Report: Canucks are searching for a new head coach, were granted permission to speak with Claude Julien

“Don’t guesstimate on a timeline, because there is no set timeline. I think the Canucks have considered some things. They had permission to talk to Claude Julien — they thought about it — I don’t think they’re going down that road. They talked about Scott Walker as head coach, who formerly was in their organization, and works with the Guelph Storm, but I don’t believe they’re going down that road either. I think they are considering some options about what they might do. But I’ve been told that nothing long-term will be done until they are convinced they have the right person or people for those spots. So again, I’m told don’t guess on a timeline, because they’re not rushing to do anything permanent.”
