Allvin shares his thoughts on the future of the Sedins with the Canucks organization
General Manager Patrik Allvin recently shared his thoughts on the future of the Sedin twins with the Vancouver Canucks organization.
The Vancouver Canucks are very lucky to have some great coaches both on the bench and behind the scenes that bring a wealth of NHL experience that they can pass on to the players.
Among those are Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who are set to see their roles with the organization increase next season and will even work with the Canucks' powerplay units throughout the year.
In a recent interview in Sweden, Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin was asked for his thoughts on the the Sedins' future with the organization and said that'll be up to them and their families.
He added that it was important to keep them around because they've helped implement a certain culture and standard for the organization and they want to see the younger players have success.
He added, "When they were inducted into the Hall of Fame, it showed the impact they made and the respect they earned after their 18 years in the NHL. Their behavior on and off the ice, how professional they are-Henrik and Daniel are unique in that they played at such a high level and gave back to hockey here in Vancouver all those years. They carry immense respect with them."
The Sedin twins retired from professional hockey at the conclusion of the 2017-18 season and after taking a few years away from the game, returned in 2021-22 as Special Assistants to the General Manager. In the years since, they've seen their roles expand to Development Coach and as mentioned, will now be more involved day-to-day starting next season.
It'll be interesting to see if one day the Sedins decide that they want to be behind the bench as assistant coaches one day and if so, it would be great to see them in that role for the Vancouver Canucks.
