Vancouver Canucks name Penguins AGM Patrik Allvin general manager
CTV
The Vancouver Canucks have named a new general manager weeks after the club fired head coach Travis Green, general manager Jim Benning and several other front-office staff.
The Vancouver Canucks have filled their vacant general manager position, hiring Pittsburgh Penguins assistant manger Patrik Allvin.
The three-time Stanley Cup winner becomes the 12th general manager in the franchise's history.
Allvin, 47, has been with the Penguins for the past 16 seasons and was the director of amateur scouting before he was promoted to assistant GM in November 2020.
“He is intelligent, works hard, makes strong decisions and I believe he will help us build a winning team in Vancouver,” Canucks president of Hockey Operations said in a statement.
The move to Vancouver will reunite Allvin with Rutherford, who served as Pittsburgh's GM from 2014 to 2021 and led the team to back-to-back Stanley Cups in 2016 and '17.
Rutherford was named the Canucks president of hockey operations and interim GM in early December after the club fired head coach Travis Green, general manager Jim Benning and several other front-office staff.
Allvin, from Leksand, Sweden, spent nine years playing professional hockey in North America and Europe before breaking into scouting with the Montreal Canadiens in 2002.
