Treliving would cost them too much to let go. Overall he's been fine. He has been terrible in some decisions though, coaching being one, so maybe they will change how one is selected? Involve others in the process. Maloney and Conroy with Treliving? Maybe bring an outsider in to the process?
And I don't think they necessarily need an experienced nhl coach. They just need a coach that is respected in the room and gives the guys a purpose. If that's an ex player coming up the coaching ranks, so be it. A strong personality with ability to lead should be more important than X and Os. Something I don't feel was high on priority list when they hired GG and Ward.
Ward is a bit awkward socially. Seems unsure of himself, his eyes are all over the place, clear signs of lack of confidence. I don't think players respect him and most importantly, they don't feel inspired.
Another change would be to improve the top line. They really dont have one right now. Is Tre up to the task? Hard to tell, he has whiffed on a few good Fs. He has to learn that you have to give to get. Cheaper is almost never better.
A guy like Travis Green would be nice. Are the Canucks ready to make a coaching change yet?
