OT: Via Twitter poll, Franco Aquilini wants to know if Bo Horvat should get the captaincy

[GreatSaveLuongo]

Can we do this for who we sign and trade for instead?

Can you imagine if the fans build a legit contender??!?!

This is stunningly bush league.

What a mickey mouse organization

 

[RebuildinVan]

If this is the new way the Canucks make decisions, I'm all for it!

We need to move it to a fan vote on July 1st in a different category

 

[Phenomenon13]

Zero class move

 

[I am toxic]

I agree. I think the order goes: Potato > Twitter Poll > Benning

Potato > Mittens > Twitter Poll > Benning

 

[hellstick]

Our owner embarrasses me. Times are tough to be a Canucks fan.

 

[Boose Brudreau]

This is stunningly bush league.

What part of this is stunning? This moron hired, extended and continues to employ Jim Benning..... he's about as sharp as a raindrop.

What a mickey mouse organization

Seeing how Disney is destroying various movie franchises, I think you made an brilliant observation.

 

[Pavel96]

Just another joke from this absolute joke of a franchise.

 

[Teflon Jim]

The tweet doesnt name Horvat as the choice it just asks if we should name a captain for this season

Putting Bo thru what?

Would you not think any owner would have input on who captains his team?
But having said that... where does it suggest it's Aqualini's call to decide who the captain is?
..unless you meant to inquire as to Why is it Aqualini's call on WHEN they name a captain...

Just seems like basic fan interaction by the owner... why get your knickers in a knot?

This has to be a joke/fake post right??? Otherwise this is an A-grade a batshit crazy move. This is just some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen from a supposedly professional organisation. This is a fan chat forum, these kind of polls are what fans do for fun, you don't run a professional organisation this way.

How do you we, from the outside, know who is a good captain? Really know? We are not on the bench during games,n at training, not in the rooms, we just go on random snippets and press clippings.

What next.... I want a poll on Tyler Myers. We should get a right to get a right to veto Benning's moves via twitter polls.

Captaincy is of little importance.

What's critical, however, is for the team to be managed by someone who's not a gibbering drooling lunatic.

 

[me2]

Either management think someone’s ready or they don’t. Why let the fans decide the timing?

Besides, given the nature of social media these days, this is just not a good idea.

It wasn't a good idea even before social media. Vote for the club mascot or new hotdog sauce flavour, sure, but running of the club noooo.

Wow... you just went off on a whole rant for something Aqualini didn’t even say or tweet.

Congrats on your reading comprehension and wasted rant energy.

And which bit?

 

[Luongos Knob]

Is this real life? I have never seen anything like this before.

 

[nuck]

Bring me Horvat!

 

[xtra]

This has to be some PR companies idea right. He couldn’t think this was a good idea

 

[EpochLink]

You should reply to Aquaman on his tweet

 

[DL44]

And which bit?

You read it back and still dont know?
He asked when.. not who.

This is unprofessional in my opinion and highly unorthodox.

This decision should be made internally and privately.

And yes - BoHo should be made captain. It’s a no brainer in my opinion.

Fair enough and I admit that I rushed to judgement (I can’t see twitter over here in China and I had assumed that the posters in this thread were being accurate with their details).

In that case, I don’t think Aqua’s actions were unprofessional at all.
