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.

Like, I just think there's a number of awkward layers to it that to me, I'd want to hold off until I understand what the draft board looks like.

But I understand that they won't have that luxury to do that because of now pulling the trigger.

That's the one thing I was curious about is why did this have to be made today?

Maybe is it out of fairness to that staff?

But what is like,

Why couldn't you make this change on June 29th?

Well, maybe they're... Is that an unreasonable question?

A little bit, but I guess I'd have to understand more what she clearly was very opposed to going into detail on of exactly what is what John Chayka wants.

No one knows the answer to that question.
