Daniel and Henrik Sedin were named co-presidents of hockey operations, putting the Hall of Fame twins atop a Vancouver front-office overhaul.
The shake-up follows the firing of general manager Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford’s planned exit after the upcoming NHL Draft; assistant GM Ryan Johnson was promoted to general manager.
The brothers retired in 2018 after 17 NHL seasons, all with Vancouver, and joined the club’s front office the following year.
Vancouver’s new leadership inherits a team that slid after its 2024 playoff rise and dealt franchise cornerstone Quinn Hughes to Minnesota.
The first major test comes in June, when the Canucks hold the No. 3 draft pick behind Toronto and San Jose and can start rebuilding the roster.
Can the legendary Sedin twins finally break Vancouver's cycle of impatience and failed rebuilds?
With the third pick, will the new leadership draft the best player available or the defenseman they desperately need?
