Big news came out today in the NHL, with Barry Trotz stepping down as the general manager of the Nashville Predators, the news indicates that Patrick Allvin and Jim Rutherford should consider doing the same, since the Vancouver Canucks are doing egregiously worse than the Predators.

In just three short years the Canucks went from being a potential contender and threat in the west, to the laughing stock of the NHL.
"Ryan Cuneo of the Daily Faceoff reported on whether the Canucks have the right men for the job when it comes to doing this rebuild. Both Allvin and Rutherford have failed miserably with the current team they built, and many are doubting if they can get themselves out of this hole they have created."-Stinson

Patrick Allvin and Jim Rutherford's days are numbered.

Taj on X posted his reaction to the news on X, saying it is only Rutherford who should consider leaving the team, but this disaster has been a two man plan, and Allvin should also follow in his footsteps. In their tenure they have traded two captains away, including one of the best defensemen in the NHL, who couldn't stand playing for the organization, and traded J.T. Miller for a terrible return.
Jim Rutherford needs to follow his lead
Miller had to go, in all fairness to the two of them, but the return for someone has hit the 100 point mark before was unacceptable. They also traded Bo Horvat away, who is now having the best season of his career for the New York Islanders. And to top it off, trading your franchise player in Quinn Hughes, because he was miserable with the Canucks, and visibly didn't want to play there anymore. It's time for both Allvin and Rutherford to take a look in the mirror, and realize that their time is done in Vancouver.
