VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – The Vancouver Canucks have made some big changes to its front office.
This morning the club announced it had fired Vice President of Hockey Operations and Assistant General Manager Laurence Gilman, Assistant General Manager Lorne Henning and Director of Player Personnel Eric Crawford.
“On behalf of our entire organization I would like to sincerely thank Laurence, Lorne and Eric for their commitment and dedication to the Vancouver Canucks,” says Trevor Linden. “They have been important members of our staff for a long time and made significant contributions to the success of this team. Further still, they are great people and respected members of the hockey community.”
“We have made some difficult decisions to our roster and staff recently after a thorough review of the team,” adds Linden. “These are not easy decisions, nor were they taken lightly. But they’re important as we transition this team and build for the future.”
Over the past couple of days, the team has traded several players including defenceman Kevin Bieksa and goalie Eddie Lack.
