Rumor: Peter Chiarelli to the Canucks (now corroborated by Pierre LeBrun)

[brokenhole]

Chia comes in a week later Boeser 2020- 1st abd 2nd for Zedano Chara.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Well there it is..the first but Gillis.

I am of the opinion that the Canucks struggles from 2013 onwards are a combination of....

1) Gillis’ Drafting failures
2) Benning’s Pro Scouting failures

In both instances, I was supportive during those present time moments, because...

A) I wanted to be positive
B) I want to give ample time to both men before passing judgement of any kind (and yes, I was biased here because in both instances, I was very quick to praise both GM’s for any kind of immediate success).

But again - this is all 2017 talk. I’ve said my piece and will try and focus on speaking aboutnither topics.

It cannot be understated how terrible a move this would be.

It’s probably a part time consulting gig or something. Not a big deal. More likely he will be hired out east. Aquilini would never do something this unpopular. It’s sad how much he caters to fans

It is a big deal when your ownership and management group are targeting an obviously incompetent person that is coming off of a train wreck of the last three years. The process is more important than the result, so I don’t think you can just point to the fact that it is “not a big deal” because it is a part time gig.

We don’t know if they are targeting Chiarelli. They have spoken to him. Maybe chia is desperate for a job and he has called everyone in the old boys club. I’d rank this Rumor lower in probability than the gem that we were trading the 10th for Zaitsev. Clearly Chia is a terrible idea but I just don’t see it. Aquilini is desperate for fans to like him and he reads Twitter

it's kind of scary that he's building an echo chamber for his terrible ideas.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

And to think, I just finished laughing at the Ducks hiring Eakins.

I'm hoping that this is just a case of Chia calling up all his old buddies and begging for a job.

What, if any, discernible skills does he have? Seriously.

I guess it's like vomiting on a pile of steaming turd. Won't make things much worse, but it's just harder for the next leadership team to scrub out.

That's not fair . . .






. . . to vomit and piles of steaming turds.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

I can see it now,,Benning,Weisbroad,Chirelli

 

[PG Canuck]

So if Chiapet is hired, we can basically expect any player that has "off-ice issues" to be traded.

 

[canuckfan75]

do not even know what to say about this. it would be a very bad poor choice

 

[krutovsdonut]

i'd like to suggest we lock and delete this thread for 24 hours and simply pretend this didn't happen so we can enjoy the draft without seeing this thread title.

I'd f***ing love this move because Chiarelli actually has a shitty reputation which would be anchored to Benning, who has been untouchable thus far.

I also fully believe that he's a smarter manager and person than Jim Benning who (somewhat fairly) became the scapegoat in Edmonton, but wasn't the sole reason they're so f***ing horrendous.

It's also entertaining as hell. Bring it on.

somewhat fairly?

 

[vancityluongo]

somewhat fairly?

At the end of the day the GM has to be held accountable... but they had a half dozen idiots in the room with him at all times.

Not that it's all that different here lol

as hard as it is sometimes to sort out the accountability of gms, sheer weight of numbers of nightmare transactions tells the tale for chiarelli. a guy who moved seiguin and hall, traded for reinhart, turned eberle into spooner, drafted poolparty, signed lucic, and made those final deals has a fatal flaw in his ability to evaluate talent.

I have always maintained he (Benning) was the smart guy of that duo. He seems to be Weisbrod’s twin. Two guys that don’t do anything well except get promoted because they have the ability to schmooze with their boss.

At least (my opinion) Benning can be a good assistant GM ( ala Dave Nonis). But these two? I wouldn’t want either employed in any capacity other than selling 50/50 tickets.

Only Canucks Luck.....

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Maybe hiring Chiarelli is the big splash at the draft that the organization has been hinting at.

The more I think about this, it's not so bad. You know what else isn't so bad? Pistol appreciation night combined with free beer night. Every fan gets a complimentary hand gun and free beer. What could go wrong? While we're at it, was Mike Milbury really 'that' bad? So much experience that could be brought to this management team. Purple koolaid, that's another good idea...

 

[Jay Cee]

I spit my drink out when I read Benning was part of the Crimson Mafia!
