But for our purposes, we're focusing on they ask the agents who are the who's the worst run franchise in the NHL and also who's the hardest front office to deal with.

in addition to asking the positive versions of those questions.

You'll never guess, but the Canucks were voted the worst run franchise in the NHL.

They had seven votes of the agents pulled.

The Rangers were next with four.

So, again, you know, small sample stuff here.

Take it into context.

confirmation bias that's results dependent yeah and then second hardest front office to deal if they had four votes Anaheim was first with seven and I think the more interesting thing Verbeek man yeah some of the quotes about Verbeek about just like the grind it is to get things done and you saw it with Mason McTavish I mean yeah yeah

Anyways, probably more interesting than just where they finish in these polls is some of the quotes.

And again, you have to take all this with a grain of salt, right?

Because what I'm about to read, it's the thoughts of one agent.

So, right, it doesn't mean it's gospel, but it's still very interesting.

So on the Canucks, they're a mess, one agent said simply.

I don't know what their plan is, groused another.

They really don't have the infrastructure that the players need to remove excuses, added a third agent.

It just seems there's a lot of soap opera stuff going on around here.

I just think management needs to do a better job of keeping things in house more.

No alignment with what's happening in the organization.

It just can't get going anywhere.

Just a discombobulation.
