@BuresFlow @WilbertArenas88 I also feel like his son doesn't want to be coached by his dad.

This isn't youth hockey where parents are asked to volunteer coach.

@thegoldenmuzzy If his last name was Naslund and Caleb's last name was Smith, Ivar would be the talk of the town in Vancouver.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@Banx_Leaf Is he a 1, 2 or 3C on a Stanley Cup contender? That's the question they should be asking.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@lamapass25 This would be ideal

I'd be happy with Verhoeff or Reid if the two forwards are gone.

Reid may have the higher upside, but finding a top pairing defensive defenceman to play on the right side with Buium is paramount.

In almost any other market, Manny coaching Caleb in the NHL wouldn't be a big deal.

The media circus it's going to cause here is a recipe for disaster.

@seyerpa Lol, the media gave him a platform, and then he grifted his followers into thousands only to spend a small portion of it on the banner.

Every media scrum is going to start with, what did your dad tell you coming into this game or did you and your dad talk about your deployment.

Rookie NHL President(s)
Rookie NHL GM
Rookie NHL Coach

When's the last time, if ever, an NHL team rolled out a management team like this?

@RonaldNHughes @CanucksArmy Canucks Army is trash writing.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@seyerpa @RonaldNHughes @CanucksArmy Sharks not so much, but the Leafs have been missing a 1D since forever ago.

It's always the same thing year after year with them, their defence costs them playoff success. Here's their chance to fix it, but they'll go the offence route again.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@RonaldNHughes @CanucksArmy Vancouver got a first plus 3 former first round picks for Hughes.

Don't see how one first round pick is the same.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@RobTheHockeyGuy #Canucks should add more bad contracts so media and fans can talk about them and how they are holding the team back next season

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@LAKings874 We all know if/when Matthews and McDavid become available, Vegas will be in on both.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@seyerpa @CTVVancouver @DonTaylor5 Giving them support is better than losing them and all the economic benefits they provide to the city and province.

In payroll alone (players and staff), Province of BC makes close to $4M a year in income tax from the team.

@Shill_chain @Simon_Ingari You'd move to a new job for 50K more even if your happy with your current employer?

I've taken pay cuts to get out of jobs I wasn't enjoying. I also turned down opportunities for more money because I was happy where I was.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

If Caleb's last name was Smith and Ivar's last name was Naslund, who would the fans and media in this market want to draft?

#Canucks

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@FDaniels86 Be in on every single star player who is available and don't be afraid to give up good assets to get them. Don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way.

Fire your coach with one week left in the regular season for that coach bump.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@Simon_Ingari Only thing is your example shows an employee leaving because of money.

The employee's immediate reason for leaving was a 65% raise.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@Nuckology @seyerpa Caleb is great and will probably be a great player, but if Manny never played or coached in Vancouver, it would not be as big of a debate as it is.

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@kaitalkscanucks You are 100% correct

[Vic ➡️ bluesky @vicvirk]

@seyerpa @Boddy604 It'll be the media, they'll look for every single chance to create storylines where there are none.
