Overview
- The Vancouver Canucks announced on Friday that Cammi Granato will move from assistant general manager to the newly created title of senior amateur advisor ahead of the 2026–27 season.
- Granato said she reflected on her role and chose the move to focus on amateur scouting and development, and GM Ryan Johnson said the club supports the transition and values her relationships with the amateur staff.
- Local outlets reported the reassignment effectively reduces the number of assistant general managers in Vancouver’s front office, a shift that follows recent offseason hires including Emilie Castonguay and Richard Seeley.
- Granato joined the Canucks as an assistant GM in February 2022 after serving as a Vancouver-based pro scout for the Seattle Kraken and is widely known for her Hall of Fame playing career and leadership in women’s hockey.
- The change keeps Granato in the organization while concentrating her work on the prospect pipeline, a move that could sharpen the Canucks’ draft and development focus and reshape executive duties to watch this season.
