Uh, but one statement that I think that was really important that was made yesterday without saying anything is the fact that they were willing to move on from Adam foot and all of his assistants and clean house.

There's been lots of questions about how the Vancouver Canucks will approach this rebuild from a resources perspective.

That was a really positive sign because there was lots of talk about, hey, they're not spending a ton on this general manager.

There's another team I mentioned, Nashville, that's not projected to spend a lot either.

Are we seeing this sort of landscape change right in front of this?

Are the Canucks doing this on the cheap?

The first answer we have just a few days in is no, that's not the plan.

Well, I think there's definitely something to the inevitability, but my question would be, does now make sense?

Is now really the right time?

Because let's face it, there's years and years of pain to come for this Vancouver Canucks team.

And so do you want Manny Malhotra, who you believe in and you think is a quality coach to bear the brunt of that, have a record be pounded

And then all of a sudden, when you actually get this team to where you want it to be roster-wise, then what?

How many coaches actually survive from the rebuild to the other side?

Kind of the only guy that I can think of.

This isn't really a job that people would be attracted to.

Yeah, I mean, you know going in that you're signing up for a head coaching record that if you're lucky has a 400 points percentage.

Right.

And at the end of it, whenever that is, and let's be totally clear and honest, I don't care who's running the Vancouver Canucks from a front office perspective, whether it's Ryan Johnson and the Sedins or Jim Benning or Jim Rutherford or anyone else along the line, there's a history of things ending bloody.

In Vancouver, there just is.

And so if it turns sour or when it turns sour, then you're left with the stain of being a coach.
