The Vancouver Canucks are looking to make some trades during the 2025-26 NHL season. At this time, it does not appear that superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes is among the names on the trade block. However, players such as Conor Garland and Evander Kane could find themselves on the move. And that speculation will follow them […]

The Vancouver Canucks are getting sick of being at the bottom of the pack in the Western Conference. It seems like President Jim Rutherford said enough is enough, and reportedly made his veterans available on the trade block. While the initial reaction was to look at names like Conor Garland and Kiefer Sherwood, all eyes […]

It’s once again been a struggle for the Vancouver Canucks to find consistency, as they’re currently in seventh place in the Pacific Division with a subpar record of 9-12-2 through the first 23 games of the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Naturally, as a team struggles as the Canucks are, there are going to be trade rumors […]

After narrowly missing the playoffs last season, many expected the Vancouver Canucks to make another run at the postseason this year. Unfortunately, the Canucks have stumbled to a 9-12-2 start to begin the 2025-26 campaign. If this current dip in form continues, Vancouver could look to deal multiple players ahead of the March trade deadline. […]

The Vancouver Canucks are currently one of the worst teams in the NHL. If the season ended today, they would finish with the fourth-best odds of winning the NHL Draft lottery. It’s a far fall from grace for a team that won the Pacific Division a few years back, thanks to a Norris Trophy performance […]

The Chicago Blackhawks gave one of their young players, Lukas Reichel, a fresh start when they traded him to the Vancouver Canucks earlier this season. Reichel had fallen out of favor in Chicago, and it looked like he might be able to help a Canucks team that sometimes struggles on offense. However, after 13 games […]

Just when it looked like the Vancouver Canucks were going to get some momentum going after snapping a three-game losing skid, they are back down again, as they suffered an 8-5 loss to the reigning Stanley Cup champions Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida on Monday evening. Despite the loss, Canucks star […]

The Vancouver Canucks have finalized a one-year, $1.1 million contract with center David Kampf. The agreement came one day after the Maple Leafs placed him on waivers for contract termination, ending what would have been the third season of his four-year deal that carried a $2.4 million AAV. The 30-year-old opened the year in the […]

The Vancouver Canucks are currently 8-9-1, but it seems like things are on the verge of getting worse before they can get better. They have seven players on their injured list, and the next three games on the road will not be easy, as they face the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Florida Panthers. […]

Vancouver Canucks star defenseman Quinn Hughes had an injury scare during the second period of Tuesday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. Hughes appeared hurt after battling for the puck near the boards with Jets star Mark Scheifele. Hughes grabbed his shoulder before leaving the ice and heading to the […]

The Vancouver Canucks paid Elias Pettersson handsomely a few seasons ago. And it made a ton of sense at the time. Pettersson was a 100-point scorer and one of the more effective playmakers in the game. Unfortunately, the offense has not been there for the Canucks star. But he is starting to make a big […]

The Vancouver Canucks are a middling team thus far in the 2025-26 season, which is why they are trying to spark their roster by calling up prospect Tom Willander from the Abbotsford Canucks. Willander had an outside chance at making the team out of training camp, but the front office believed he needed some more […]

The Vancouver Canucks have enhanced their forward depth by acquiring 23-year-old German winger Lukas Reichel from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 2027 fourth-round draft pick on Friday. Vancouver General Manager Patrik Allvin officially confirmed the move. The pick originally belonged to Chicago and was previously acquired by the Canucks in June 2024 as […]

Vancouver Canucks forward Filip Chytil has become the latest victim of notorious Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson, and he’s since been placed on Injured Reserve. Chytil was hurt during Sunday evening’s game at Capital One Arena after he was leveled by Wilson in the neutral zone just a moment after he released the puck for […]

The Vancouver Canucks were relying on Elias Pettersson to be a big-time player for them in the 2025-26 season. It was an alleged rift with Pettersson that sent J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers, and the Swedish star needed to prove that Vancouver made the right choice in keeping him on the roster. Unfortunately, […]

The Vancouver Canucks won the Pacific Division in 2023-24, but last year missed the playoffs and dealt with both on-ice and off the ice issues. The team traded JT Miller and then parted ways with coach Rick Tocchet. Now, the Nucks look to bounce back this season, but for that to happen, this X-factor needs […]

The Vancouver Canucks are looking for a bounce-back year, entering the 2025-26 season. After winning the Pacific Division in 2024, the Canucks struggled last year. The team managed just a 38-30-14 record, finishing 10th in the Western Conference. The organization didn’t make a ton of offseason additions, but did manage to retain Brock Boeser, and […]

The Vancouver Canucks are gearing up for the 2025-26 NHL season at this time. However, the team saw young forward Nils Hoglander go down with an injury during their preseason. Vancouver fans have awaited for a more concrete update on the 24-year-old’s status since his injury. On Monday, they received that update. Hoglander suffered a […]

The Vancouver Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup. Along with their expansion sibling Buffalo Sabres, they cannot get over the hump despite their diehard fan base. They have had their share of great chances and phenomenal players like Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, and Roberto Luongo. Here is a look at the Canucks Top 10 […]

The Vancouver Canucks were one of the most interesting teams not to make the playoffs in 2024-25. They were in the headlines every week without challenging for a Wild Card spot. A locker-room tiff ended with JT Miller getting traded, while Rick Tocchet bizarrely lost his job. Looking ahead to the 2025-26 season, how will […]

The Vancouver Canucks missed the playoffs last year and made a ton of changes in the process. JT Miller and Rick Tocchet are gone, but there are still expectations in Western Canada. Canucks captain Quinn Hughes has two years left on his contract, with speculation that he will join his brothers Luke and Jack on […]

The New Jersey Devils were bounced in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Carolina Hurricanes last year. They made the postseason despite a season full of key injuries. Forward Jack Hughes was among those injured, but he should be ready for the new season to begin. The Devils star was asked […]

The Vancouver Canucks are looking to return to relevancy after a hugely disappointing 2024-25 campaign. The squad followed up a trip to Game 7 of the Western Conference second round by missing the postseason entirely, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division after a tumultuous year. One key place the team has been looking to upgrade […]

The Vancouver Canucks are looking for a bounce-back season in 2025-26. They missed the playoffs last year, trading JT Miller and moving on from Rick Tocchet in response. But one question looms over the organization’s future as the new season begins. Canucks captain Quinn Hughes has two years left on his contract and spoke with […]

The Vancouver Canucks enjoyed a team breakout in 2023-24, rectifying three consecutive missed postseasons by winning 50 games and capturing the Pacific Division in the process. They then took the eventual Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers to seven games in Round 2. It was a hugely encouraging campaign for the franchise, and there was hope […]

Filip Chytil has struggled mightily to stay healthy throughout his career — but the Vancouver Canucks forward provided an overwhelmingly positive update at the NHL player media tour in Europe earlier this week. “I feel great, and hopefully it’s gonna be like this for a lot of years,” Chytil told reporters, including The Athletic’s Michael […]

The Vancouver Canucks were a headline-grabbing team in the 2024-25 season. From a locker room rift forcing a trade of JT Miller, to rumors around Elias Pettersson, to an end-of-year coaching change, Vancouver made plenty of noise. But, they did not make the postseason. New head coach Adam Foote must lead the team to the […]

Coming off a successful 2023-24 season that saw the Vancouver Canucks finish first in the Pacific Division, there were high hopes for the team this past year. However, the season turned out very different than expected. The Canucks struggled, finishing the year with a 38-30-14 record, and missed the playoffs. As a result, it seemed […]

Jack Roslovic is arguably the best free agent still available on the market in the dog days of summer — and the UFA has been linked to the Vancouver Canucks as a potential top destination over the last couple of weeks. It makes sense; Roslovic is an effective middle-six center, which is exactly what the […]

The Carolina Hurricanes took a chance on Evgeny Kuznetsov at the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline. The veteran forward was looking for a fresh start away from the Washington Capitals. And Carolina believed he could help their playoff push. He left Carolina following the 2024 postseason, and after a year away, he is seeking a potential […]

The Vancouver Canucks missed the postseason in 2024-25 for a myriad of reasons. Quinn Hughes and Thatcher Demko missed time with injury, they traded JT Miller amid locker room drama, and a key center was dreadful. The Canucks got just 45 points out of center Elias Pettersson in the first year of his massive contract. […]

Patrick Allvin has had a tumultuous ride as the GM of the Vancouver Canucks. After taking over in January 2022, he would make some moves, and the team would make the playoffs in 2023-24. Still, 2024-25 would see a step back, locker room strife, and the trade of JT Miller. He has brought in a […]

The Vancouver Canucks have missed the playoffs for four of the last five seasons. They have often narrowly missed out on a playoff spot in recent years, and after a tumultuous 2024-25 campaign, in which they traded JT Miller, the team needed to make moves in NHL Free Agency. They did make some moves, but […]

The Vancouver Canucks had an interesting offseason after a disappointing 2024-25 campaign. They declined the option on Rick Tocchet, hired Adam Foote as the new coach, and re-signed Brock Boeser amid rumors he was going to leave. As the summer moves cooled off, they traded Dakota Joshua to the Toronto Maple Leafs. According to Sportsnet’s […]

The NHL offseason is winding down, and most goaltending rooms are filled up. That means the end of a great run for one of the league’s long-standing backups. Jaroslav Halak announced his retirement on Friday after a 17-year career with seven teams, including the Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, and New York Rangers. After 581 NHL […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins and Vancouver Canucks connected on a trade on Sunday. After signing Thatcher Demko to a three-year extension, Vancouver had a logjam at goaltender. And even though they are in a rebuild, Pittsburgh has been searching for the right goalie for years. That’s why the Penguins sent Chase Stillman and a fourth-round pick […]

The Vancouver Canucks have missed the playoffs in four of the last five seasons. This year, they were just six points outside of a playoff spot, but still, it was a major step back from winning the Pacific Division in 2022-23. It was a tumultuous season for the Canucks this past campaign. They traded JT […]

The Vancouver Canucks re-signed multiple players this week, as 2026 pending free agents became eligible to sign extensions as of July 1. Conor Garland signed a six-year extension with the team, carrying a $6 million cap hit annually. Meanwhile, the team also locked up goaltender Thatcher Demko on a three-year deal at $8.5 million per […]

The Vancouver Canucks have had an interesting offseason. First, they traded for Evander Kane, shocking many in the process. The Canucks salary cap only had room for one more major move. Then, the franchise extended Brock Boeser to a seven-year, $50.75 million contract extension, surprising the hockey world, as many thought he would sign elsewhere. […]
