So there are positives in terms of the team is finally moving in the direction a lot of fans want.

And the question just is, can you hire the right people?

And that's what it comes down to.

And that leads us to the open, brought to you by FiberTech, your exclusive dealer of house of roll luxury plumbing fixtures.

And ultimately, the start here is going to be how the Canucks build out their front office.

And, you know, we talked about this a little bit on Friday.

I got into it a bit today with Halford and Brough as well when I joined them this morning.

And we kind of touched on it briefly with Frank Cervalli.

The Canucks want to be adding, I think, obviously, they feel like they need a GM as soon as possible because they don't have a GM.

And they obviously are going to need to have an executive that does the president of hockey operations duties to some extent once Rutherford leaves.

The question is, as we discussed on Friday, how do you sequence that?

But one thing I do wonder about here is, and when we talk about GM with little GM experience, RJ fits that role.

Ryan Johnson fits that role.

He's been an AGM.

He's been a GM of the Abbotsford team.

But he is an inexperienced GM.

But he's somebody that the organization has familiarity with.

So if they go and hire someone like RJ, I think they feel like they have to bring in another experienced executive above that person at some point.

And I think what's going to happen is initially, if they bring that person in before Rutherford leaves and Rutherford stays on for a while, that person will come in as a VP initially.
