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.
That was a rebuilding guy.
It's so look, I think the relationship in the end and the opportunity will Trump all, but then we do have to talk about the true awkwardness, which was addressed a little bit yesterday.
with the situation that the Canucks might be in in relation to Caleb Vaholdra.
I mean, it's like the very last thing that they need.
I think it's an incredibly difficult needle to thread.
And I think it's even more difficult for a first-time NHL head coach.
Like, look, every single thing that anyone has ever heard or said about Manny Malhotra, about Ryan Johnson, about the Sedins is like all class and 100% character, right?
Yep.
But even then, it strains the relationship, I think, and it's not just from coach to prospect or coach to NHL player, if that's what it becomes, in the father-son dynamic.
It strains the other relationship between, I think, and this is just my opinion, teammates and coach, teammates and son, teammates or players then directing messages to the front office.
and the other parts of the coaching staff.
