The Vancouver Canucks have fired their general manager, Patrik Allvin, after a rough season in which the team came in last in the league.
“I would like to thank Patrik for all his hard work over the past four seasons,” said the team’s president of hockey operations, Jim Rutherford, in a news release Friday morning.
“This season was disappointing for everyone in the organization, and we understand how frustrating it was for those who care about the team. Moving forward our goal will be to continue to bring in younger players who can grow together with our current group and form our next competitive core.”
Allvin was hired as GM in January 2022.
Rutherford will hold a news conference at noon on Friday.
