Who Do U Want to See as Next GM of the Nucks?

[Todd Bersnoozi]

OK, things are starting to heat up, so let's hear it. Who do you want to see as the next General Manager of your Vancouver Canucks?

[Carl Yagro]

Some other dood

Of course I had to choose that.

[Megaterio Llamas]

That other dood wins hands down.

Who you got Snoozer?

For the 4th or 5th time Evan Gold.....

...the 2025-26 Providence Bruins finished the regular season with a stellar 54-16-2-0 record, securing the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as the AHL regular-season champions with 110 points. They posted a .750 points percentage, ranking first in the Atlantic Division and securing a first-round bye in the Calder Cup Playoffs

24/25 41-23-8
23/24 42-21-6
22/23 44-18-8

....but AIG has likely never heard of him.

Probably end up a fucking Leave.

[JelloPuddingPop]

Not enough good nicknames to choose anything other than some other dood.

[donlever]

Getzlaf s/b on the list.

[Cousin Strawberry]

I wanna keep Bald Jovial

[Picker of Cherries]

Why isn’t Picker of Cherries on the list?
I’m some other dood, and if you ask me, better than anyone listed here.

[rats19]

If that’s our choices… we are way fuckter than fucked

Who you got Snoozer?

If it were my call, I would go with our Nuck alumni, Bergy (Marc Bergevin). I really liked his work with the Habs and was surprised he got canned shortly after he got them to the Bubble finals, slow start. He's not afraid to make deals and I like the way he builds his teams, big doods/horses on his D core that are built for the playoffs. KInda similar to Tocc in that regard.

Off the top of my head, some of his moves:
- Traded PK Subban for S.Weber. At the time, I thought it was a bad move, but think they came out on the better end. Subban was a charismatic/dynamic D-man, but quickly faded. Weber was as steady as they come and could solidify a D-core and he was key to help them reach the finals.
- Traded aging star Pacioretty for N.Suzuki (hwy robbery)
- Didn't match the Canes in the Kotkaniemi offer sheet.
- Found the Costco kid, Arber Xhekaj from nowhere. He's one dood I would luv see a Nuck.
- One move he would prob like to have back, great pick in drafting Sergachev, but traded him for a highly touted French kid, J.Drouin.

He also has a scouting background, which would be a great fit for our rebuild. I don't mind RJ for our backup pick and promote within, but Bergevin would be my top choice. The only thing is, I think he's a bit of a personality and wouldn't want someone telling him what to do (ahem Aquas). He won't be a pushover like JB & Patty A. That could be the mean reason why ownership might go with a different dood.

Thanks Todd. Adams, Johnston, or Bergevin for me. Though I did vote for some other dusde, since none of these choices get me very excited.

Rob Blake would be tragic. I do think Peter Chiarelli would probably do a decent job, despite all the flak he gets for his Edmonton experience.

I'm still thinking ahout it at this point.

[Megaterio Llamas]

I'm hearing that Mr Aquilini will be making the call, not Rutherford. As much as I don't teust Rutherford, this is bad news, if true.

[Cousin Strawberry]

The best would be if francisco announced he would step in himself as prez and gm. Why pretend? Just step in there

[Meds]

Show JR and Cammie the door.

POHO: Mike Gillis
GM: Bergevin
AGM: Pronger or Getzlaf
AGM: RJ
AGM: Emilie (contracts/capologist)

I like Bergevin for the same reasons as ‘Snoozi.

As Donny mentions, Evan Gold, should be on that list, I don’t know enough about him, and we tried a former Beantown secondary executive and it didn’t work. Lol.

On Gillis, he may have left the cupboards bare and drafted like a meathead, but his vision for a team was good. He was big on some stuff (like fatigue, recovery, human performance, and analytics) that he gets shit on for around here at times, but when he was doing that stuff as GM, nobody else in the league was…..now everyone is.

During his tenure Vancouver was a player destination, our team medical and training staff were well respected. Our coaching staff and team culture was really good. Just a little bit pussified…..but that had more to do with the Sedins and AV than GMMG.

As POHO he sets those directions, but leaves the GM to walk them out with the AGMs, and also to construct the team and handle the scouts and drafting.

Its posts like that, that make me miss Blobby and Dude the most.
