Former Vancouver Canucks player Manny Malhotra has a deal in place with the team to become the 23rd head coach in franchise history.
After plenty of speculation, Malhotra — who was the head coach of the Abbotsford Canucks — will become the new bench boss of the Canucks.
Hockey journalist Frank Seravalli confirmed the news on Monday that Malhotra has a deal in place with Vancouver, though the team has not made an announcement yet.
“Sources say #Canucks have a deal in place to make Manny Malhotra the 23rd head coach in franchise history. Zero surprise, the Canucksâ Calder Cup winner isnât going anywhere. Heâs won with Johnson and was a teammate of the Sedins. Announcement and timing TBD,” Seravalli wrote on X.
