The Vancouver Canucks are getting ready for what they hope will be a redemption season and today GM Patrik Allvin laid out the keys to success. The Vancouver Canucks 2024-25 season was marred by injuries and drama between teammates. These roadblocks ultimately led the team to miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs and now there is a ton of pressure on the team led by Patrik Allvin and new head coach Adam Foote to get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In a <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/years-are-just-flying-by-canucks-gm-allvin-on-pressure-to-build-a-contender/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>recent interview with Sportsnet</a>, Allvin spoke to the media about the pressure the team is under and how they plan to deal with it. <h3>Canucks GM Patrik Allvin Addresses What Needs To Change For The Upcoming Season</h3> During the interview, Allvin acknowledged that the organization feels the pressure to win but are using it as proper motivation. I'm not sure if urgency is the right word. But there is pressure. I just feel for my players, too, that I want to provide them -- and especially the players who have been here for several years -- I want to provide the best roster I can for the players to have a chance to win. And for the fans. Then he named several key players as individuals that need to step up for the Canucks to be successful. I definitely believe with (Thatcher) Demko, Quinn (Hughes), Elias and Brock Boeser... there's a lot of talented players and I need to build out the roster. I wouldn't say urgency, but as a general manager the pressure comes on you because what you realize in the NHL is the years are just flying by. Finally, Allvin spoke about new head coach Adam Foote who he believes will provide the best motivation possible to get the Canucks stars at their best. If you look around the league at the way teams are constructed, every team needs their drivers and best players to lead the team. Going through what we went through last year. ...I think a lot of guys learned from the adversity. And I know [head coach] Adam [Foote] and the coaches have had leadership meetings in the summer here on Zoom, and I believe the guys are extremely hungry to come back because the belief (in the team) is there. This statement from Allvin does provide confidence that the Canucks are on the path back to the playoffs but ultimately it will be up to the players to prove him and the front office right.
