NHL-Worst Vancouver Canucks Fire General Manager Patrik Allvin

On Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks relieved general manager Patrik Allvin of his duties following the 2025-26 regular season, a move Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet first reported Friday.
Hired by team president Jim Rutherford on January 26, 2022, Allvin presided over three non-playoff seasons in four years, failing to build a consistent contender.
Vancouver finished last in the NHL standings with a 25-49-8 record this season, including a 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday, totaling the league's fewest points.
The incoming general manager must determine the future of head coach Adam Foote, who struggled in his first season, while uncertainty surrounds forward Elias Pettersson's status.
Seeking a full rebuild, the front office looks toward the 2026 NHL draft lottery, hoping to select collegiate prospect Gavin McKenna, widely expected to be the NHL's next superstar.
