Of course it’s going to be a former Canuck. God forbid they expand their horizons a bit when looking for the person to run their multi-million dollar franchise.
Lots of respect for Larionov. For sure would be happy to see him as team President. Total classI see Larionov's name bandied about either as coach or GM/Prez and am wondering what people here would think of it?
Hughes is literally a pylon on half the ice and his net impact is overall negative and undeserving of a huge commitment.Haha I can just imagine Frank the filthy caj begging for Jim’s professional life “but he got us Pettersson and Hughes!”

The defense is absolute shambles.
I’m willing to eat crow on it.I mean in his rookie season he was a legit top pairing Dmen. I think these Hughes takes are gonna age like some Boeser takes last season.
Yeah, I’d like to see Hughes under a different coaching staff and with a partner that complements his play style, he’s better than what he’s shown this yearI mean in his rookie season he was a legit top pairing Dmen. I think these Hughes takes are gonna age like some Boeser takes last season.
Very interesting point by Sekeres just now that it's not just Linden that hasn't been replaced; Jeff Stipec hasn't either. The latter is definitely the bigger loss for the organization..
I this this thread will reach 1000 posts in two daysDammit. Missed out on naming the thread. I was going to go with Management Thread: The Purge Edition. Maybe next time.
Didn't Trent Carroll replace him?
My fandom has been beaten down so much the past few years that I'm almost at the point that I don't care who replaces Jim, just that change might be coming.
Also when I hear Courtnall's name brought up and his connection to Mike Gillis it makes me wonder if there is an avenue for Mike to return in some form.
When a guy like Schmidt looks worse playing in this “system” than he has in any recent season and a guy like Tanev has a great year after just an alright season in this “system” last year then I think we should be open to get real possibility that this coaching staff and their “system” is very flawed.I’m willing to eat crow on it.
If he turns into a Krug type guy, give me shit.
If he remains a Barrie/Yandle, I’m going to be sad about it.
HE GONE
Dammit. Missed out on naming the thread. I was going to go with Management Thread: The Purge Edition. Maybe next time.

Not surprising. That was their main motivation for firing Gillis as well, the casuals were convinced that Gillis was the anti-Christ by his last few months here and now even they’re done buying the “hockey guy” Benning sales pitch.Not because he’s one of the worst GMs in NHL history but because the fans have finally turned. Jesus.
Whatver, I’ll take it.
I called it! Not that it's good news.
