The Whiteboard: Canucks Head Coach "Search"

from Canucks Talk · host Sportsnet

Jamie and Drance discuss the Vancouver Canucks’ coaching “search,” and why it increasingly feels like the organization may move directly into negotiations with Manny Malhotra instead of conducting a lengthy external process. The guys debate the importance of trust, familiarity, and organizational alignment when promoting an AHL coach, while also questioning how much true change has actually happened with many of the same faces still remaining in the front office. Plus, the Whiteboard dives into a major war room scenario involving a potential trade-back offer from Calgary that could allow the Canucks to stockpile draft picks as the rebuild continues.
