Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So let me throw my corporate hat on.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Okay.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

What is the most...

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Likely scenario of the most cost-effective way to do this.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Bring a new GM in?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

No, I'm saying like playing this out between the two candidates here, right?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

You can hire Evan Gold, which is luring someone away from another organization.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So there's a cost to that.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Right.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And then retaining the coach or promoting Rian Johnson, which is a cost to that, of course, because it's a new job title.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

But then potentially relieving the coach and promoting someone else.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Would that play a role in this of like, okay, this avenue costs this much, this avenue costs this much, and that goes into the decision-making process?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

I don't know if it's the cost of that I don't think is going to be overly different because I don't think that Adam Foote's under a massive contract.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And as much as Manny has cachet, is he going to be coming in demanding three, four, five million per season?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

Doubtful.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

And given that Gold nor Ryan Johnson have been GMs in the first place, they're also not going to be demanding massive salaries, right?

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

So I think it's pretty equal overall.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

But the cheapest way would be to just bring one person in as a GM, keep the head coach on, and then figure it out later.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

But I think that's the thing where the decision on the coach could really differ depending on whether it's RJ or Evan Golden.

Canucks Central
The Open: Front Office Frontrunners

I think that's an interesting thing to kind of keep an eye on.
