00:00The Canucks have fired head coach Adam Foote after one season.
00:03Boy, teams love to spend money on coaches fire.
00:06I'm like, hey, what's this?
00:08The bottom line, we have three coaches on payroll who are head coaches.
00:11Yeah, you fire him after one year.
00:13That's what happens.
00:13He's out.
00:14He's out for the Canucks, Joe.
00:17Again, who is doing the vetting here?
00:19Is it his fault?
00:20Like, I mean, who is doing the vet?
00:23Are you just randomly just picking dudes and be like, oh, you got the job?
00:26And then a year later, like, wow, he's really not any good at his job.
00:30Or is there a bigger problem here, Donnie, with some of these teams?
00:33Like, you keep hiring the wrong people, and you keep telling us you're hiring the wrong people
00:38by firing them and still paying them, Donnie.
00:42Keep going up the ladder.
00:43The people who need to go are not on the coaching level.
00:46They're the people actually hiring them.
00:49And the best part, like, this happens every day in business.
00:51Like, hey, we had a lot of people for the job.
00:53You hired somebody.
00:54It's like a week.
00:54It's like, I don't know if this is going to work out.
00:56Well, if you let the guy go, you probably don't owe him any more on a salary because
01:00he's probably hourly or just had a yearly compensation that when you get fired, you get
01:03fired, you get your COBRA benefits, and you're out the door.
01:06But these coaches are like, okay, well, send my $10 million straight to my bank account
01:10tomorrow, and I'll get a job somewhere else.
01:12That's what makes it so hilarious.
01:13You're not like, hey, well, there's no money left on his contract.
01:16We're going to let him go.
01:16Like, no, there's millions of dollars left.
01:18Like, ah, mistake.
01:19Get out of town here.
01:20Oh, well, at this point.
01:21And by the way, talking about getting out of town, the wild general manager is basically
01:25telling us, Joe, anybody can be traded.
01:27Let's hear it.
01:30I'm going for you, Bailey.
01:32I'm looking ahead to trade talks this summer.
01:33How many players do you have that are untouchable?
01:45Nobody in this game is untouchable.
01:49Wayne Gretzky got traded.
01:51Anybody can get traded.
01:56Joe, what I take away from that, though, is a Russian winger named Kaprizov would like
02:02to play with Matve Michkoff in Philadelphia.
02:06That's what I took away.
02:07But they love those questions.
02:08Like, what was he supposed to say?
02:10Two.
02:10And then what's the reporter go?
02:11Can you name those two?
02:13Come on.
02:15The look, just the guy's face was priceless, man.
02:19The entire reaction.
02:20And then he drops.
02:22He had to think about it.
02:24They're like, listen, dude.
02:24Wayne Gretzky got traded.
02:26If Wayne Gretzky can get traded, and nobody is untouchable in this game.
02:32Outstanding answer.
02:33Look, I love those type of stories, too, because you're right about this.
02:36If you would have told me to get back in a time machine, the legendary son of Canada,
02:40Wayne Gretzky with the Edmonton Oilers, all they do is win Stanley Cups and got to be profitable.
02:45You know what?
02:46Business owner makes a bad business decision.
02:48I need money.
02:50I'm going to trade Wayne down to L.A.
02:51They're going to give me cash back, and a couple players will take it.
02:54Nobody would have ever thought that would have happened.
02:56But it did.
02:56And he's right about that.
02:57Nobody's untradable.
