Excellent recap Diane-Phaneuf, thanks so much!

I only hope the GM search doesn't overlap with our candidates. Wouldn't want too much competition for the right guy. Burke has stated previously that he would maybe want someone with little to no experience at this level (essentially so he can mould them), and I doubt that Linden would want to do the same since he's relatively inexperienced at running a club, so that will probably leave the two teams with different lists of guys. I wonder though if Burke will push to make his hire sooner rather than later with the axe potentially about to fall on a few other guys out there (Snow, Sather, McPhee, Cheveldayoff).

You would have to think that with our cap situation and prospect pool we would be more appealing for a GM long term, but if you wanted to step in and attempt to win a championship, Vancouver likely has the better situation to work with in the short term.
