Come For The Banter - Stay For The Disappointment
Nucks Fan Rebuild & Retool Center - Come For The Banter - Stay For The Disappointment
There is something happening in Canuckland, something that is challenging my well-earned, deep-seated, omnipresent sense of dread.
The team is apparently interviewing multiple GM candidates, and some of them are actually not old, retread dinosaurs.
Included in the list of not-retread dinosaurs:
What's fascinating is that each of these, along with others who were apparently told "thank you for your time, the successful candidate will be contacted shortly [and you ain't it]" ( like Patrick Burke, from the NHL's Department of Player Endangerment) is that ... these are new faces. First time faces, but with actual credibility.
It almost makes one think that maybe the Canucks won't bungle this, but there's that part of "of course Jay Beagle" part of me that is confident they'll find a way to do just that. So instead of any of those new, intelligent, forward-thinking people, expect Rutherford to select an old, retread dinosaur (Kevyn Adams, Pierre Dorion). Because it's not too late to frig things up.
Next up, we'll debate who will be the total bust the Canucks choose with the third overall pick, because if you think anything else will happen.... you haven't watched this mess long enough.
