After a small move involving minor league players earlier on deadline day, the Bruins wrapped up their business with another minor move. Just after the deadline had passed, the Bruins announced that they’ve acquired forward Lukas Reichel from the Vancouver Canucks. (Side note: the press release used weird phrasing, which was “Bruins agree to acquire […]
The Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center on Friday night following a four-game road trip (five if you count before the Olympic break) and host the Vancouver Canucks. The Canucks sit dead last in the standings with an 18-36-7 record (good enough for a whopping 43 points). As the Canucks deal with the existential crisis of committing to a rebuild, a 1-7-2 record in their last 10 games has slid by, including losses in their last three games. With the trade deadline dominating headl...
The Vancouver Canucks are open for business and after Tyler Myers and Conor Garland were recently traded, expect much more of the same from Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin on Friday. The Canucks are in the midst of a fire sale and have held trade discussions around Elias Pettersson with the Carolina Hurricanes and Detroit Red Wings. They've also been in talks on Evander Kane, Brock Boeser, Drew O'Connor, Teddy Blueger, and even David Kampf. There's been no shortage of interest in Boeser...
The Vancouver Canucks' fire sale continues, as they've dealt a huge contract off their books. The Canucks sent forward Conor Garland to the Columbus Blue Jackets, in exchange for a 2028 second-round pick, and a 2026 third-round pick. Garland hasn't even had his new extension kick in, and the Canucks are moving on. The pesky forward is in the final season of his current contract, earning $4.95 million AAV, and next season has his extension start, which is a six-year deal, at $6 million AAV. Gar...
The NHL's trade market is as hot as ever as this busy Thursday included the San Jose Sharks and Vancouver Canucks doing some business together. The Sharks acquired defenceman Jett Woo from the Canucks in exchange for defenceman Jack Thompson. Woo, 25, has collected eight points in 26 games this season with the Abbotsford Canucks of the American Hockey League. He's been used mostly in a depth role and has also logged 78 penalty minutes this season. 🔁 The #SJSharks have acquired defenseman Jett ...
The Carolina Hurricanes got a hat trick from Nikolaj Ehlers and defeated the Vancouver Canucks, 6-4 on Wednesday night at Rogers Arena. It was a tight game at the end as Ehlers netted his last goal into an empty net with just 14 seconds left. It was his second hat trick of the season and […]
The Carolina Hurricanes (38-16-6) continue their road trip with a visit to Vancouver to battle the Canucks (18-35-7) tonight. This is game two of their four game visit out West. The Canes point streak was broken in Seattle on Monday night but they still have an admirable 12-1-2 record in their last 15 games. The […]
While the trade deadline creeps closer and Rasmus Ristolainen’s name continues to be floated in trade rumors all over the league, one of his main comparables has found a new home. Tyler Myers has been sent to Dallas in order to join their playoff push, with the Canucks receiving both a 2027 second-round pick and a 2029 fourth-round pick in return. Vancouver will also retain 50% of Myers’ $3-million AAV cap hit on his contract that runs until the end of next season, in order to ship ...
He's been held out of the Vancouver Canucks lineup for a week now, pondering his future with trade offers on the table. Finally, Tyler Myers has agreed to a deal sending him to the Dallas Stars.

Details: Tyler Myers to Dallas for a 2nd Rd pick in '27 and a 4th RD pick in '29. Plus Vancouver is retaining 50 percent on remainder of ...
One team that many of us may be sleeping on as we approach Friday's deadline is the New York Islanders . There haven't been a lot of rumors about who they might be chasing. But we do know that GM Mathieu Darche wants to reward his team for the unexpected playoff-bound season they're having. According to Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal , we should all be keeping an eye on the Islanders. He says that Conor Garland is on their radar. Dhaliwal: Keep an eye on the Isles. T...
How do you ask for a trade, without asking for one? When rumors starting floating around last week about Jake DeBrusk being a trade candidate, Vancouver Canucks insiders sniffed around and concluded that DeBrusk had NOT asked for a trade. He apparently wanted to see through whatever rebuild the Canucks were undertaking. But then he said this in the Vancouver Province on Tuesday, per Ben Kuzma : I think a rebuild is hard for every player, but at the same point it’s a great opportuni...
The Vancouver Canucks might be listening on plenty ahead of the March 6 trade deadline, but Filip Hronek is the exception. TSN’s Chris Johnston has pushed the idea that Hronek is the one player Vancouver simply is not moving, even while the rest of the roster gets dragged into deadline chatter. Filip Hronek Untouchable in Canucks Trade Talks The read on Vancouver right now is if you are not part of the youth group, you are at least being discussed in trade talks. Johnston...
The Vancouver Canucks are rethinking their team's identity. President of hockey operations Jim Rutherford made it clear on the 100% Hockey Podcast that he would like to see more Canadian players wearing a Canucks sweater moving forward. While talent will always come first, Rutherford openly acknowledged that the current roster lacks Canadian representation. Jim Rutherford wants more Canadians on Canucks roster “We would love to have more Canadian players,” Rutherford said, addi...
The Colorado Avalanche are seeking to bolster their lineup ahead of the Stanley Cup playoffs. According to one NHL Insider, the team would keep its eyes within the Western Conference as they seek to add forward Kiefer Sherwood from the San Jose Sharks. Sherwood was recently acquired from the Vancouver Canucks for AHL defenseman Cole Clayton and two 2nd-round picks (2026 & 2027). The @Avalanche are poking around and “monitoring closely” the Sherwood situation in SAN Jose. ...
Elias Pettersson's days as a Vancouver Canuck appear numbered. The veteran center was recently benched against the Seattle Kraken, and it's becoming more obvious by the day that a change of scenery is on the horizon. The Detroit Red Wings are becoming the heavy favorite at this point, and with the trade history between these two clubs, it appears likely they'll be able to work together and facilitate a deal before 3pm on Friday. Pettersson's owed $11.6 million AAV through the 2032 season and h...
The Boston Bruins are looking to make a move. GM Don Sweeney says he's looking to "give the team a bump" at this deadline, to reward them for an unexpectedly successful season that sees them clinging to the second Wild Card spot in the East. And word is, they're zeroing in on the Vancouver Canucks to get something done. According to insider James Murphy , the Bruins are "actively scouting" the Canucks, with two players in particular in their crosshairs. Boston has been track...
As trade deadline week is fully upon us, one deal that was thought to be decided upon by the end of the weekend did not take place. Tyler Myers was held out of the Vancouver Canucks lineup last Wednesday night for trade-related purposes , and again on Saturday night. But he has still not made up his mind on how to go forward. He came into the season wanting to stay in Vancouver for the year, but things might be moving in a different direction. Reports had the Detroit Red Wings with an offer on...
The Vancouver Canucks are currently at the bottom of the NHL standings with an 18-33-7 record. With this, they are one of the NHL's top sellers leading up to the 2026 trade deadline. One Canucks player who has the potential to be traded ahead of the deadline is Teddy Blueger. The 31-year-old center is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and should generate interest from clubs looking for help down the middle. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Bluge...
With the trade deadline looming, and all the rampant speculation that emerges in the days leading up to it, may we present another little interesting tidbit. Perhaps it’s nothing more than a coach and a player he coached last season catching up on life and family, but according to Vancouver Canucks insider and sports radio host Rick Dhaliwal, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet and Canucks center Elias Pettersson had a rather lengthy discussion during the Olympics. Tocchet, who was one of Team...
The San Jose Sharks beat a large number of interested teams to the punch in securing a trade for Kiefer Sherwood from the Vancouver Canucks back in January. But is Sherwood's stay in San Jose going to come to a close after just a handful of games? The bruising forward is a pending unrestricted free agent, and is looking for a huge raise. There's been talk about an ask in the neighborhood of a $5 million AAV for the NHL's single-season Hits record-holder. The Sharks certainly knew w...

Defenseman Tyler Myers was even pulled from the lineup Wednesday night as he considers some trade offers the Canucks have received for him. Other names we've heard plenty of buzz around include Evander Kane, Teddy Blueger, Conor Garland, Jake DeBrusk and even Elias Pettersson.

The Vancouver Canucks are trying to execute their next trade. But they'll need some cooperation from a player first. They pulled longtime defenseman Tyler Myers from the lineup for their game Wednesday night, for trade-related purposes. We've now learned that the Detroit Red Wings had a trade offer on the table with Vancouver for Myers, but the 6'8" d-man has a full no-move clause in his contract, and he hasn't yet agreed to any deal. Tyler Myers continues to consider a trade optio...
With the March 6 trade deadline closing in, the Vancouver Canucks are reportedly taking calls on a name that would have sounded untouchable not long ago. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period says the Canucks are willing to listen on Jake DeBrusk, and a very interesting twist is that the Boston Bruins are among the teams believed to have interest in a reunion. Canucks Willing to Listen on Jake DeBrusk Pagnotta’s reporting has DeBrusk landing on The Fourth Period’s Trade Watch list, wit...
