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.

Not to ruin the fun, but I think Linden was being asked a lot of questions that the media knew he couldn't answer. That, and Linden is as well spoken as a hockey player not as a lawyer. Darryl was horrible at interviews, but knew his job and did it well.
However I like that he's sticking with the core...... that part is good news.
