Kraken add Patrik Allvin as Assistant GM, add Pascal Vincent as Assistant Coach
The plot for both Lane Lambert and Jason Botterill thickens today, as the Kraken have added to their front office with the additions of names both slightly known and slightly unknown. Alison Lukan broke the story: The #SeaKraken announce Patrik Allvin as their new Assistant General Manager and Pascal Vincent as an assistant coach → t.co/ihmtYGt0UF— Alison Lukan (@alisonl.bsky.social) 2026-06-11T16:36:54.899Z Patrik Allvin is a swedish-born former player who was the previous GM of the Vancouver Canucks from 2022 to 2027; principally tasked with the unenviable problem of Elias Pettersson being good, stopping being good as hard as humanly possible, and then trying desperately to pull him back to being good while the team around him showed serious holes from day one. Combine that with the Quinn Hughes and JT Miller fiascoes and it paints a picture of a GM who was maybe promoted from scout to GM a little too fast; Allvin’s draft record has been decent, but acquisitions around the constraints put in front of him were just a little bit too much. Though it’s difficult to truly say that Allvin was 100% the problem when he’s had famously stable and normal owner Francesco Aquilini and Jim Rutherford breathing down his neck, it’s probably in everybody’s best interest that he’s in a support role for the time being. Vincent meanwhile, has had a similar story; Pascal Vincent is usually credited for his work as a coach coming into rough teams and getting them back into form over time; having done so with the Winnipeg Jets AHL affiliate and was the unlucky soul who had to pick up the pieces after the Columbus Blue Jackets fired Mike Babcock before he even coached a game. After that brief and not exactly fruitful stint, he went back to the American Hockey League, and quickly turned Montreal’s affiliate, the Laval Rocket, into a surprise juggernaut; winning the AHL equivalent of the president’s trophy and an appearance at the AHL Eastern Conference Finals. While he wasn’t necessarily able to pull that off this year (they got beat in the first round), it would not be a stretch to say that he was a major part of allowing the Rocket to be good as they were through the last two years, which arguably makes him one of that program’s better minor league coaches in the past couple of decades. He took a team that was regularly out of the playoff picture in the AHL, settling around 10th to 12th in conference, and made them a Top 5 team in extremely short order. Per EyesOnThePrize‘s AHL .gif guru Scott Matla, he is a man who will be sorely missed. Even if his teams have a predilection towards penalty minutes. I mean, if you have Arber Xhekaj, you kind of have to, right? As for my personal opinion, I am…cautiously optimistic! The Kraken have issues, that’s for sure, but nothing even close to the scream-yourself-awake nightmares the Canucks had and will continue to have even with the Swedes the fans like in charge. Did Allvin contribute to some of that? Sure! But he no longer needs to make those calls. He can just focus on the prospect pool and maybe some scouting responsibilities, which were always his strengths anyways. He’s also critically not got Franky and a man who remembers when Nebuchadnezzar was in power yelling at him! That may improve his ability to manage! Meanwhile, Vincent was given maybe some of the worst circumstances imaginable in his single shot at coaching in the NHL, and at just about every other stop he’s been at he’s been a shockingly strong coach! It helps that, of course, he is not going to be in charge of running everything. The parts of Lane Lambert’s game I think he can help the best is stuff that Lane would absolutely be willing to delegate anyway, like the offense. It also appears that the new meta for coaches is being extremely bald, so unfortunately I am very out of the running. Welcome Patrik and Pascal to The Deep!
