Dhaliwal: Canucks relationship with Ian Clark has gone sour. Their relationship has gone in a wrong direction. Lots of things are in play here one is here is demotion of goalie scout. He (Ian Clark) requested to be director of goaltending but was denied by Rutherford and co.
Don’t really love that, hope we doing more to not lose him

Might be the first Benning-esque mistake by this crew

Fuck, just… fuck. Goaltending development was one thing we got right around here before the regime showed up and JR never really had.

just to be clear, was he asking that the organization create a position for him? Was he asking to take somebody else’s role? I asked because it feels like having a Director of goaltending is a relatively new move some teams are doing

Nobody’s bigger than the team.

It’s funny.
Benning was a dman himself. Hot mess on defense as GM.
Rutherford was a goalie himself. Can’t stay away from a dramatic goalie story. Cam Ward, losing MAF to Vegas, and now this.

Meh, Rutherford has been an executive in this league for a long ass time and has the results to back it up. If Ian Clark is not their guy, then I’m sure there’s a very good reason for it. And honestly, I’m sick of this fanbase treating Clark like he’s some kinda divine deity.

He’s all but gone right? Usually if reports come out that the relationship has deteriorated this much, it’s too far gone.

If his strength is being an on ice goalie coach and he can no longer do that, he loses a lot of job security.

Trust the process.

Yep. Everyone here praising Clark like they value nothing prospects.

I remember Demko signing for 5 years so it matched Clarks contract, so who knows what will he do if Clark would not be in org

He’s 58 and been doing it in the NHL for years, I belive he came back to Vancouver (his hometown) to wind down his career, if this is the end of the relationship I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires.

Oh well. If he truly didn’t want to be on the ice anymore teaching the goalies then who cares.
PauloVersa
Oh boy, that’s not good

This has to be the biggest L of this regime so far, no?
Tracktoy
I’m starting to wonder if the relationship has soured with Demko himself, or at least with Managment due to Demkos injuries.
Otherwise, from the outside this seems really really dumb.
