Trevor Linden addresses stepping down as Canucks' President.
The Chronicle Herald

The Vancouver Canucks are off to a slow start this season, but Trevor Linden is in it for the long haul.

The Canucks' president of hockey operations and alternate governor spoke to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman regarding the situation his team currently finds themselves in. He also asked Linden whether he would consider stepping down from his position with the team. Friedman then relayed their conversation in Saturday's edition of "Headlines" on Hockey Night in Canada.

"I did ask him (Saturday), I said, 'Is any of this true?', and he said, 'Look, I came into this job with my eyes wide open. I knew there was a chance we were going to go through a difficult time. I accept that, I get the criticism and the scrutiny,' but ... he says he's not going anywhere. He is staying in his current role."

Linden was hired by the Canucks back in April 2014 and with an aging roster a slow start was in the cards for the team.

The Canucks are 5-9-1 through 15 games, and sports the NHL's second worst  goal differential at minus-16, behind only the Calgary Flames.
