What happened: Farhan Lalji outlined expected changes as Vancouver opens camp with the Sedin twins running hockey operations and new voices in the general manager and coaching jobs. The shift amounts to a top-down reset for a club that has remade its decision-makers ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Why it matters: That kind of leadership turnover usually shows up first in practice structure, roster calls and the standard for daily details rather than in splash moves. It also extends themes from Vancouver's first camp messages under the new group, which centered on structure and execution.

What to watch: Preseason deployment and early roster decisions should offer the first clear read on how much the new setup changes the club's day-to-day operation. The next checkpoint is whether that messaging carries into opening-night choices.
