Paul Fenton

Nicholson, Feaster, Linden.

 

[CCF23]

It'll be Feaster.

*sigh*

 

[petrishriekandgo]

I'm thinking Gilman takes over as GM and Linden comes in as President.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Hoping for McNab. Hextall, Brisebois, Timmins, Dorion, Gillman and Botterill are all solid candidates IMO though.

 

[arsmaster*]

A couple candidates I would like, but don't expect would work for meddling owners:

Julian Brisebois, Assistant GM, Tampa Bay (read link for accomplishments and work history) http://lightning.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=50495

Pierre Dorion, Assistant GM and Dir. of Player Personnel, Ottawa Senators - not sure they let him go having already lost Tim Murray

 

[canuck4life16]

a good GM who can draft and make trade if needed and a fan of Sedins!

Gillis still here!

 

[ZKass The Bass]

I want Gilman or Nicholson.

Wildcard: Bure?

 

[Nucker101]

I'd like to see McNab, Hextall, Will, Fenton and Briebois all get interviews and consideration.

From what I understand while GMs announce the draft picks, most of the time the scouts are the ones to actually pick the players

 

[Inside McKenzie]

Most likely to be new GM:

 

[Bad News Benning]

If we go the inexperienced route...Scotty Niedermayer please. hire his brother as a scout if need be to entice him.

Not sure about experienced gms...not much to get excited about from the names that have been mentioned. An assistant with one of the better run organizations probably makes the most sense.

 

[Patchey*]

Most likely to be new GM:

Jim Carrey as our new GM?
But seriously I'm hoping for Gilman or Mcnab

 

[Burr08]

Someone brought up Brad Treliving from pheonix; thought he would be a decent candidate as pheonix has done a good job to ice a semi competitive team in the midst of that ownership situation + hes a local guy too

 

[Kmode]

Jason Botterill - Asst. GM in Pittsburgh.

Seems to be the next wave of young GMs. Understands the cap, learned from one of the best in Shero over the last couple years. I've heard Pittsburgh relies heavily on him for many decisions, including some tough draft decisions.

Sounds like the right kind of guy to take over a rebuild (ish) kind of situation.

Hahaha!

...Freakin owners

no...an Aquaman YES Man

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

Whoever it is, they have to personally utilize whatever they bring in.
Gillis had sleep doctors and nutritionists, and yet looked like a guy who's stayed awake for three days eating Cheetos and chugging Red Bull.

Shero is one of the best?

Guy is a genius! Drafted Staal who made Malkin and Crosby into stars!

Maybe Francesco will surprise all of us and announce himself as the Canucks' new GM.
