His NHL record is not good, but he was coach right at the beginning of the Canucks rebuild, first year was Sedins last year. The bubble run looks a bit flukey. He did play the young players though, but you are talking about Petterson, Boeser and Hughes, 3 Calder trophy winning prospects that even Darryl would have played; that is quite different than playing non blue-chip prospects like Pelletier, Phillips, Zary, etc.

His last year in Vancouver was disastrous.

It would be really fitting to carry on the tradition of the "Calgary Canucks" though.

This site sure wanted him as coach when he was first available.
