Chapter 4: How do the hosts react to the current state of the Canucks organization?
We got a lot on this show, Randy, but all of it takes a backseat to the Vancouver Canucks general manager and president of hockey op search. What have you made over what's gone on? Let's just go into the last 24 hours and all the twists and turns and news and developments on the Canucks GM search.
Yeah, there's so much to think about. The way that information is filtered out, it's created confusion. And I think one thing we have to look at with the Canucks organization is that for the most part, they've remained quiet. The leaks have been minimal right now through this process, guys. So there's been a lot of confusion. There's been a lot of, you know, I think a search for answers.
And when things are quiet, you know, sometimes information gets out there that may be close the fact that they talked to a lot of people really created some confusion early on. And I think some of the reporting was probably centered around that and some of the conversation.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent coaching changes in the NHL?
So, you know, over the last 24 hours with the Ryan Johnson, you know, leading the race, so to speak, and with the Sadeen's, looking like they're going to be in a senior role. A couple of things stand out for me when it comes to Ryan Johnson. We knew he was going to be a part of this conversation. I was on with you guys a couple of weeks ago. I believe there's one listener that did not buy it.
Well, I hope you're buying it now because it seems like he's in the front of that race. And Johnson was always going to be a part of this conversation, right? Going back three or four years, he was being tipped as somebody to watch in the NHL for a GM job. Now, the Sedin is a surprise one to me because If this does happen, which it seems like it will, what will this role encompass, right?
Is this a helping leadership within the organization, whether that's executive leadership and players? Is that overall creating a better culture in the organization? And will there be hockey operations strategic direction as well? Because they have worked in a player development role.
So I think the last 24 hours have obviously provided clarity for some fans that they were maybe hoping for an outside voice to come in. I think that certainly
could have been looked at as well but you know when you feel like you've gone through a thorough process when you feel like you have good people in the organization uh you certainly have to look at them and i think with ryan johnson it's certainly not a surprise that he's leading the race because if you go back two or three years guys you know his name was always there was there something to be said for bringing in a fresh view a fresh perspective an outsider's view
think there always is right and the fact that you know if this was a situation where they hadn't talked to people Jason that is where I'd be concerned to say you know you didn't even explore that conversation there were a number of interviews so I think bringing an outside perspective looking at an organization in a different way it is really important but at the same time I think there was a bit of a maybe a situation where you're wondering okay you might have
just because somebody brings in a fresh voice, are you essentially saying we really like you, but this guy's saying something different. There's, it kind of works both ways, right? Like do you essentially limit, uh, you know, the previous experience or maybe the shine on this individual, just because you're hearing something different. So I, you know, I've talked about it before.
I think having an outside perspective, somebody that thinks outside the box is necessary, but both of those things, thinking outside the box doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be from the outside of the organization. Ryan Johnson, even though he's been a part of the organization since 2013, he has not had the top job.
He's learned under multiple managers and just because he's not necessarily an outsider, so to speak, doesn't getting the top job in any market allows you to have more freedom, more flexibility, and you can put that imprint on the organization yourself. So yes, an outsider, I think a fresh face sometimes certainly brings in more more optimism because they're not linked to a previous regime.

Chapter 6: What strategies are being considered for the Canucks' future roster moves?
that type of thinker. It's not necessarily that he's going to do it the old way that everybody else did it.
Are you as fascinated as I am to see what kind of tone the three of these guys strike in their first press conference? Because on the one hand, they could go in there and just be like, we're not going to spend too much time on the past. We are optimistic about the future. We've got an opportunity here, you know, positive stuff. On the other hand,
they could say what has happened here over the last few years is unacceptable and that will not continue on our watch. What tone do you think they'll strike?
Yeah, I think with Ryan Johnson, because we've heard him speak in that role, at least with the Abbotsford Canucks, we kind of have a sense of his style, right? Like he's, He doesn't seem like a guy that's too fiery in front of the cameras. It's a pretty chill, mild mannered individual. Does that change when he gets to the top level? I'm sure it will at some point. Introductory, probably not.
The one that I'm intrigued about, guys, is the Sedins. We know these guys are quality individuals. They stand for what being a Canuck is. But this will be a different temperature. This will be a different job altogether. And, you know, you guys have had the opportunity to interview them. I have. And, you know, very personable individuals.
They've dealt with plenty of criticism before, but management criticism is different. And even that introductory press conference of.
if you are no longer the players of the hockey development coaches you know what's that tone going to be like is it going to be a little bit more uh you know setting the culture right away taking a bit of a hard line or is it going to be a little bit more of a hey we've got to rebuild there's a long path here but one thing is for sure the canucks certainly need to make sure that the organizational culture is addressed and how big of a role
will they have on that front versus hockey operations like that balance of hockey operations meets you know making sure that leadership and making sure that you know individuals act a certain way and you know represent the shield a certain way i think you'll get that right at the front because that's where something you know that i read at the beginning because that's something that the sardines were known for they've ever been known for representing the city so that pride and
I think you'll see that and hear that right away. Now, beyond that, in terms of, you know, how much they step into that role and whatever that role is, I think that's a big question, right? Like we still don't know technically what that role is. That's going to be a part of that conversation. Is it going to be, is it going to be more of a culture setting role?

Chapter 7: What key lessons do the hosts reflect on from the past week in sports?
When you're in a position at a lower level, I'm sure you have your thoughts. Well, now you can flex them. The other thing here is Jim Rutherford is going to be there for strategic advice, right? That's what we've heard. So it's not like Ryan Johnson is going to be there on his own.
Chapter 8: What are the audience's opinions on the Canucks' management decisions?
I'm sure if he wants to get thoughts of ā Jim Rutherford, that's going to be there. So from a trade perspective, you're right. As a rookie GM, there are some very interesting conversations that could be happening. You know, obviously we've talked about Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrus names popped up. There's a bunch of others that have popped up in conversations.
We don't need to probably go down that road again, but we all know who we're talking about. The other aspect of this, and I think from a deal-making when it comes to contracts, July 1st, if the Canucks decide to spend some money, if there's any players left to sign on July 1st when it comes down to it, is the AGM conversation, right?
When you make a change at the general manager position, senior management roles, as the Deans were coming in, So assistant general managers, are they all going to stick around? Are you adding? Are you subtracting? Emily Castonguay has taken a lot of the contract work over her tenure when it comes to the cap and just figuring out contracts. Is that regime in its entirety sticking around?
So not only from a Ryan Johnson, what can he do in terms of his own deals and some big decisions coming here, but what kind of team are they going to
keep as well or are they going to add to the position if you're taking an agm and making them gm you're going to have to add somebody but are there potentially other changes as well or is it going to be a status quo so you know i think on a couple of fronts you've got some runway until july 1st no doubt about that uh but when it comes to the draft when it comes to you know making deals right after the stanley cup final if they're out there to be made of course the microscope is going to be out on ryan johnson and just seeing what kind of
deals he can make because hey the guys across the league as well the GMs across the league they want to find that out as well you know it might be similar to uh you know everybody's fantasy football league where you're at least sending out feelers to say okay what kind of what kind of deals does this guy make what's he capable of so I'm sure there's going to be some conversations had right after the Stanley Cup finals
We're speaking to Randy Janda here on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650. A lot of text coming in to the Dunbar Lumber text message inbox here at 650-650 about the future of head coach Adam Foote in light of these soon-to-be-announced, I guess, hires. We'll call them for now. And it's, of course, it's been a pretty busy morning in the world of NHL coaching.
In case anyone listening missed it earlier... Craig Berube is out as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. There's already some online scuttle that they could be interested, maybe Manny Malhotra to fill the position there. And, of course, the Canucks could be interested in that as well.
I guess my first question for you is the one that a lot of people are asking in the Dunbar Lumber text message in Basket, Randy. What does this new hire or hires mean for the future of Adam Foote behind the bench of the Vancouver Canucks?
