Agree, the team first and foremost needs an experienced coaching to come in and take control of the room, which Green has obviously lost.

No firsts and foremost a President needs to be hired.

I would start over in a heartbeat if they could get a good young defenseman and a center for Pettersson. Like Quinton Byfield and Brandt Clarke out of LA. Then trade a Boeser and Miller to Minny for Fiala and Dumba.

A flake like Fiala should come cheaper or not at all.

I’m a realist, Francesco is the defacto President and he isn’t giving that up any time soon. I agree with you, the organization needs a properly structured management system, but I just don’t see it happening.

I thought it had pretty much happened last season that he wasn't good enough but JB thought otherwise, unless it was FA that wanted Green back. Which maybe JB wanted a different voice and that's why he hired Shaw.

Who knows what wanted what in that front office.

Or other way around and FA was unsure of Green so JB was told he had to hire someone to help out Green.

Then doomed to failure.
You have a GM that would give this 3rd jowl to keep his job and an owner that will sell the entire future of the squad down the river for playoff revenue.

What front office?
There is an Owner and a Toadie. Probably share the same seat.

If it is true that Babcock is having dinner in Van. Julien is supposed to be named head coach of team Canada soon. Would guess he's out of the running.

It would be that FA is going to take his time to hire someone else. The losses will continue and Van will be drafting top 10 again next season hopefully.

Johan Franzen called Babcock the most detail oriented coach he’s ever played for, he also called him the worst human being he’s ever come across

Then what...
Let Brock go because you ain't paying that 7.5 mil QO.
Let Miller and Bo walk cause they are not resigning in this mess.

Some confusion setting up a drill at #Canucks practice, as Travis Green discussed it at length with Boeser.

Appears to be a straightforward 2-on-0 drill, but the wrong mix of players was in various ends.

J.T. Miller could be heard yelling, “We don’t know what we’re doing!”

Saw a McLaren 720S on Hayden Road today, holy fuck what a beautiful car. They’re around $300,000 USD

Babcock was also probably the reason Franzen had an NHL Career.

That was NHL culture during those years though. Maybe Babcock has grown and learned since.

He was also the only NHL coach he played for.

I'm pretty sure you have already jumped off the cliff and are headed directly into the fire. Or lit yourself on fire before jumping off the cliff.

Remember this beauty?

Hey Mike Babcock....simply put your players quit on you. They quit on you because you are a terrible human being. You are an average coach with an extremely oversized ego. You finally got exactly what you deserve you selfish wiener. The hockey world is ecstatic.
