Overview
- The team confirmed Friday that Allvin was relieved of his duties, one day after a 6-1 season-ending loss in Edmonton.
- Rutherford said he accepts responsibility for the failure and will let the next GM decide on coach Adam Foote, while calling AHL executive Ryan Johnson a "very good" candidate.
- Vancouver finished 25-49-8, allowed a league‑high 314 goals, and ranked near the bottom in scoring, reinforcing a pivot to a rebuild.
- Allvin, hired in January 2022, delivered one playoff appearance and a 2023-24 Pacific Division title before the team’s steep decline.
- Rutherford said the club knew Quinn Hughes would not re-sign, which led to December’s trade to Minnesota for Marco Rossi, Liam Öhgren, Zeev Buium and a 2026 first-round pick, as Vancouver now holds the best odds for the No. 1 draft pick.
