Former Vancouver Canucks Center Officially Hired by Western Conference Rival After Announcing Retirement

Although the Vancouver Canucks themselves have not had the most successful offseason when it comes to finding the upgraded free-agents/trade targets they were hoping for, the same fate has not reached many of their former players.

This offseason alone, Nick Bonino retired and was quickly hired by the Pittsburgh Penguins as an Assistant Coach and on Wednesday, Brandon McMillan was appointed as the Kelowna Rockets' newest Assistant Coach.

Back in July, after 16 seasons of professional hockey, including 168 regular season games in the NHL and 16 Stanley Cup Playoff appearances, former Vancouver Canucks forward Zac Dalpe decided to hang up his skates for good.

Dalpe, who had a very short tenure with the Canucks, only playing one season back in 2013-14, has been given a major opportunity to Kraken next season as a player development consultant. Dalpe played 168 games in the NHL, with the majority of those games coming in Vancouver.

Although, Dalpe had som pretty memorable moments with the Canucks.

He scored a goal and an assist on January 26, 2014, against the Phoenix Coyotes, while scoring on the powerplay against the Dallas Stars on March 6, 2014.

Everyone here at Canucks Daily wishes Dalpe much success in this next chapter of his career.
