Travis Green was appointed head coach of the Vancouver Canucks two years ago. Since then, he has overseen the end of the Sedin era as well as the arrival of Elias Pettersson — but in so doing, has put together a pretty mediocre coaching record of 66-76-22.
In light of that record, it’s worth asking the awkward question as we’re still early in the summer: Can Green improve this team and make it playoff-worthy, or should the Canucks look at a coaching change while there’s still time to plan for next season?
Green took over the coaching reins from Willie Desjardins, and he’s provided the team with a low-key, low-drama approach to the game ever since.
