NHL Insider Gives Update On Canucks GM Search, Indicates That Multiple Lists May Have Been Created

More reports are now becoming public about the Vancouver Canucks current search for a new General Manager. Over the past few days, insiders have linked plenty of names to the open position, including Kevyn Adams, Ryan Johnson and Marc Bergevin. On Tuesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet provided an interesting update on how the search is being conducted.

"I heard the reports about Kevyn Adams, said Friedman while appearing on Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer . "I think Ryan Johnson is a big one. Like I said, I think if it was just Jim Rutherford's choice, it would probably be Ryan Johnson.

I think what's interesting about this is I am starting to hear, there's probably two or three different lists. There's Rutherford's list. There's an ownership list, and there might be another one.

And so I'm just curious to see how all this is going to work. " Friedman also echoed recent reports that Vancouver is conducting an extensive search for its next GM. As mentioned, numerous names have been reported over the last few days, with a variety of experience levels among the candidates.
