Major changes reportedly coming to Vancouver Canucks management in the new year

A new report this week has revealed when changes could be coming to the Vancouver Canucks' management group after a poor start to the NHL's 2025-26 season.
The 2025-26 season hasn't gone as the Vancouver Canucks were expecting with Adam Foote's group sitting dead last in the National Hockey League's standings with a 10-15-3 record through 28 games.
Due to the team's poor start, the club is exploring trade options for several players on their roster, most notably all of their pending unrestricted free agents including Kiefer Sherwood, but it appears that some changes could be coming on the management side of things for the Vancouver Canucks.
"My big question is, are you gonna let this management team do the big cuts? I had someone from another team...that said they had heard some rumblings that potentially wholesale changes...management, scouting...could be coming." Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects said recently.
New report reveals when changes could be coming to Vancouver Canucks management
In a recent article for Maple Ridge News, Bob «The Moj» Marjanovich shared that he's hearing changes may be coming to the Vancouver Canucks' management group as early as the end of December, if the team's continues to their current slide, with just two wins in their last 12 games.
"I'm hearing that if this slide continues, you could see some changes within the team's management group after Christmas." Marjanovich said.
If the Vancouver Canucks were to fire Jim Rutherford and/or Patrik Allvin at some point during the season, it wouldn't come as much of a surprise given how the club has performed during their tenure in the Lower Mainland.
The duo are currently in their fourth full season, fifth in total, with the Vancouver Canucks and only have one appearance in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to show for it and whether it's going to be a full-on rebuild or retool, it's safe to say that fans of this club would rather a different management group handle that.
We'll have to wait and see what the coming weeks have in store for the Vancouver Canucks, both on and off the ice, but a big change is needed for this organization and the first domino to fall might be in the front office.
