BREAKING NEWS:Daniel Sedin Returns to Vancouver with MASSIVE 4-years deals After… details more.

 In a shocking and emotional twist for Canucks fans, Daniel Sedin is officially returning to the Vancouver Canucks organization — but this time, it’s not behind the bench. The legendary Swedish forward has signed a massive 4-year deal to rejoin the team in a high-profile executive role, marking a bold new chapter in his storied career with the franchise.

While initial rumors suggested he might continue his development work or even step away from hockey, sources confirm that Sedin has accepted the position of President of Hockey Operations, giving him full oversight of the team’s on-ice direction. The contract is reportedly worth $16 million over four years, making him one of the highest-paid executives in the NHL.

From Player to Coach — and Now to the Front Office

After retiring as a player in 2018, Sedin, alongside his twin brother Henrik, joined the Canucks’ front office as Special Advisors. They later moved into coaching and development roles with the organization’s AHL affiliate in Abbotsford. Over the last two seasons, Daniel earned widespread praise for his leadership, player development skills, and vision for the team’s future.

“This is Home”

At today’s press conference, Sedin said:

“Vancouver is home. It always has been. I’m honored and excited to help guide the Canucks back to the level of success this city deserves.”

Fans immediately flooded social media with celebration and nostalgia, hailing the return of one of the most beloved figures in franchise history.

What This Means for the Canucks

Sedin’s appointment comes at a critical time, with the Canucks narrowly missing the playoffs last season and facing tough roster decisions this offseason. His leadership is expected to signal a return to a more disciplined, skill-focused approach — a style Daniel exemplified during his Hall of Fame career.
