“Was the Entire GM Search Fake?” Explosive Report Suggests Vancouver Already Had Their Pick All Along

The buzz about the Vancouver Canucks started up again on Sunday, and local fans quickly began sharing some interesting news.

Dominic Tiano reported that there are rumors saying the Canucks might hire Evan Gold. However, he also mentioned that this isn’t official yet.

Jimmy Murphy added to the story later that same day. He indicated that things are very close, but nothing has been signed yet.

That’s all the confirmed details we have so far. We have two sources saying the same thing, but there hasn’t been any formal announcement.

The bigger picture is what Vancouver is facing with this decision. The Canucks finished last in the league with a record of 25 wins, 49 losses, and 8 overtime losses for a total of 58 points.

Adam Foote’s first year as coach ended without his team making it to the playoffs. They scored 216 goals but allowed 316, resulting in a goal difference of negative 100.

Allvin’s management team is planning to make major changes over the summer.

Vancouver lost 7 out of their last 10 regular season games. Their record in those last 10 games was 4 wins and 6 losses, leaving them with a 6-point gap between them and the bottom.

Elias Pettersson’s season with 51 points is still on everyone’s mind. The trade rumor involving Brian Burke hasn’t disappeared either. The hefty cap hit of 11.6 million for the top six players remains unchanged.

You can’t fix everything with just one new addition to the management team. However, teams in situations like this tend to announce changes in waves, and the first change often hints at what else is coming.

Rogers Arena had a poor record of 9 wins, 27 losses, and 5 overtime losses this season. The home crowd witnessed the worst performance at home in the entire league.

This is the kind of atmosphere that a new hire will face. There will be pressure from day one, no recent playoff excitement, and a fan base that has been very patient for three summers in a row.

If Murphy and Tiano are correct, Vancouver could announce a name by the middle of the week. If not, this rumor will just become another one that didn’t hold up.

No matter what, the Canucks need to change their approach this summer. The results from last year show that they can’t keep doing things the same way.
