Welcome to lame duck season.
We have discussed on the Power Of The Towel podcast before about the “lame duck season” the Vancouver Canucks are currently going through.
You have a head coach in Travis Green who is not under contract after this season, and as each day passes it looks ever more likely that he will test the market.
You also have a general manager in Jim Benning who has an ax hanging over his neck, with ownership having to approve nearly every move and (in my opinion) better than 50/50 chance he will not be here next season.
