    Default Canucks shakeup?

    Key snippets from Friedman's 32 Thoughts today re changes in Vancouver:

    "Everyone in the organization knows changes are coming."

    "There were a few hours on Thursday I thought something was going to happen. I really thought those who believe “we have to do something right now…anything!” were going to win the day."

    "We will see what Friday brings. There are so many rumours right now, it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction."

    "Some of that is because the organization is doing external research on potential candidates, both in the front office and behind the bench. Obviously, you try to keep that as quiet as possible, but there’s always the risk of leakage."

    "It is believed that if the Canucks wished to speak to Julien, for example, Montreal would not block permission."

    is this in any way a case of tuning a coach out? It makes no sense that this group is this bad...i know Markstrom is gone but this is similar team to 2 years ago where they were pretty dominant and now its like they cant do anything ...

    for Van i surly hope they are trying to get Green fired cuase if they giving all they have Van is in real trouble ..i dont know how you overturn that personnel...

    As much as a move to just make a move is bad and rarely works, Vancouver needs to adjust something. The team needs a wakeup, in some way. Fire the coach, maybe the team wakes up. Move Miller, maybe the players wake up as a "oh my, my jobs not safe".

    I would be very curious what the returns would be for Miller and Boeser, and would a GM who likely won't reap the rewards of those trades (because he'll be fired before they become NHLers) would do that move. Seriously, if I'm Benning, why would I make the move to hurt my roster and driving the nail further into the coffin. There's no doubt he can draft, and can likely get an Assistant GM job pretty quickly.

    The next 4 weeks will be interesting for the Canucks.

    It'll be interesting to see if a personnel move is made. Friedman also described in his column the tendency for GMs to make knee jerk or bad moves during times like this. He frequently will say GMs throw other GMs anvils not life preservers when they're drowning so I can't imagine any return is going to be good for Vancouver.
