Regret-rospective: Ranking the Canucks’ most regretful recent contract extensions
The Carolina Hurricanes are your 2026 Stanley Cup Champions. And they might not be done there. The Hurricanes will head into their summer with nearly $12 million in cap space and only really Alexander Nikishin and Frederik Andersen (if they choose) to re-sign from their championship roster. It’s an enviable position to be in,…

The Canucks couldn’t ask for more goodwill about their rebuild than they have right now
Until it finally happened, there was always an open question of how the Vancouver fanbase would react to the Canucks entering into an actual, official, self-declared rebuild. And along the way, the fans’ potential reaction to a rebuild was often held up as a reason not to rebuild, with many suggesting that a fanbase this…
5 high-floor prospects the Canucks could target with pick 24 at the 2026 NHL Draft
Every fan loves the idea of landing the next star late in the first round. And we already covered a few names that could fit that bill in and around the 24th overall pick.

Canucks went outside the organization for key development roles | Wagner’s Weekly
The Vancouver Canucks have done plenty of promoting from within to overhaul their hockey operations and coaching staff. Their new co-presidents of hockey operations, Daniel and Henrik Sedin, have been part of the Canucks’ staff for five seasons, along with their 17 seasons as players. Their new general manager, Ryan Johnson, has been on…

In recent years, there’s been plenty of talk about the Vancouver Canucks needing to acquire more Canadian players, and yes, more players born in British Columbia.

“The stupidest question I’ve heard,” John Tortorella says of perfectly reasonable question about Carter Hart’s play
Fair warning, this isn’t going to have much to do with the Vancouver Canucks. Aside from the “Tortorella coached the Canucks for one season and tried to fight Bob Hartley in an intermission yadda yadda yadda.” On Thursday night, the Carolina Hurricanes pulled within one game of becoming Stanley Cup Champions when they took…
What could make it worth the Canucks’ while to take on Oilers’ Darnell Nurse?
Let’s get one thing straight right off the rip here. No one, and we mean no one, is going to be suggesting that trading for Darnell Nurse is a good decision as far as maintaining a good hockey team is concerned. He is, with little argument, the most overpaid player in the entire NHL. Any…
Why haven’t the Canucks re-signed Curtis Douglas yet?
Curtis Douglas made a quick impression after arriving in Vancouver. Claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning in March, the 6-foot-9 forward gave the Vancouver Canucks something they had been missing for much of last season: size, snarl and a willingness to make opponents answer physically. On a roster that had grown younger…

Trade tree: Re-examining the Canucks’ Erik Gudbranson for Jared McCann deal a decade later
It was 10 years ago last month that the Vancouver Canucks shipped Jared McCann and a pair of draft picks to the Florida Panthers for Erik Gudbranson. The Canucks needed size and toughness on their blueline, and then general manager Jim Benning walked right into the trap the Panthers had set for him. Gudbranson…

5 high-upside players the Canucks could target with pick 24 at the 2026 NHL Draft
The Vancouver Canucks enter the 2026 NHL Draft with a top-three selection, and with it comes a level of certainty that simply doesn’t exist later in that same round. The names at the top of the board are familiar, and teams are generally splitting hairs from the same handful of players. But once you…

Dread it, run from it, another expansion draft arrives, all the same.

Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet with a surplus of exclamation marks!

Obviously, the question of what to do with the senior Elias…
