The Vancouver Canucks restructured their management hierarchy Thursday, appointing Ryan Johnson as the new general manager while elevating franchise icons Daniel and Henrik Sedin to co-presidents of hockey operations. This significant internal shift aims to align player development and organizational strategy under a unified leadership structure ahead of the critical offseason. Separately, betting operators are incentivizing wagers on Thursday's action, offering $100 in bonus bets via a Draft Kings promotion for new users betting $5 across MLB and NHL contests.
