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.” Allvin said to MacIntyre.
He added, “I definitely believe with (Thatcher) Demko, Quinn (Hughes), Elias (Pettersson) 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.”
