Vancouver Canucks Fire GM Patrik Allvin

0:00On April 17th, Vancouver Canucks just dropped a bombshell, firing their general manager, Patrick Alvin, right after the season wrapped up. The team made it official on Friday, following a rough 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers the night before. Swedish outlet Afton Blatt had broke the news first, and T.S. and Insiders Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBron backed it up quick. Alvin took over in January 2022 and stuck around for parts of five seasons. This year was brutal though, with the Canucks scraping together just 58 points in the regular season, their lowest in a full campaign since, 1998-99. They only hit the playoffs once under him, bowing out in Game 7 of the second round to those same Oilers in 2024. He wasn't calling all the shots solo, reporting to President of hockey operations Jim Rutherford. Still, the team saw massive roster shakeups, including trading away stars like J.T., Miller and even Captain Quinn Hughes, which fueled the frustration among fans and brass alike.

Toronto's still hunting for a replacement after parting with Brad Treleving, New Jersey Devils, grabbed sunny meta on Thursday to succeed Tom. Fitzgerald, and Nashville Predators, need someone to step in after Barry Trott stepped down. Expect Vancouver to move fast on a higher amid this busy GM carousel.
