Does anywhere out there know the real reason why this guy has not been able to get back to the nhl level? I have heard plenty of rumors and Don Cherry called him a 'GM Killer'. The Canucks are still without a coach and I haven't heard his name mentioned.

I have heard a number of things:

- He was accused of not being able to get along with John Muckler and and Dominik Hasek.

- He turned down the Sabres one year offer.

- He was offered a job by Tampa GM Phil Esposito but turned it down because he didn't want to move his family.

- He sat and sulked instead of looking for a job in the AHL, CHL, etc. He expected another job in the NHL right away.

-His reasons for being blackballed by the league is because he is 'different'. (basically calling the league racist)

If I were the Canucks, I would stay away from Nolan.

Its official - he is back in the league. Maybe now we can finally put an end to the racism bs that he has been spouting off about all these years. I can guarantee he will not do with the Islanders what he did in Buffalo. A team led by Yashin will never win anything.
