It's unclear when the interview was, or what Vancouver's timeline is to hire a new GM.
Langenbrunner is not the first person on the Bruins staff to be considered for a high-ranking job. Fellow assistant general manager Evan Gold is reported to be one of three finalists to be the next GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs .
Langenbrunner is in his 11th season with the Bruins organization, and his fourth the the assistant general manager of player personnel. He previously served as the director of player development and player personnel advisor.
The Canucks fired Patrik Allvin earlier this month after three-plus seasons. Vancouver finished last in the NHL with a 25-49-8 record and missed the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fifth time in six seasons.
