He stands out for me. Suspicion of he’s maybe a power tripper. A hunch

Right! I read somewhere lots of NHL executives have no idea what he does.

We were tossing around the idea Weisbrod may be a problem. Who knows, just a wild guess.

What is this perceived problem, I’m haven’t been following Vancouver’s fickle media outlets.

Brackett on the outs with the team. Sportsnet gossip and BS got it started, he's not under contract after this year.

Why run all season with him if this happened at last years draft.

I just listened for the two minutes. Rumours that some scouts weren't being listened to enough. Brackett sought after rumour to Edmonton last year.

I don't think Brackett is some sort of magical God. If they lose him, he will be replaced. He's not the only person making decisions in that room.

Oh, thanks. Brackett has been with the club for about a dozen years, maybe he has worn out his welcome.

Have there been any specific complaints or the Sportsnet group over heard a disagreement of some sort?

Satiar Shah, 👎 he may have some team insight, but I personally do not like his intermission stint with Murph and McKintyre and always fast forward when he shows up.

He definitely comes across as a drama queen.

Maybe Brackett is due a promotion. The issue being other clubs may poach him. He's part of the prospect player development turnaround on the Canucks.

Not sure he warrants a promotion, ever since Benning became GM I would say the scouting department works as cohesive group. If it took Brackett 10 years to become relevant within that group, I don’t think another promotion is in order.

Some of us were aware of Brackett with the club, before Benning, but because fanboys like Lefty think Benning is an idiot and Brackett is doing all the heavy lifting, they make up stories that Brackett is the drafting genius. And wouldn’t you know that the lemmings here swallow the bull.

Jimbo doesn’t get his share of the credit. Usually all too often judged on looks & speech. A vain approach to judge him blinded to what has been done & what is to come.

Yeah sure JB deserves his due credit. Like I said Brackett is just part of the reason for improvement. So why not promote him like the contract/cap guy got AGM.

- NuckUp

My question is why promote him, why not promote someone else if there is a need to promote someone. What is so special about being part of a group/team that you want to single out Brackett.

Leave things as is, Brackett has been part of the scouting group for 12 years and was recently promoted about 3 years ago.

Got it, Lefty is a drama fanboy and I’m the voice of reason. Thanks vintsy for pointing this out for everyone to see.
