Obviously, the draft is really important for us. Since Jim and I got [here] three years ago, we&#8217;ve definitely always emphasized on getting younger.&#8221; Allvin said.<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin opens up on future of Head Coach Adam Foote<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Canucks are on a ten-game losing streak, tying a franchise record for futility, and coaches who lead their team to long losing streaks like this don&#8217;t last long.<\/p>\n<p>Case in point, the only other time in franchise history that the Canucks lost ten games in a row, head coach Tom Renney was fired as soon as the losing streak ended.&#8221; Daniel Wagner of Canucks Army said recently.<\/p>\n<p>Well, fans got their answer on Monday afternoon as General Manager Patrik Allvin told reporters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/adam-foote-vancouver-canucks-head-coach-receives-support\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">that he stands behind Adam Foote<\/a> and his coaching staff and isn&#8217;t looking to make a change behind the bench anytime soon.&#8221;I do trust the coaching staff and Adam Foote,&#8221; Allvin said.<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;There are pockets and stretches where we&#8217;re playing really well. There was a stretch of seven weeks in late November to early January when our penalty kill was really good, but that was based on you have your goalie and you&#8217;re fairly healthy. That being said, I don&#8217;t want to use excuses. Our job is to win hockey games and we need to get better, all of us. And I know the coaches are working on the solutions and working with the players to perform better, and we need to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At this time, it probably wouldn&#8217;t be ideal to make a coaching change amid their rebuild and their goal to land the first overall pick, but depending on how the rest of the season goes, this could be a topic that&#8217;ll need to be reevaluated by Patrik Allvin and his management group in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on Vancouver Hockey Daily<\/p>\n<p>POLL<\/p>\n<p>JANVIER 21\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a01029 ANSWERS<\/p>\n<p>Vancouver Canucks GM Patrik Allvin bluntly opens up on the future of Head Coach Adam Foote<\/p>\n<p>Should the Vancouver Canucks keep Adam Foote around next season?<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13;&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":423266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3528,5,4,6308,27,52671,5692,8742],"class_list":{"0":"post-423265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-adam-foote","9":"tag-hockey","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-patrik-allvin","12":"tag-vancouver-canucks","13":"tag-vancouver-canucks-coaching-change","14":"tag-vancouver-canucks-news","15":"tag-vancouver-canucks-rumors"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115943469704550739","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=423265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/423265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/423266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=423265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=423265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=423265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
