Canucks Bet On Malhotra To Reset The Franchise

Vancouver has put Manny Malhotra in charge, and that alone tells you the Canucks believe this team needs a new tone as much as a new voice. The story around the hire is not just about a bench boss - it is about whether the organization thinks it can climb back into relevance with the right mix of familiarity and edge. That is the kind of gamble teams make when they think the room still has something left to give.
