by

The Vancouver Canucks and Amateur Scouting Director Judd Brackett have mutually agreed to part ways when Brackett’s contract expires on June 30.

In a statement, the Canaucks say no other changes will be made to the team’s amateur scouting staff at this time and that general manager Jim Benning will still be responsible for final draft decisions.

“We are grateful for Judd’s contributions and leadership at an important time for our team,” Benning said in a statement. “Judd earned the respect of his peers and fans alike; we’re proud of what he and our amateur scouting staff have accomplished. Although difficult, we believe this is the right decision for the future of our team. We are confident we have a strong scouting staff and are well positioned for the upcoming NHL Draft.”
