From everything he said, and from his answers to questions, it seems pretty clear that the plan moving forward is to continue to supplement the existing core, and to get back to whatever it was that made them successful in 2010–11. Linden mentioned a few times that the team was constructed to play a certain style, and alluded to problems with the coaching, noting that the plan is to return to an "exciting style" of play that proceeds from their strengths.
This all sounded like very good news to me as a Flames fan. But were I a fan of the Canucks, I would be really concerned.

Well Linden is 43. There is often a big difference between being in your late 20s early 30s and 43. I think its too early for Canucks fans to be concerned. It sounds like Linden is looking for a good talent evaluator who can run the show. The President doesnt need to make it his team where he is going to have the final say in everything. He can hire a GM who he lets run the team with close to full autonomy.
