Not sure if this is mentioned already, but the Team 1040 guys are saying that when JB got his new contract, there was a clause that he was to report straight to ownership and not Trev.

This could be a reason why there was some friction between Trev + JB.
- Trev is like: WTF brah? You go out and sign all these guys and you don't tell me? I'm the guy who gave you your job and this is how you treat me?
- JB twiddles his thumbs: sorry bro, it's written in my contract. Francisco is my boss. He signs my cheques and I gotta do what he wants.
I just hope Aqua-man learned from the past when he wanted Nonis to trade Kes/Edler for B.Richards. I pray he doesn't tell JB to trade some of our young stars like BoHo, Petterson, Jake, Demko, Tryamkin, Gaudette, and Hughes for some immediate help. JB does have a bit of Elmer in him, so he just might do it. Don't think JB has the balls, fortitude and bleeds Canuck colours like Nonis. He does have some qualities of a Yes Man. I look at the Canucks and I see some resemblance to the Islanders of the early 90s under Mad Mike when they drafted all those great players like Palffy, Chara, Brewer, Redden, Kasperitus, Lachance, Bert, McCabe, Luongo, T.Green, etc. Man, whoever was telling Mad Mike to draft all these guys did a hell of a job. Quite a few former Canucks on that list, including our current coach. *hehe* If the Isle kept all those guys, they would have been a top contender for alot of years. Man, if JB starts trading some of our top young players, I might finally quit cheering for the team.
Not sure if the bridge is burnt, but Aqua-man should have kept Trev as a part-time ambassador or something. Trev can do his business stuff outside the team and come in to help the team once in awhile (ie: meet with season ticket holders, be a PR guy with the media (which he is pretty good at), schmooze with some the corporate guys, do some meet and greets with fans, etc). A part of me just thinks that in some way, Trev should be involved with this franchise. Maybe down the road.
