Clancey, 52, began his NHL career in 2007 with the Penguins, where he spent three years as a pro scout. From there, he worked from 2010-2019 as the director of professional scouting.
In 2019-20, he was promoted to director of player personnel — a role he held for two years.
Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford, who mentioned earlier this week he wanted to bring in a assistant general manager this week, would be very familiar with Clancey from their time together in Pittsburgh.
Clancey was elected to the ECHL&#8217;s hockey hall of fame after spending nine years coaching compiling a 180-136-42 record.
