After a 3 week hiatus due to the 2026 Winter Olympics, the National Hockey League will resume its regular season today with a slate of 8 contests that includes the Winnipeg Jets taking on the Vancouver Canucks. That means that I am back writing about our hockey team again….did you miss me?? I had planned on doing some other articles during the break….but found that I enjoyed taking a step back too much and couldn’t get the motivation to do anything other than a bit of research of prospect Kier...

The NHL's season resumes on Wednesday, and there's a very good chance before the puck drops on the post-Olympic stretch run, that several trades are going to be finalized. Specifically, don't be surprised to see the Vancouver Canucks involved, as trade conversations have picked up in a major way on Monday. Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin are involved in ongoing discussions around several of their players, as the Canucks have made it clear they're going into a full rebuild, and frankly, at thi...

The Vancouver Canucks are in dead last in the NHL and aren't making the playoffs this season. Many believe that they won't be able to bounce back and come close again next season, and given their roster, that's easy to get on board with. Vancouver has to look at dealing what they can and go into a rebuild, but that's tough when they are reportedly not that keen on moving players outside of those on expiring contracts. According to Thomas Drance, "Perhaps the Canucks surprise us and deal a vete...

The Minnesota Wild have already pulled off the trade of the season, acquiring Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks, and word is, general manager Bill Guerin is far from finished. The Wild are in the market for top-line forwards, depth forwards, and ideally, players with playoff experience, who can bring some more winning pedigree into the dressing room, for what the team hopes is a long Stanley Cup Playoff run this year. In order to add another significant piece up front, Guerin's going to ...

The medal round is winding down, and we’re set for a busy day of semifinal action unfolding over in Milan. For the early crown, we’ll see Canada and Finland facing off in what we can call the Flyers bowl, which will see a pair of teammates from Philly in Travis Sanheim and Rasmus Ristolainen facing off for a chance to punch their ticket to the gold medal game. And then, later on, it’s the big on for the local crowd — the Americans will face off against the Slovaks in their push to join their c...

The Athletic's Harman Dayal and Thomas Drance tossed out an interesting lane for the Vancouver Canucks , and it is not the usual go get the best player available shopping list. The idea is to target distressed assets, meaning underperforming veterans on awkward contracts who might bounce back with different usage, a different role, or just a different room. In a cap world where pure talent is the scarcest thing, the Canucks sniffing around players other teams are frustrated with ca...

On February 7th in 2009, Burnaby-born crooner and Vancouver Canucks fan Michael Buble took part in his most famous duet to date taking a turn in Tom Larscheid's shoes to color John Shorthouse's call.
Buble delivered a healthy dose of hometown bias to the play-by-play broadcast including a cover of Paul Leka's anthem midway through the match en route to the Canucks 7-3 win over the Chicago

On February 6th in 1998, Vancouver Canucks GM Mike Keenan and New York Islanders GM Mike Milbury traded talent sending Trevor Linden to Long Island in exchange for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe, and a third round pick in the 1998 NHL Draft (Jarkko Ruutu).
The unpopular move was one of ten during a two month span, gutting the core of the Canucks. Brian Burke replaced Keenan as GM four months later

On February 4th in 2012, Vancouver Canucks blueliner Kevin Bieksa made a spectacular diving save to prevent an empty net goal by T.J. Galiardi with 48 seconds to play, then fired a stanchion-deflected puck past goalie Jean-Sebastien Gigeure 14 seconds later to tie the game.

The Vancouver Canucks appear to be willing to trade many of their players. Two key ones have already been traded away earlier this season. One of the next to go is Evander Kane, who the Canucks brought in from the Edmonton Oilers prior to the season. As the season hasn't gone as planned, Kane is now being used as trade bait to get them a mid-round pick. If no team is willing to go as high as they're asking, I'm sure Vancouver will drop the price. Chris Johnston said, "The Canucks are willing t...

The Edmonton Oilers are looking for some bottom-6 help, but more specifically, a player who knows his role and is comfortable in his role. A third line center that fits these would be a very good add for the Oilers, and at the same time, be able to move Andrew Mangiapane to free up a roster spot and cap space for the rest of this season and next. The Vancouver Canucks appear to have a great trade target that the Oilers should be interested in, and that's Teddy Blueger. He is in the last year o...

The Vancouver Canucks are a clear seller this season after the couple of moves already made earlier this season. They are going to continue moving what they can and one of the players that will be traded is Teddy Blueger, but the price might be a little high for some to hold onto interest and not shop around elsewhere, but just right for others. Thomas Drance reported, "Based on what I'm hearing about Teddy Blueger's market value, Vancouver is looking for at least a third-round pick." That's n...

The Vancouver Canucks need to keep going and enter a planned rebuild. Quinn Hughes and Kiefer Sherwood are already traded and there are many more that could have value and be moved, whether they're pending UFAs or not. Someone with a longer deal that is expected to move well before his contract is up is Jake DeBrusk. He has five years left on his deal at $5.5 million AAV. Meanwhile, Conor Garland, another one of the core pieces, signed a six-year deal that hasn't kicked in yet. These two may b...
