Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

When you're the GM and you're the big boss, you got to deal with so many other things that come at you.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So you have to delegate a lot of responsibilities.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So hiring the one individual could be positive, but it's about how that individual fills out the entire staff and how robust that staff is in terms of executing their plan that makes it a successful group or not.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And that's something that obviously is going to take some time to fill in overall.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

I know people are asking the question, this one unsigned, could Johnson be the VP for a year with Rutherford mentoring him before taking over as president while Gold would be the GM?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

I mean, again, I'm not saying these things are not possible, but who's the boss?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And if Evan Gold's coming in... Right, who's... But if Evan Gold is coming in... That was a 1980s TV sitcom reference for those.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Also Angela, but nevertheless.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Yeah, that's good.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

But does Evan Gold, again, I think unless you sit both guys down and they hit it off or whatever, like, hey, we can work together.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

We're moving forward here and we're doing this successfully.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Or you're looking at it and you're saying, would Evan Gold come to a place where somebody else is above him?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And who's the boss?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

You can say this person has a VP title, but who's actually the boss?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Who's the key hockey ops decision maker?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And based on what Rutherford said, the GM is going to be that guy.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Yeah.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So if they hire someone to be the GM, are you going to promote someone above that?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

You could, but are you then... How solid do you feel as the GM that's coming in?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And also, if you're RJ, it's like, well, you're above him, but you're not going to be the key hockey op decision maker.
