Elliot Freeman on the latest with the Vancouver Canucks GM search from the most recent 32 Thoughts podcast.

Okay, so lots to unpack there.

We may as well go chronologically from the start to the end of the clip.

So mimicking what the Nashville search has looked like, and I'm assuming he means the duration of the search.

If you're going to accuse Nashville of anything in their GM search,

They're certainly not rushing it because it was announced in February that Barry Trotz was going to step down as general manager and the search for his successor would be underway right away.

And now we are, Chex notes, April 24th and they are still without a general manager.

So they've certainly taken their time.

It's been a very thorough search in Nashville.

Yeah.

And, you know, the longer he stays, the more questions that will be asked about when he's leaving.

Because he's already opened that door.

And I think everyone is fully cognizant of the fact that Rutherford is definitely not long for this job.

Although, who knows?

They don't prove us wrong, Jim Rutherford.

But...

the uncertainty with him in that position is twofold.

Like you said, is he still a position and figure of authority?

And then whether he is or isn't, the question is like, when does he leave?

And when do you get a replacement in place?
