Canucks fire GM Allvin — The Fourth Period
The Vancouver Canucks have fired General Manager Patrik Allvin, TFP has confirmed.
The news was first reported overnight by Swedish media outlet Aftonbladet.
“I would like to thank Patrik for all his hard work over the past four seasons,” said Canucks President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford. “Under his guidance we have accumulated a lot of good young talent, and he has helped us lay the foundation of our rebuild.
“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 named the 12th GM in franchise history on January 26, 2022. Since arriving in Vancouver, Allvin has led the Canucks to a Pacific Division title and their first playoff appearance and series victory since the 2019-20 season.
Prior to his time in Vancouver, Allvin spent 16 seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins in multiple roles, winning three Stanley Cups during his time with the Penguins organization. He began his managerial and scouting career as a European Scout with the Montreal Canadiens in 2002.
