Canucks Tap Player Agent For Front Office Post

Vancouver is reaching outside the usual hockey résumé line and handing a front office job to an NHL player agent, which is the kind of move that makes every scout in the building sit up a little straighter. The Canucks are clearly looking for someone who knows the labor side, the contract side, and the temperature in a room full of agents and managers. That matters in a league where one call can shape a roster, a cap sheet, and a summer that never quite stays quiet.
