From the province...seems like Melanson is possibly gone?
Lidster is the only official assistant coach, though both Glen Gulutzan and Rollie Melanson are still expected to be on the staff when the season starts.
“We’re still going to through a bit of a process with Rolls,†Desjardins said.
“But (Gulutzan and Melanson) are basically official. I’m going to talk to them. The only thing is if there are different roles they’re not quite as familiar with, or want.
“Maybe there is a little bit of a change.
“They’re both real good guys and they’ve done a real good job for us.â€
Melanson has not been at the Canucks prospects camp, where some expected him to be working with Thatcher Demko, the promising goalie Vancouver drafted with the 36th overall pick in June.
As for Gulutzan, Desjardin was asked specifically who is going to run his power play.
“We have to sit down and discuss that as a group,†the head coach said.
