Canucks promote Ryan Johnson to GM, Sedin brothers to co-presidents
- On Thursday, the Vancouver Canucks promoted franchise legends Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin to Co-Presidents of Hockey Operations, naming Ryan Johnson as the 13th General Manager in franchise history.
- The leadership shakeup follows a disappointing 2025-26 season where Vancouver finished last in the NHL with a 25-49-8 record, prompting the April 17 firing of Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford's transition to an advisory role.
- Johnson, the 2025 Calder Cup winner as Abbotsford Canucks General Manager, will report to the Sedins, who hold 100 per cent autonomy on all team decisions.
- Regarding the team's future, Johnson confirmed they will take a strategic approach to rebuilding rather than rushing to become a top team, though the new leadership did not provide clarity on head coach Adam Foote's status.
- Prioritizing community involvement, the organization aims to return to standards set 26 years ago, and Henrik noted that a proposed practice rink deal is close to completion.
