Someone also posted that Doan is being interviewed as VP of Hockey opps with the understanding as soon as grandpa steps away he is elevated to POHO.

Has Dorion swooped in at the eleventh hour regaling Mr Aquilini with tales of a hybrid retool on the fly to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

I don't like it!

Socials are already saying public rejection of Dorian is putting his role in the grey zone.

Aqualung governing by public opinion.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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

If he keeps looking for guys to tell him what he wants to hear as opposed to being open minded and listening to voices of experience then Dorian is the perfect candidate.

Biggest skill in the Toronto and likely Vancouver GM hirings is the ability to pander to ownership.

Did Gold and Bowness get in person interviews because the Geriatric enjoyed being raped by them?

Late last week, the Canucks’ prospective general manager list reached a dozen candidates.

So far, only two of those external candidates (not including Dorion) have received in-person interviews.

Evan Gold (Boston Bruins assistant general manager) and Ryan Bowness (New York Islanders assistant general manager) impressed Canucks brass enough to get in-person meetings, according to Elliotte Friedman.

Of the two, Gold comes across as the more forward-thinking option of the two.

The Bruins current AGM comes from a legal background, and his specialty with the Bruins has been “salary cap analysis, contract negotiations, roster planning, player salary arbitration, CBA compliance, and pro scouting,” according to their website.

Prior to joining the Bruins organization in 2015, Gold spent eight years with the Washington Capitals, specializing in salary cap analysis.

Under Gold, the Bruins have built a model AHL franchise, which Gold oversees. The Bruins have also managed to become a perennial playoff team despite a decent amount of roster turnover.

Music to Waternoodle's ears.

Alarm to ours (at least mine).

We need a ground up builder with a singular end goal.

Maybe he can do it, who the hell knows. I just pray the guy we choose is not another retread JB clone (not so subtle shot at who I might be referring to).

This could be promising.
