In a move to bolster their player development, the Canucks have hired Dave Babych to work with Dave Gagner, their director player development.
The former Canucks blueliner will work with the organization’s defencemen.
“We don’t have a lot of defencemen on our coaching staffs, here or in Manitoba,” GMMike Gillis said.
“We just wanted an extra set of eyes and a voice. He’s joining us on a part-time basis. He will work mostly with Dave in understanding where our defence prospects are and creating a course of action for them. He’ll watch them and provide advice based on his experience.”
