Interesting enough, the Canucks have had only two periods where they’ve missed the playoffs for four seasons (NEVER five seasons). First time it happened was their first four seasons in the NHL. They went thru two GMs before #3 managed them to not only their first .500 season (back when it meant something) but the playoffs. The second time was for the 96/97, 97/98, 98/99, and 99/00 seasons. Two GMs during this period (Quinn and Burke).
I’d venture to guess if the team misses the postseason next season, he’s gone (if we don’t make it this year)
