What Canucks fans should expect from Luke Schenn in his third stint in Vancouver
The last time Luke Schenn wore a Vancouver Canucks sweater, his responsibility was to be a security blanket beside the club’s franchise defenceman Quinn Hughes. A different assignment awaits him this time. Vancouver signed Schenn to a one-year contract carrying a $2.25 million cap hit on July 1, bringing the 36-year-old back for his…

WWYDW: Which former Canuck would you bring in to mentor the rebuild?
Welcome back to WWYDW, the only hockey column on the internet that was trained by an older, more experienced hockey column on a boat at sea. Speaking of mentor-ships, that pun is terrible, and we apologize for it. Just as we apologize for bringing up ‘mentorship’ in general, because we know it’s a term…
So, what would a reasonable Shane Wright trade look like for the Canucks?
We’re not even halfway through July, and the rumours regarding Shane Wright and the Vancouver Canucks continue to percolate.

Braeden Cootes’ maturity shines through at Canucks Development Camp
Braeden Cootes arrived at Vancouver Canucks Development Camp another year older and another year wiser. One of the “veterans” at camp in Abbotsford, the 19-year-old was quick to clarify that he’s “still a younger guy”, a laugh for both him and the local media. But it’s clear he has the mentality of a much…

What fans should expect from Brendan Gallagher and where he fits on a young Canucks squad
Brendan Gallagher’s seven-goal season makes it easy to view the Vancouver Canucks’ newest winger as a fading veteran whose best years are behind him. And that is probably true. But there are more elements to the scrappy winger’s game than just goals and points. Vancouver acquired the Delta, B.C. native from the Montreal Canadiens…

Could Elias Pettersson spend time back on the wing for the Canucks in 2026-27?
There is probably no other player in the Vancouver Canucks organization with more question marks attached to them heading into the 2026-27 than Elias Pettersson.

Recent staffing decisions leave Canucks with big holes that must be filled in player development
As the Vancouver Canucks have shuffled their deck this summer and rearranged their front office and coaching staffs at both the National Hockey League and American Hockey League levels, it has resulted in several promotions from within.

Dhaliwal: Canucks approached Kraken about Shane Wright; ask was ‘very high’
After it was reported earlier this month that 22-year-old Seattle Kraken centreman Shane Wright is available on the trade market, the 2022 fourth-overall pick has become a name to watch this summer.

Could the Canucks take advantage of a cap-strapped Ducks team?
Now in a rebuilding phase, the Vancouver Canucks are in a prime position to use their salary cap to their advantage, take on some unwanted money from overpaid players, and get paid handsomely to do so. One of those opportunities just popped up with some recent news around the NHL. After yesterday’s news that…
The Canucks should probably avoid pursuing Shane Wright unless he comes unexpectedly cheap
The process of rebuilding is supposed to be a slow one, and the Vancouver Canucks seem poised to employ the patience one requires.
