Adam Foote in Talks to Join Utah Mammoth as Assistant Coach

Overview

• Multiple outlets report that CHEK’s Rick Dhaliwal said the Utah Mammoth and Adam Foote are “trying to get a deal done,” but no hire has been finalized and talks remain ongoing.
• Foote was relieved of his duties as Vancouver’s head coach in May after the club installed Ryan Johnson as general manager and named Henrik and Daniel Sedin co‑presidents.
• Foote’s candidacy is tied to his prior work with Mammoth coach André Tourigny during their time with the Colorado organization, a connection cited as a key reason Utah is interested.
• If the Mammoth hire Foote, standard NHL salary‑offset rules mean the Canucks would pay only the difference between Foote’s remaining Canucks salary and his new Mammoth salary.
• The reported talks come as part of wider regional staff movement, including former Canucks GM Patrik Allvin joining the Seattle Kraken, and signal ongoing turnover that will reshape coaching and front‑office roles.
