my only concern. They have a reputation for being such nice human beings.
As most of us know, sometimes in Management, being nice doesn’t lead to being successful. You can be respectful and successful, but nice just isn’t always possible in my experience.
These men stand for so much that is good about the Organization. I agree that this is not the ideal situation for them to be mentored in. However, they are both worldly men and I trust they will reach out to those they respect to learn from as well.
My apologies if I’ve covered points that were exhausted in the previous Management Thread and the Sedin Announcement Thread.
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying your summer (winter below the equator)
Some memes for you,

I can't think of a single NHL market where the owner would have 'turned the other cheek' after a season like the one the Canucks just went through. They'd have lowered the boom, if only to keep faith with the fan-base and the market.
But the 'solution' in VanCity was to bring the Sedins in from the cold, and keep the same guys in place. In fact the Sedins were a crutch so ownership wouldn't have to do anything.
IMO the Aquilini's are the worst NHL owners in Canada....and that's saying something since the primary 'competition' is the erratic Eugene Melnyk in Ottawa and Daryl Katz in Edmonton.

It felt so close even if it was for a brief window of time too.
The joy I personally felt, not to mention s good portion of the fans, when there were whispers of changes coming.
Benning out. Francesco pivoted to a different portfolio while Paolo would take over. Cliff Ronning involved (remember that?)
Then something changed and we're back to the status quo. Same coach, same gm, same bullshit over again at least for another season.

I think the Sedins will do better with the fanbase than Trevor. It seems so long ago but at one time the team does these "townhall" where STH gets to go and ask questions. I went to one and maybe Trevor just wasn't used to, or expecting, the pointed questions, he became pretty condescending with his answers. I know that turned some people off and it definitely did for me. I can't see the Sedins losing it like that on the fans.
I also think now is a good time for the twins to get involved. There is absolutely zero expectations in this market. The casuals had long forgotten about the team. The die-hards will always here and, despite the recent banner flying over town, is generally pretty muted. There is still a legend of pro-management fans that are perfectly satisfy with a now 9 years rebuild, and in 2 years they will just as happily watch an 11 years rebuild, etc etc. And when the day comes that somebody gets the axe, its going to be Benning taking all the blame (rightfully). I think the Sedins legacy will be just fine.

Confirmed Signing with Link: - [MIN] Nick Bjugstad signs extension with the Wild (1 year, $900K)
900k.
Like we know if Bjugstad was resigning here Jim would give 1.5-1.8 on a 1 year
900k.

Wait, I am confused, why didnt his agent tell Guerin that he would easily get $3m on the open market?
So what will be the first off season moves for benning? Signing Petey or Hughes? Trading Schmidt? Over paying hamonic?

Does it?
Just par for the course when yer bloating out your salary cap with age gappers.
When it comes down to being competitive in this league, you HAVE to play the salary cap game and the Canucks haven’t played it since Gilly left.
The #s have told the real story every single time.

Essentially if this were true, Benning and Weisbrod would have stepped down before re-upping Pearson and the Aquilini's would have already sold the franchise.
