In a new interview with Sportsnet, Vancouver Canucks captain Quinn Hughes opened up about Adam Foote replacing Rick Tocchet behind the Canucks bench. Over the last 12 months the Vancouver Canucks completely overhauled the future of their team. It began with the Canucks trading away J.T. Miller in exchange for Filip Chytil due to locker room chemistry issues. Then, once the season officially came to a close, the Canucks parted ways with head coach Rick Tocchet paving the way for him to become the Philadelphia Flyers new head coach. After parting ways with Tocchet the Canucks named Assistant Head Coach Adam Foote the new Head Coach. Today, after returning to Vancouver, captain Quinn Hughes <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/quinn-hughes-addresses-his-future-in-vancouver-after-disappointing-canucks-season' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>made a statement regarding all of the changes made by the organization.</a> <h3>Quinn Hughes Breaks His Silence On New Head Coach Adam Foote Taking Over For Rick Tocchet</h3> During the interview with Sportsnet, Hughes admitted that he appreciated former head coach Rick Tocchet but that it was definitely time for a change after the drama of last season. I really did like Rick. I thought he was a really great coach. He loves hockey, very passionate about the game - maybe more than any coach I've had. He was a great person that cared about his players. But a lot of things that were exhausting for me (last season) were probably twice as exhausting for him. He had a lot on his plate. It was tough to see him go. But saying that, he earned the right to go where he wanted to. There was also a couple of things that, I think, he had on his mind about family that we won't get into. Not everyone knows the ins and outs of everyone's life. But what I can say is Rick deeply cared about the Canucks and wanted to make this a winning organization. As for new head coach Adam Foote, Hughes is excited and optimistic that the former NHL defenseman can bring the best out of the group going forward. I had my two best years with Footy as my D-coach. He's another guy that's a great person and really cares about his players, very technical on the defensive side, intelligent, got a lot of experience. Another guy you can walk into his office and shoot the sh-- with. What I've seen, he's trying to get the best out of each guy and maybe make guys play better than what they think they're capable of. Hopefully, he can do that with everyone on the roster. I know he's extremely excited to be the head coach. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1963238018090762437'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> While the decision to move on from Tocchet was met with mixed reviews from Canucks fans it seems that the move was one that was much needed and will be best for the group going forward.
