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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move isn\u2019t completely unexpected, as <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/canucks-could-have-new-general-manager-next-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sportsnet\u2019s Nick Kypreos said on March 30<\/a> that Allvin himself didn\u2019t expect to survive beyond this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyhive.com\/vancouver\/patrik-allvin-job-canucks-gm-might-be-safe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mixed reports have surfaced since then<\/a>, including the assertion that the organization had not yet made any decision on changes in management and the coaching staff.<\/p>\n<p>The Canucks have called a press conference for noon at Rogers Arena, where Rutherford will speak.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"rutherford allvin canucks youtube\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2251706\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rutherford-allvin-canucks-youtube.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2251706\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rutherford hired Allvin on Jan. 26, 2022 (Canucks\/YouTube)<\/p>\n<p>Hired by the Canucks on Jan. 26, 2022, Allvin helped the team make the playoffs just once in four seasons. While the Canucks had a season to remember in 2023-24, the franchise has taken a nosedive ever since.<\/p>\n<p>That culminated in a hellish 2025-26 season, which saw the Canucks sink to last place in the NHL standings with a 25-49-8 record. The Canucks posted the third-worst points percentage (.354) in franchise history this season, equalling the mark set by the Messier-era team in 1998-99. The only two Canucks seasons with worse points percentages were from their expansion era, in 1971-72 and 1972-73.<\/p>\n<p>Changes could extend beyond the general manager.
