Refurbishing What it means to be a Canuck

And even if that does happen, I would imagine they will still be looking to add to that management group.

But it was interesting that RJ mentioned when asked about filling out the management team that they have to consider their internal options for that Abbotsford GM gig as well.

Now, you can debate whether the player should have been committed to in the first place, but the actual numbers have kind of fallen in line.

Across the board, like there aren't really... I think the one that they maybe got off kilter a little bit was the Lankanen one, where you gave him as much as he got a little bit with the extra term.

But I would also say that was a more GM slash president driven...

Now, you could be skeptical of the player, but in terms of his production and numbers, and I do believe, like I said, that there is this sense internally that
