The Van management team has treated one of the best coaches in the league like a piece of garbage. Allvin and Castonguay up in the rafters look like toolboxes.
First Swedish GM and first two female assistant GMs in league history, and it seems like the team is a tire fire management-wise. For all their forward-thinking, the Canucks are showing that they were prepared to be woke, but seem to be going broke in the process.

To be fair. This team has been dysfunctional for the majority of its existence. Signing Messier, trading a great leader like Linden and giving the Moose the ‘C’ really stands out as a feaux pas.
If it was not late, I could go on for a while. It’s not the ‘wokeness’.
|
Was Linden a "great leader"? I always thought he was a bottom rung "star". Sort of like a Ryan Smyth-type where the fans love him, but he's really not much of an impact guy. I think that bringing in Messier was one thing - he was getting on in years so it wasn't like they were getting him in his prime - but they also brought on Keenan about then, and that wasn't a recipe for success by that point.
|
My point of reference comes from buddies and relatives that live in BC, or are just Canuck fans. They say he was a huge factor in the dressing room and the trade/then Mess deal set them back. It’s regarded as a dark period by the fan base.
I always felt like the Keenan hire wasn’t mutually exclusive to bringing Messier in. It had a “It worked for the Rangers” feel to it.
