Comedy BRONZE out of Vancouver

[Cobiemonster]

Ken Campbell of The Hockey News reports that Nicholson is in negotiations to become the next president of the team, speaking with Francesco Aquilini, the chairman of the Canucks, about the position.

He also speculates that Trevor Linden, who was initially mentioned as the next president of the Canucks, would become his general manager.

Trevor Linden as GM is a scary proposition ... he's been out of the game for so long ... it would be easier for him to determine which cyclist at the Tour de france WASNT doping than which junior player could become an NHL'er

wouldnt make sense why he would want to take that. but I dont think that is the case, I think it will be just president at least thats what the birds say

So i guess Daivd Ebner is one of the reporters being sued

attaboy Frankie!!!



Much of the distancing revolves around the hiring of Mr. Tortorella, whose reputation as a firebrand and penchant to coach defensive hockey made him a controversial choice last year. On Monday, Francesco Aquilini sent a Globe and Mail reporter a text message warning of legal action after the newspaper published a story discussing the family’s involvement in the hiring.

“I read your article today. You are a prick,” it said. Two hours later, a legal letter from the family’s counsel arrived by e-mail. It alleged defamation, sought a retraction and an apology, and threatened further action.

“The facts are that while the Aquilinis supported the decision of the General Manager, the hiring decision was his and not theirs,” lawyer Howard Shapray of Vancouver-based Shapray Cramer Fitterman Lamer LLP wrote in the legal letter to The Globe.

This is approaching Melnyk levels of madness. Maybe even surpassing. LOL.
