GMMG's interview on Team 1040 today was lit af https://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1...saga-1.1189506
- all but onfirmed AQ hired Torts
- Weber being traded to Van was discussed to the point where he had a meeting with him at his home in Kelowna
- wanted to rebuild after 2012 by trading assets until "things intervened"
This was a fantastic listen to get into the mind of the most successful GM we've had.

articulate, precise, pragmatic, well thought out, recognizes his mistakes.
what a difference from the current incompetence we've been cursed with.
at least the casuals are happy.

its funny how when he said Torts didn't work that basically got him fired. The interview shows how much of a tool AQ actually is as an owner. I really liked when he said the biggest mistake he made was not changing the scouting staff which we have been saying for years.

This called called Aquaman "Aqualooney" and I love it.

I really liked when he said the biggest mistake he made was not changing the scouting staff which we have been saying for years. | There was a definite shift in drafting patterns with MG near the end, but it was too late by then as he admitted.
Of note, Benning and Linden both heavily criticized Gillis’ unorthodox approaches when they initially took over and have since introduced similar policies (most recent being the video game ban on the road; MG & co’s human performance plan wouldn’t allow players to go for beers after a game, for example).

He's actually a professor at UVic teaching law, so it's not like he's hurting for money. He said at the end of the interview that he knows Seattle will be looking for a GM and he'd be interested if they were to pursue him. Quote:

You don't visit a player at their home unless trade talks were progressing really well. It sucks, because he said how Shea really liked the things and pieces the Canucks (at that time) had in place. They had great dialogue and the pieces in place to potentially make a trade for his rights, but only lost out after Weber got that massive deal from Nashville. Imagine a Canucks blue line with an actual #1 defenseman. I think we'd be singing a different tune if that was the case.

^pretty sure Flyers gave him that contract and Nashville had to match it.
Anyways I always loved GMMG, his resume speaks for itself and there ain't no other Canuck GM in history that has the same achievements as he has. How he and Gilman worked around the cap was astounding. There were some bad moves he made, not signing Ehrhoff, letting Torres walk, not getting enough for Hodgson. But anyways if he was still with the team, we would never would.of spent almost 8mil on Roussel, Beagle, n Schaller. Would be saving that money to try and land a big fish like Bobrovski next year

In a perfect world, GMMG would be our GM and Benning would be the Asst GM and in charge of scouting...

I always respected how he came in and did all the little things that he knew players wanted to come to a market that was otherwise unattractive... putting in luxury features and making safety changes to the boards/glass at Rogers... he made this place one that players wanted to come to.

Gilman = Assistant GM aka 'capologist'
Benning = Assistant to the Assistant GM
Judd Bracket = Director of Amateur Scouting
Bracket is a stud in terms of viewing prospect so I don't think I'd give him up for GMJB
