New Canucks GM Challenges Players To Be The Best Quality Teammate Possible

The Vancouver Canucks' new GM said one thing must be the focus for the rebuilding club right now before discussing wins and losses.

Ryan Johnson, who was named the 13th GM in Canucks history, spoke to reporters Thursday alongside Daniel and Henrik Sedin, the club's new co-presidents of hockey operations. Johnson said building the environment will be the top priority, and they won't race through it to rush a rebuild.

That focus comes after a couple of seasons that included a dressing room rift between J.T. Miller and center Elias Pettersson, Miller and captain Quinn Hughes being traded away and a fall from first in the Pacific Division to last in the NHL.

The Vancouver Canucks introduced Ryan Johnson as their new GM and Daniel and Henrik Sedin as their new co-presidents of hockey operations. Before discussing wins and losses, the environment and culture are the focus.
