Why the Vancouver Canucks’ Next Move Could Make or Break Their Future Forever
The Vancouver Canucks are heading toward another rebuild, not the “hybrid retool” GM Patrik Allvin discussed after the team traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild. Even before Allvin came out on Prime Hockey Monday Night, President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford had mentioned the word rebuild not once, not twice, but multiple times, leading up to the Hughes trade and even after it.
Last year, in an interview with the Globe and Mail, Rutherford mentioned how if the Canucks had to rebuild, Quinn Hughes would be gone. That Hughes trade signalled the rebuild was on in Vancouver. Despite having veteran players signed to long-term deals with trade protection, the direction was to rebuild and have sustained success as they did when Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin were there.
