Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

That doesn't mean you'd let anybody coach.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

And I think that if you have a good coach, you should certainly try to get that.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

But I'm not saying no to who I think the best player available at the draft is because of who I have in mind for my head coaching position.

And...

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

I don't think in any situation, unless you're a team that's on the verge of winning a cup and you have one of the best coaches, we should be choosing the coach over a foundational young piece that's going to be a top pick in the draft.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

But I think it depends on the situation.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

I think when you're picking high in the draft, like to me, there's no coach who's worth you bypassing the best talent in the top 10 of a draft.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

But that's also relative.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

I'm like the player, like the draft class.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

Well, yeah, but I'm saying top 10 pick.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

Generally speaking, if you have a top 10 pick, like how many coaches are worth a top 10 pick?

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

But again, are you saying that you'd rather go with the good coach instead of rolling the dice with the top 10 picks?

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

Okay, John Cooper, perhaps.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

You can try to make that argument.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

No, you said the best coach.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

Yeah, the best coach.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

I wouldn't.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

I think the best argument you can make is for a John Cooper type, but I'm not giving up in a rebuild, especially.

Canucks Central
Mailbag Friday: Longest Walk, Wasting Top Tier Talent and Hot Playoff Takes

Again, let's say you're Florida.

Let's say you're Florida, right?
