Makes a lot of sense hiring a coach that makes the most of what he has and has a connection with the younger Canucks.
Worked out well with Vigneault (though he did have prior NHL exp). Green is the best coach to rebuild.

Now they should focus on associate/assistant coaches that can run the PP
Any eligible names out there?

Looks like travis green will be our new head coach
Heard the news this morning, can't say I'm surprised as it was going to be the most likely hire. I'm cautiously optimistic as Travis Green has a good record, but he comes across as very similar to Willie.
If Canucks don't get top 2 in this draft...fuck.
That said, I'm bracing for 5th anyway, bad luck is all I've ever known as a Canucks fan.

Baumgartner is nice and all but I was hoping they'd bring in someone with experience in the NHL or at least some Special Teams specialty.
There's still a spot for an associate coach I guess.
quick search on AHL stats showed Utica was ~20 in special teams out of 30...though Utica had shit all last year so being low middle is pretty respectable.

^Can you post up your sources in regards to who Benning and Linden wanted.
+1. I do wish dbaz posts his sources from the start rather than having to ask each time. He always shares rather interesting info and rumours, but I've noticed a pattern where he often prefaces it with 'apparently' to cover his ass if it's turns out to be garbage.
ioc president apparently said nhl players can play if they want in the Olympics, just wants to see good product for the game. cant find the tweet atm but should create drama when half the capitals go lul

WTF is with NHL teams giving inexperienced coaches 4 year deals?
Friedman briefly mentioned it in his 30 thoughts
Seems like the starting ask from FA Coaches (a la Ruff, Hitchcock, Sutter) is a 3-4 year contract.
If Canucks wanted to give someone that term, they were better off with a quantity they know vs someone external. For the most part, I agree. Gives him a bit of a piece of mind cus the first couple years will be dog shit at best.

The relationship between Dent and the team seemed to fall apart over the past few months based on reporting from the Chicago Tribune. The Hawks weren’t thrilled when Dent apologized on Twitter to fans after the organization traded Spencer Abbott, Mark McNeill, and Sam Carrick, and he also made frustrated comments on the matter to a local TV station.
And then came another major issue when Dent reportedly “angered the Hawks when he sent out a frustrated text message to players saying if they had any questions about the lineup, they should contact Bowman directly.”
This guy wouldn't last a day in Vancouver's organization

One of Canada’s largest and most passionate sports markets is about to get a lot more premium sports content, as Sportsnet will launch a new, all-sports radio station — Sportsnet 650 — in Vancouver this fall.
Rogers Media will acquire the Vancouver AM station CISL from Newcap Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited), subject to approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), and will change the station’s format to all-sports. The transaction is expected to close in summer 2017.
“We are excited to build upon our strong radio brands in the Vancouver market. With Vancouver being such a passionate sports town, there is a strong appetite for all-sports radio that delivers engaging conversation, wide-ranging opinion, and top-tier live sports content,” said Julie Adam, Senior Vice President of Radio, Rogers Media.
Sportsnet 650 will have year-round top-tier sports content, including Vancouver Canucks and Blue Jays games, plus the MLB post-season. Additional programming details and on-air personalities will be announced in the coming months.
“Vancouver has an incredibly loyal fan base, and this is a natural fit to expand our Sportsnet offering,” said Scott Moore, President of Sportsnet, Rogers Media. “Sportsnet has been strongly committed to the Vancouver community since the network’s inception in 1998 when we first began televising Canucks games.”
Sportsnet 650 marks the third all-sports radio station for Sportsnet, alongside stations Sportsnet 590 The FAN in Toronto and Sportsnet 960 The FAN in Calgary.
Senior Vice President of Sales of Rogers Media Al Dark says, “Sportsnet is Canada’s number one sports brand, and we are thrilled we have another platform for our advertisers to reach their target audiences.”
The AM 650 station will continue to be broadcast in its current format until Sportsnet 650 radio launches in the fall.
