The Vancouver Canucks have fired head coach Adam Foote.
In a social media announcement attributed to rookie general manager Ryan Johnson, the team also stated that assistant coaches Scott Young, Kevin Dean and Brett McLean have been relieved of their duties.
The moves continue the Canucks makeover which started in earnest last week with the hiring of Johnson and of Daniel and Henrik Sedin as new co-presidents of the club.
Manny Malhotra, coach of the farm team Abbotsford Canucks, is expected to be in the running to replace Foote.
