On Sunday evening, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they will be holding a major news press conference on Monday afternoon, but didn't specify as to what it was for.
Given Vancouver's poor start to the 2022-23 season, could it be a personnel change? Or could it be something more positive, such as a contract extension for pending unrestricted free agent forward Bo Horvat?
Another possibility is that the Canucks could be announcing that they are hosting another outdoor game, maybe involving the Seattle Kraken as their opponent, given the geographical rivalry?
The possibilities are endless on what this press conference may be about, but it doesn't appear it's going to be as "big" as they are making it out to be.
According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the press conference is not Hockey Operations related, but it might be regarding a new TV/radio rights announcement.
Vancouver's press conference is set to be held at 2:30 p.m. local/5:30 p.m. ET, so stay tuned to the Canucks' social media to see what they are up to!
To answer your question, it's not Hockey Operations related - no personnel moves or anything like that. No one would confirm, but my best guess is it's a TV/radio rights announcement.— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) October 31, 2022
