The Vancouver Canucks have announced Adam Foote as their new head coach, along with news that Tom Willander, top prospect has signed his ELC contract with the Canucks. This is great news since Quinn Hughes is a huge fan of Adam Foote, and Willander will make this one of the best defensive cores in the entire NHL.

WILLANDER! LETS GO
Hopefully this hire works out for y'all 💪
It's a good time to make a video and great to hear from you Deaner, Hope all is well
Canucks posted this after finding out that most fans don't like Foote lmao
Tbh with all the doom gloom and the sky is falling attitudes, people are forgetting the canucks Dcore and goalie tandem is elite
Canucks fan till I die, let’s go
Phil Chytil has huge upside. Excited to see him at 2C next year!
We'll see who Foote brings in for assistant coach, but for now Willander signing his ELC though is amazing news.
I'm tired of pretending Willander is a "top prospect" he maybe be one in the Canucks system but thats more pointing toward bad scouting and terrible draft positions. Willander is like the 3rd maybe best BU D-man he isn't going to be some star in the show we need to stop doing this to ourselves as a fanbase.
Hopefully next season we are an NHL level team 🙏
In NHL circles, why is someone who you already drafted considered a ‘signing’? Surely it’s a forgone conclusion if they’re any good… obviously if they turn out to be a flop that’s a wasted draft pick.
this is the best news we have received in like 6
months
Hughes is a true elite player, and the only one on the team. He's the key to any future success the Canucks have.
I Don't know what goaltenders you're looking at when you say were Solid in that department. Demko is finished and Lankinen is a good back up at best !
Not impressed. If we couldn’t win with horvat, miller, Hughes, demko, petey all on the same team… who tf can you win with?
What last season proved wasn't that Rick Tocchet can't coach offence, because that top 6 forward group was – yikes. It was that even if you wanted to, you can't go back to 1995 and be the New Jersey Devils. You can't play a full trap and win anymore. Then again, Jersey had more offensive weapons back then than the Canucks do now, particularly with EP40 struggling last year. They need finishers and as much as a centre would be nice, they need someone who can just straight up score goals. Maybe Lekkerimaki is that guy, but probably not next season.
Very pleased to see this news today, whew. 😊
