Green wasn’t given a new contract. He’s in that “lame duck” position.I think giving last year’s success he will have the season. Missing the playoffs would I would say make it unlikely he returns next year
Yep, the pressure is on. The Canucks can put all the 'spin' on it they want......but the fact Green still doesn't have a contract beyond this season means that if the Canucks stumble out of the gate, look out!
You thinking if the Canucks struggle that both Green and Benning are fired?Up to Aquaman. He got burned by the Torts deal and to an extent the Gillis deal when he extended him a year out and then in 2013 seemed things shifted for whatever reason.
with Covid he will use that as the reason for not handing out an extension. I think the same would have been to Benning had his deal been expiring after this season.
Green has not been offered a contract because Aquilini wants to see how things go this season...and is finally aware of the ridiculous contracts Benning has given out and how they are restricting the development of the Club. If things do not go well, Benning will be fired and a new GM will want to bring in their own coach. Not having Green signed makes this easy (and, of course, the new GM could choose to keep Green as Gillis did with AV).He isn’t going to get fired in a weird season. It’s not like the Canucks are losing revenue if they lose games.
He will get a 4 year extension book it.
How many more years on Benning? He was in the same spot as Green last off season right? So this is year one of any extension. Be it 2-3 years.You thinking if the Canucks struggle that both Green and Benning are fired?
what a terrible thread. Imagine a fan posting this thread before game one, after a good season, Sad.
If his future was so secure, why hasn't he been re-signed? It's an odd situation for a coach to be in, especially one who took the team to the 2nd round of the playoffs.
This is indeed a really poor thread. Green is an up and coming coach respected around the league whose stock is growing.
The only reason he isnt signed yet is purely economic. The Aquilinis are being careful with the payroll while they are losing big money during the pandemic. Nothing to see here.
