Maybe they do nothing at all. They have a good thing going right now. Everyone pointing fingers at each other calling each other out as they continue losing.

GM says no one wants our crap players then draft high. They are either really dumb or really smart (Stealth Tank)

The next question should be, then why did you sign them?

As Rubes said, Bruce is only part of the issue. If they fire him that’s almost $5m in salary being paid to coaches not to to coach, plus whatever they would need to do to replace him. And for what, certainly not a playoff push. Better to just stop talking to the media and go about their business (or losing)

Starting to think that Benning and company would have stubbled upon a winning team quite a bit sooner than this new regime who after a year are still unravelling.

Looks like Kuzmenko will be scratched. #Canucks @Sportsnet650



what was that saying from a couple weeks ago. "Even if we have something good, we will still trash it"?

They know they're not good enough and it doesn't seem like they like each other

But I'm sure another coaching change and moving around some 3rd liners and depth dmen will change everything

- Nucker101

Don't forget to add another few 975K players for the bottom 6. Seems to be working good.

“[JT Miller has] now been on the ice for 25 goals against at all strengths, which is the highest on the Canucks…if anyone else checked out defensively like Miller did, they’d be stapled to the bench.”

Bruce Boudreau - "tonight instead of scratching Miller who is not good at all this year, we will scratch a rookie, who is getting accustomed to the league"

He has been struggling, but no more than Miller, who gets a pass, because he is coaches pet.

Sat said his understanding is if they make a coaching change in the future it's not necessarily going to be a coach who has been a (NHL) head coach before.

Sat thinks coaches like Grönborg would be on Allvin's short list.

(Canucks Central)

Taj

This was from June but recently Sat has mentioned they will probably want to look at international candidates for their next permanent head coach.

Have to think Gronborg would still be on that list.


I think Gronborg would be a decent candidate because he is used to a lot of prima donna's coming into one room and getting them to play very well together at international tournaments.

He is now. Probably hasn't been a healthy scratch ever.

Canucks can just say Bruce isn't coming back anyways. Plus will give you an extra 750k per season

Rick Bowness quote on HNIC

"Bad teams are led by no one."

"Average teams are led by coaches."

"Good teams are led by the players."

When was the last time a Swedish team won an international tournament. Iirc, they are known more for choking, than they are for succeeding

He would be a nice inexpensive pickup for a good team that is almost capped out.
