The Canucks have hired agent Daren Hermiston who lives in Kamloops.

Something along the lines of director of player development and player performance.

The Canucks have talked with other agents as well for openings.

Big news came out of Detroit this afternoon as #LGRW captain Dylan Larkin has reportedly requested a trade.

The #Canucks and #SeaKraken could be exploring a trade of sorts involving their hockey operations staff, according to a report from @FriedgeHNIC.

#Canucks head coach Manny Malhotra will meet with the media tomorrow at approximately 11am

[Marcus Yu @LWOSMarcusYu]

Next on the #Canucks offseason analysis series will be exploring potential trades. First on the list is Jake DeBrusk, who looks to be out of place on a team looking to get younger.

Why DeBrusk is the odd man out with @LastWordOnPuck @lastwordonsport ⬇️

Count me surprised that there were nine goals scored in Game 1. Thought there would be nine goals in the entire series.

WELCOME COACH MANNY!

General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have hired Manny Malhotra as the 23rd Head Coach in franchise history.

[Frank Seravalli @frank_seravalli]

Sources say #Canucks have a deal in place to make Manny Malhotra the 23rd head coach in franchise history.

Zero surprise, the Canucks’ Calder Cup winner isn’t going anywhere. He’s won with Johnson and was a teammate of the Sedins.

Announcement and timing TBD.

Next up on our offseason #Canucks analysis series, the forward position. Improving culture by adding grit and veteran leadership is a must.

@schafer_von @LastWordOnPuck @lastwordonsport That would work. We’ll see if the new management will decide to take on bad contracts unlike the previous regime.

[Marcus Yu @LWOSMarcusYu]

As we look forward to next season, one thing the #Canucks need to look at is their goaltending. Particularly, a three goalie rotation.

@schafer_von @LastWordOnPuck @lastwordonsport I feel like Tolo would get picked up. Could be a serviceable NHL backup at this point.

I do wonder what the timeline is for Demko. I would think he’d be ready for training camp but no problem if he takes his time coming back.

[Marcus Yu @LWOSMarcusYu]

@schafer_von @LastWordOnPuck @lastwordonsport That is bold and interesting. You have to play Tolopilo though in my opinion because he’s not eligible for waivers.

#ForgedInGold has completed the sweep, finishing off the #GoAvsGo in convincing fashion. It felt like a slow and painful death for Colorado.

[Marcus Yu @LWOSMarcusYu]

Vegas has a 3-0 series lead in the Conference Finals on the heels of a comeback win against the reeling Avs. Could injuries have ended Colorado’s season?
