The next GM of the Vancouver Canucks

[LeftCoast]

mcphee and feaster lol.

this could be the worst possible combination ever. i'd like to think trevor has more sense than this.

I think there are some broadcasters (whose last names all start with M) that could give McFeaster a run for their money in terms of futility.

Millbury, Maclean, Maguire - with Melrose as coach.

 

[Sleeper]

Linden is gonna be on Tim & Sid in like an hour.

 

[bo2shink*]

Please don't let it be mcphee! May the gods save us all if linden goes the direction sportsnet is suggesting.

Mcphee gm and feaster assistant.
Let the Mcpheaster era begin, bad trades and mismanagement for all!

I am a supporter of the idea that 2 wrongs makes a right.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Lots of possibilities:

Teuvo Teravainen
Nail Yakupov, as mentioned before
Derrick Pouliot
Ryan Strome, maybe.

Think TT and Poo are the only ones on teams Kesler is willing to waive for, though...

Neither TT or Pouliot are the right calibre right now to trade Kesler. TT has done little and has gone back to Europe until next training camp or longer. Pouliot is a better fit, but we need forwards at this point.

TT may still be a little raw, but he's a piece good enough to be the centerpiece in a Kesler trade (particularly if it includes a very useful secondary piece like Leddy).

Trev was just on the local QMFM or whatever it is now. They started by asking if he could sign someone's chest, but otherwise pretty good interview. Basically his #1 job is to please the fans. The skate jersey might be coming back.

Love it.

 

[Samzilla]

omg, please bring back the flying skate

With Mike Keenan as coach.

Sounds good.

Keenan was the set the task of breaking down the Club Med atmosphere that had overtaken the Quinn era Canucks who had one of the top payrolls in the NHL but declining results. His trade of Linden laid the foundation for the Westcoast Express years and the drafting of the Sedins.

Keenan has a Stanley Cup on his resume and just won the Gagarin Cup - emblematic of KHL hockey supremacy.

Mike Keenan now has a KHL championship to go with his Stanley Cup title.

Keenan’s Metallurg Magnitogorsk team in Russia outscored Lev Prague 7-4 on Wednesday to capture the Kontinental Hockey League’s Gagarin Cup.

Keenan has become the first coach to win championships in the NHL and the KHL, while Lev was trying to become the first non-Russian team to capture the KHL crown.

The last foreign-born coach to reach the KHL final was Finland’s Kari Heikkila with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl during the league’s inaugural 2008-09 season.

Metallurg, which had two of the KHL’s top five scorers in forwards Sergei Mozyakin and Danis Zaripov, rolled to a franchise-best 35-19 record, tops in the 14-team East.​

This concerns me.

I really hope he doesn't do things just to appease the mob.

Quite often fans are too emotional and knee-jerk in their reactions/thoughts. I hope he has a good balance between what the fans want and what is best for everyone overall.

I still think there are some strings attached to Trev as much as him he may think otherwise.

Just like the current Canucks fan boy ownership.

omg, please bring back the flying skate

The downhill skate on a plate of spaghetti - seems to fit.

Canucks want GM in place by late May, early June. Interviews to begin, probably, next week, says Trevor Linden on Fan 590.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

For the odd special game I'd love to see the noodle skate come back

 

[ArtG]

Wow. Ferraro on 1040 speculating that maybe Trev was after Neely rather than Benning.

Not sure how I feel about that.

 

[The Horvatian One]

What would be wrong with Neely? He has won a cup in Boston and understands the game.

 

[Wisp]

That would be hilarious.

Ferrero was answering a question from BMac who was speculating.
Ferrero almost flat out said he was going to be careful with his words so people wouldn't run with it like you just posted.

Ferrero's ACTUALLY said it was highly unlikely because his family is rooted in Boston and IS Bruins hockey.
The only speculation out of his mouth was that if Neely really wanted to be a GM he would likely have to do it elsewhere other than Boston since their GM isn't going anywhere anytime soon..

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

It'd be about damn time they bring back the Skate in some capacity. Not sure what the organization's whole aversion to it has been about.

Sounds like next week is when the interview process properly begins; will be interesting to see what names come up.

Close enough

 

[The Horvatian One]

Hextall is now available for Linden to interview. Flyers (my second team) are officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Probably colour scheme.

 

[stuffradio]

Probably colour scheme.

Colour sheam?

Guess what everyone, Ron Hextall is available to be talked to now!

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I swear we better get Benning.

 

[TruGr1t]

I'm fine with Benning or Hextall. Just get one of them.

 

[Jinsell]

I'm fine with Benning or Hextall. Just get one of them.

Ditto. I'm leaning towards Hextall for some reason, but either should be sufficient.

Yeah the current colour scheme looks disgusting on the Skate.
