That is just a natural human incentive.

There's also softer forms of it, by the way.

A lot of the amateur scouts that work for NHL teams are also guys who could be a USHL GM if they wanted to be, or a coach in junior hockey, or at the prep level, or what have you.

One thing that can help you in that respect is make sure that the guy...

you know, who you're recruiting gets drafted in the seventh round.

Like, honestly, there's all sorts of individual incentives that start to come into play and can impact a process if you don't keep everybody on the same page.

So beyond just sort of the way you treat people, which is a critical part of what I'm talking about and that needs to be rebuilt, how this team treats their fans, how they treat their players, how they treat player agents, how they treat local hockey players, how they treat junior hockey players, how they treat season ticket holders.

And

day-to-day media all of this stuff which needs to be rebuilt in my mind if the Canucks are going to you know return to being a great franchise it also pertains to their own staff their own people right so in addition to that part running things like this also endangers your process

it's also bad process.

Like it's also, it's also bad business.

Which is true of every other factor that I've described.

So as much as we're going to talk about what the Canucks need to do in terms of player personnel moves and rebuilding this roster and how does the next great Canucks team get constructed and all that.

Like, feel the rebuild in your hearts.

The rebuild is the friends we made along the way.

The rebuild is a much larger concept than just the players and the player personnel decisions.

Can the Canucks catch the 2021 pandemic Canucks?
