Doug MacLean

You know, I remember hearing, like, Dale Tallon was going to get the job.

Dale Tallon thought he had the job before Jimmy Rutherford got the job.

Dale thought he had the job.

And all of a sudden, Jimmy got it.

So, you know, and then he hired Alvin, who they had a history in Pittsburgh, and the guy had done a good job in European scouting.

He was with them five years as GM.

I don't know that he did a bad job.

All I know is when they took that franchise over...

It looked like they were on the on the verge of becoming a really good team.

And it's just it's been a it's been a disaster with all their top players starting at Horvath and Quinn and on and on and on.

We've talked about that numerous times.

So, you know, Jimmy Jimmy's a good hockey man.

He won in Carolina.

He won in Pittsburgh.

You know, this is going to be a big hire for Vancouver Canucks.

A big, big hire for the Vancouver Canucks.

And you go in there knowing that Jimmy's your boss.

And that's fair.

I actually sent a note to Aquilini when the job was open last time.

and recommended Chris McFarlane for the job.
