Canucks GM Patrik Allvin is about the involvement of Quinn Hughes, hiring new HC Adam Foote to replace Rick Tocchet

The Vancouver Canucks have officially hired Adam Foote as their next coach, although Quinn Hughes reportedly was not involved. The team navigated the loss of Rick Tocchet, which set off a lucrative offer to enter the coaching -free agency, by hiring one of his assistants whose contract was used up.

Foote was briefly on the market as an option, because he was a bank coach in Vancouver who had received permission to talk to other teams. Eventually he returned to the Canucks, this time as head coach.

GM Patrik Allvin hired Foote without any input from Star Player Hughes.

“It’s not about one player. It’s about the team,” he said.

Hughes is perhaps the most important player on the Roster, but his future is not exactly guaranteed, and he is just one of the many players in a selection. As a result, Allvin did not bring him into the process.

The Canucks have passed the future of Hughes through the long -term of Hughes by the team. There are rumors that he could leave at the first chance he gets, and some believe that Foote’s recruitment was done to appease him.

Hughes has said in the past, via the hockey writers:

“I think Adam Foote is the best coach I’ve ever had.”

Nevertheless, Allvin denies the involvement of Hughes and he did not say that for whatever reason he hired the coach, but to bring the team back to the late season.

Quinn Hughes liked Adam Foote, and now Foote will be the next coach of the Vancouver Canucks. They were only a few weeks without a coach between the decision of Rick Tocchet and hiring Foote.

Said Allvin in a statement via Sportsnet:

“(Foote) has worked extremely hard in recent years and obtained the respect and trust of our player for his strong communication and honest simple opinion.”

He added:

“He knows this group better than anyone else we interviewed and has internal knowledge and understanding of what it takes to bring ourselves back to where we want to be.”

Foote becomes the 22nd coach in the franchise history and follows the man he once coached next to and under.
