The Canucks? failure to make the playoffs has cost Dave Nonis his job as GM, the team said Monday night, and reported by the Canadian Press. ?The decision to relieve Dave of his duties was difficult,? team owner Francesco Aquilini said in a press release. ?I think this important change in leadership is critical to the future of the team and the direction we need to take. ?It?s not acceptable to our fans or to us as owners that our team isn?t in the playoffs.?
