Sekeres & Price Show · Rob Williams: New coach and a new front office. What do they foresee for the Canucks captaincy and Elias Pettersson's future? · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

At least in terms of dealing with the media, they've got that part down. voice-verified

Yeah, I mean, I wasn't on the media. voice-verified

I was in Vancouver, but not on the media scene when they were around as players. voice-verified

But, I mean, I remember following along where... Wasn't it the captain skates where Manny Malhotra got the whiteboard out? voice-verified

Like, when he first joined the team, like, he screamed that he was going to be a future coach, right? voice-verified

Like, that just... That was, like, not surprising at all. voice-verified

And, yeah, I just... It's... voice-verified

it's, it's really cool. voice-verified

I think the fact that they've got, we've got all these former Canucks players here, there, there is, there's this part in the back of my mind with all of these hires where like the vibes are high and everything. voice-verified

And I've sort of got this voice in the back of my mind though, where I'm like, Oh, some of this reminds me a little bit of the, of the Trevor Linden president experience. voice-verified

I know it's different. voice-verified

He didn't have any experience before he got into that job where these guys have paid their dues a lot more for sure in management. voice-verified

Um, voice-verified

And part of it also kind of reminds me of, like, the Oilers when they just started hiring all these, like, 80s Oilers guys. voice-verified

And I just, like, geez, I just hope it doesn't end up being something like that. voice-verified

You know, the difference here being that these guys have paid their dues a little bit more, but... voice-verified

you know, now not having, you know, they don't really have a ton of experience in that front office. voice-verified

And I do think it would be, would serve them well to surround themselves with a bit more experience, just to have someone that they can bounce some ideas off of, voice-verified

you know, more than, more than Jim Rutherford as the, as the advisor, like with Manny, like when you think you'd like to get like a long, either a long time assistant coach or someone that has been a head coach in the past to have on your staff, I think it would make a lot of sense. voice-verified

Oh, he certainly could. voice-verified
