Curious to see what people think are the immediate benefits of hiring Daniel & Henrik Sedin. This is obviously their first front office gig, so they can’t rely on experience but I am curious to see what people think they will bring to our front office from Day 1. They will obviously grow and develop into their roles but a couple things I think they will add right away:
-
Better Media Management. As long time Captain/A’s they are used to dealing with the media in Vancouver and Henrik was always great at spinning things as glass half full. An area this front office could definitely improve.
-
Recruiting. Our ownership has developed a bit of a reputation that likely scares away A-Candidates. Henrik & Daniel have earned a lot of respect around the league, and with players from their era starting to step into front-office/coaching roles they may be able to help us land other up and comers.
-
Mentorship. Having these two as readily available resources for players like Petey, Bo, Hughes, Boeser, etc can’t be a bad thing.
What benefit’s do you think we’ll get from Daniel & Henrik from Day 1?
Hey guys I haven’t seen this idea floated around at all, but Henrik as PP coach would actually make a lot of sense. He was a key player one of the most dangerous power plays in the league for half a decade. This would allow for involvement with organization with limited front office time. Any thoughts?
Edit: Looks like we found our Canucks front office/ assistant coaches in this thread, someone let Benning know!
And if so will there be chances to upgrade there 90/91s or should I just sell them now
Battle of the Henriks. All very talented and successful careers. How would you rank them?
Last night I wrote a script to extract the scorer and assists from Henrik Sedin's 1070 career points.
Assists
Total - 830
Assists on Daniel Sedin Goals - 280 (of Daniel's 393 career goals)
Times Henrik and Daniel both assisted on the same goal - 317
Goals
Total - 240
Assisted by Daniel - 148
Assists on Goals, by Player
Daniel Sedin - 280
Alexandre Burrows - 72
Alexander Edler - 35
Markus Naslund - 27
Sami Salo - 27
Anson Carter - 26
Kevin Bieksa - 25
Ryan Kesler - 25
Jannik Hansen - 23
Radim Vrbata - 20
In total he had assists on goals by 85 different players. These are the most frequent recipients. Quite a few guys only had one - Aaron Rome, Ben Hutton, Byron Bitz, etc.

This means that the Canuck legends final career points on Daniels 22 OT winner assisted by Henrik 33 and Edler 23 for Daniels 2nd goal of the night and his 23rd of the season 2:33 into OT for his and Henriks 323rd point since 2012. The goal scored 33 seconds into the second period by Daniel from Henrik was their 322nd point. These guys.
