Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

I think so.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

Well, I don't think this is necessarily a departure from what we see in other organizations.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

We oftentimes do see the supporting executives, AGMs, have multiple hats, wear multiple titles.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

Like, look at RJ, for instance.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

AGM and GM of the Abbey Canucks.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

Now, obviously, his chief focus was very much on the Abbey Canucks, but we do know that he did take on a bigger role in terms of scouting, even on the amateur side, even before the decision was made on Patrick Alvin's future.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

And perhaps this was...

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

the inevitable that was going to happen with Patrick Alvin, that RJ was also going on these scouting missions to watch Caleb and the other high draft picks.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

So as much as he was the Abbey GM, he did do more than just, you know, run the Abbey Canucks.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

So I don't have, I don't necessarily have an issue with people wearing multiple hats.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

And I think part of

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

the strengths of some individuals as the ability to do more than one thing.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

At the same time, the more people you have who are credible, who are good at what they do, that specialize in certain areas, would, in theory, give you more resources and perhaps a better chance of having success in each individual role.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

So I'm not downplaying the idea of it'd be nice to have somebody be the director of player personnel, somebody being the director of player development.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

But it's not a far departure of what happens, except for teams like the Leafs and teams that have more robust front offices that are more specialized in each individual.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

So we know the Canucks are probably not going to build out a front office the same level as the Leafs and other teams are going to.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

It doesn't mean it's doomed for failure.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

People know what they're doing.

Canucks Central
The Open: What's Next for the Canucks

Yeah.

And the thing is, it's not like they pay top dollar for their executives.
