The Vancouver Canucks struggled last season, and if they start slow again, one analyst has predicted some major changes from the front office. 2024/25 was a season to forget for the Vancouver Canucks, as the team went through immense struggles on the ice <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/quinn-hughes-discusses-how-he-tried-to-solve-the-conflict-between-elias-pettersson-and-jt-miller-last-season' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>amid their drama in the locker room</a>, and it resulted in an incredibly disappointing campaign from a team that was in the Stanley Cup Playoffs just a season before. This off-season, they've seemingly solidified their roster, and with no incoming drama to be expected, there's plenty of optimism about the future for this organization and how competitive they can be in 2025/26 even in what is shaping up to be a very competitive post-season chase in the Pacific Division. <h3>One analyst predicts major change if Vancouver struggle early</h3> In a recent report from <a href='https://theprovince.com/sports/canucks-this-season-management-is-in-the-hot-seat' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The Province</a>, Patrick Johnston took aim at the Canucks, and revealed that if this team struggles early, the front office could look to make sweeping change to this roster. 'If this team struggles out of the gate, by Christmas there will be management changes,' my source predicted. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/gradysas/status/1966952917656895943'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> This should come as no surprise after the team made the move to trade J.T. Miller this past season, and if the team struggle given the expectations built by the 2023/24 team, it makes sense that the front office would be reactive. The moves that the front office would make clearly depend on where the struggles come from, but with so much optimism around the new look squad, there's hopes that they can start the season hot and push for a Stanley Cup Playoffs spot in the Pacific division.
