Nick Turchiaro-USA TODAY Sports The Vancouver Canucks have parted ways with Newell Brown, as the team announced updates to its coaching staff today. Brad Shaw is the marquee name joining the Canucks bench, as the long-time NHL assistant coach joins Vancouver from Columbus, where he spent the past five seasons as John Tortorella’s assistant with the Blue Jackets. The Canucks have also added Kyle Gustafson as an assistant/special assignment coach. Gustafson joins the Canucks from the Portland Winterhawks — his hometown team that he has spent the past 18 years working for, which included time working with Green. The Canucks also announced contract extensions for four coaches, including goaltending coach Ian Clark. Clark’s contract is a five-year deal, according to a report from David Quadrelli from Canucks Army, which matches the length of Thatcher Demko’s new contract.
