The Vancouver Canucks are making significant front office changes with Daniel and Henrik Sedin stepping in as co-presidents of hockey operations, and Ryan Johnson taking the role of general manager. Under Johnson's leadership, he has stated there are no untouchable players on the roster, indicating a willingness to evaluate all personnel options as the team seeks to rebuild and improve its competitive standing.

This comes after the Canucks secured the 24th overall pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, a strategic opportunity to bolster their roster amid plans to rejuvenate community relations and foster a positive environment for players like Elias Pettersson, whose future with the team remains a topic of speculation.

The Sedins are also focusing on restoring the franchise's connection with the community, emphasizing the importance of engaging with fans and improving the team's image after a period of decline in community involvement.

Their approach aims to revitalize pride in being a Canucks fan and ensure a stronger bond between the team and its supporters.
