Vancouver Canucks fire general manager Patrik Allvin after 32nd-place finish: Sources

The Vancouver Canucks relieved general manager Patrik Allvin of his duties, ending his run with the club after three and a half seasons, team and league sources have confirmed. Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet was first to report the news.A career amateur scout and a longtime Jim Rutherford lieutenant dating back to their shared time with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Allvin’s role had seemed diminished throughout a catastrophic Canucks season during which the club sagged to the bottom of the NHL standings following a blockbuster trade that sent Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild for a bundle of young players and future assets.Advertisement
