100% this is all Francesco. Management hasn't even been around long enough to generate any real criticism. The team has actually improved under them. So they can't be upset. It's the cry baby owner.

Well, good on those gentlemen for discussing this and sticking it to management. They both just got cooler in my books, and I already liked them.

I don't want to come across as a conspiracy theorist. I have no evidence for this. But the Canucks' head of PR (Craig Macewen) is also the guy who used SN650 as a platform to get hired by the Canucks by turning the station into basically another branch of the Canucks' PR department: https://media.canucks.com/media-services/communications-staff

The guy for years has attempted to control what is said about the Canucks. If that's part of his mandate, shutting down CDC makes a ton of sense.
