On the way back

The Vancouver Canucks have returned F Dan Gendur to the Everett Silvertips. They also released F Garet Hunt, who is expected to rejoin the Vancouver Giants, and F Evan Fuller, who will return to the Prince George Cougars. Among the players moving along to the Canucks' main camp are RW Michael Grabner, 20, who played with the Spokane Chiefs, and C Mario Bliznak, 20, of the Giants. . . . The Canucks also released ex-WHLer Dylan Yeo, 21. . . .


One note from the QMJHL where the Val-d’Or Foreurs and director of hockey operations Stéphane Pilotte have parted company after eight seasons and one championship. A teacher, Pilotte talked with management about his burgeoning workload at school and the decision was made to make a change. Head coach Eric Lavigne has added the GM’s duties and has signed a three-year contract. . . .

Former Kamloops Blazers GM Stu MacGregor has been named the Edmonton Oilers' head scout. MacGregor spent three seasons as the Blazers' GM (1995-98) before leaving to scout for the Dallas Stars. . . .
