I think we can all guess the outcome. We're stuck in a time loop.
Consider the events in the time loop thus far... there are still others in the rafters.
Once this iteration of the experiment fails, it will be deja voodoo all over again and onto the next.
We will be involved in at least another 3 lotteries in the next decade. One playoff round out of nowhere. JR gets his long-awaited place in the Canucks ROH. PoHo Naslund hired in 2035. Book it.

No greater authority than Max Sasson is praising RyJo

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

So who makes the final decision?
Somewhere in NW BC trying (yet again) to trade a(nother) Swede…..

All of this in-house movement doesn't get me very excited for a 'culture change' in the organization.
This is a deep hole to dig out from, and I'm not betting the farm that Johnson has the answers. The Sedins won't be able to bring much operational experience to the table either - all this leaves me completely uninspired for the coming season.
The draft will be the highlight of the year.
The Jet Woo Era is over.

What inspiring talent have the Sedin's and Johnson promoted to the senior club during their tenure in Abbotsford?
Karlson? Anyone else?
D Pete still can't skate, Letterkenny can't get out of the medical office...
The excuse for Abby's failure is all their talent went to Vancouver. Vancouver finished last in the league with Abby's talent.

As I said yesterday, lateral status quo, so typically Canuck.
We're in the hockey Matrix....

Couldn't drag myself into tuning into that dog and pony show.
Same old, same old.
If it ain't broke don't fix it right?

Yawn.... this is shaping up to be a bland, generic edition of the Canucks.
I hope the Sedins know they have to do more than "show up early" and build a safe environment".

One of the Sedins says they interviewed Gold and Johnson and chose Johnson.
