So...listening in to H&B this am... It appears the secretive nature of the Ian Clark reassignment is due to a rift with management and he's on his way out. Rumours that he overworked demko in practice led to this injury are what's being mentioned.

For fucks sake

A guy with his track record with goalies is not let go because of one case of over-working a player - no matter how secretive or low-key the means. Maybe he did go a little Tikhonov with the goalies, and maybe it did contribute to Demko's injury. All we have is conjecture and rumor.

I would just be happy that he's still with the organization, even if he's not on the ice with the goalies all the time. His presence in the organization coincides with some of the best stretches of goaltending the team has ever had. If Torenius can maintain that run while the club still has Clark as the goalie bird-dog, then I don't see how this has odour to it.

More likely some click-bait shit-flinging.

I agree Lancer, plus we don't know how bad Clark's knee & shoulder injuries are. If they are bad enough that he requested another off ice position, it could be that he needs surgeries asap.

I wonder if there was concern over losing Torenius whose resume includes developing the likes of Shesterkin and Silvos, not to mention the high praise Lankinen had for him saying that he is one of the best goalie coaches in the world....

Not sure how having 2 highly respected and accomplished coaches working with 4 or 5 goalies can work out long term...

Take care...

Assistant coaches bounce around quite a bit. Clark was here before Melanson. Then he was here after Melanson. Maybe actually having a decent athlete between the pipes contributes to having good goaltending.

Sometimes a change of scenery is required for everyone once in awhile. Sounds like Clark and the Canucks need to move on from each other

It started out as he couldn't physically do the job he once did as far as getting on the ice due to a couple of surgeries. Now it's morphed into this massive rift between him and management according to the local meat puppets in the media. These parasites like to start shit when they need a pipe wrench and a coat hanger to unlock a bowel. It's truly a pretty scummy bunch that we have been treated to. I'll pass judgment if and when he lands in a roll with another team. This team needs to have another good year and get the rubber to the road. Momentum is so key. The media and certain fans are licking their lips and hoping the team shits the bed so they can be right.

From what I have been told it started because he wanted to keep all the responsibilities as before but no ice time. Canucks were fine that he could no longer go on the ice but wanted to morph his role more into scouting, with a lesser role. I admit I don’t know all his role entails but that seems to be more the dispute.

The club signed Allriksson to an ELC. Guess he showed them enough to make it worth the investment. Apparently the staff were impressed with how hard he worked on the things they told him to work on over the past year. We’ll see what he turns into in a couple years’ time.

With the signing of the big Swede, the Canucks now have 49 of a max 50 allowable contracts. GM’s don’t typically like to hover this close to the limit, I wonder if Allvin is planning to move a contract soon.

I think players in CHL who are not overage are exempt from the 50.

Absent having a player taken through waivers, I think the Canucks may try to move one of the extra not-really-prospect defensive depth. For future considerations stuff.

This was my thought too.

Another thing, let’s suppose Hillrose is in fact injured and must go on IR. Seeing as he cannot be sent to the farm while injured, how does this not make Allvin’s life even more complicated managing the roster/cap space to avoid season starting LTIR?
