Daren is one of the smartest people I know in hockey and this is a smart, smart hire by the Canucks.
One unique role I’d expect he plays in this position: Helping kids navigate the decisions they have to make. Teams should have a dedicated person who helps players make tailored choices on next steps factoring in level, role, coach, opportunity, etc. A liaison with the team for agents, families and players with a feel for lower levels and what’s out there.
