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…
Manny Malhotra’s inexperienced staff represents a unique opportunity for Canucks
More pieces of the Vancouver Canucks‘ 2026-27 season are falling into place. General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the #Canucks have named Ryan Mougenel, Jordan Smith, and Jason Krog Assistant Coaches, and Andrew Shaw as Assistant to the Video Coach.

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. In fact, he’s got so many question marks attached to him, even Batman has started to get suspicious. Will be even still be here in October? What could the…
JPat’s Monday Mailbag: What’s the best path for Braeden Cootes’ development in Canucks rebuild?
Welcome to another summer edition of the Monday Mailbag. Keep the questions coming throughout the offseason, and we’ll do our best to answer some of them on a weekly basis through the remainder of July and into August, too. The remaining weeks of the offseason will provide us all ample opportunity to assess what the…
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. Daniel and Henrik Sedin have ascended to the top jobs of co-presidents of the organization, and Ryan Johnson…
Canucks prospect Adam Novotný talks about his development journey and who he models his game after
Things may be quieting down for the summer across the NHL following the draft and free agency, but for players and prospects, the summer months are far from time off. Adam Novotný, the Vancouver Canucks’ second first-round draft pick this year, already has his eyes set on another year of rigorous development. Speaking at last…
Who will make up the Canucks’ leadership group in 2026-27?
The Vancouver Canucks have gone six months without a captain following the trade of Quinn Hughes, their longest such stint since Henrik Sedin retired. It’s yet to be determined whether the Canucks will name a new captain prior to the 2026-27 season. If not, it’ll be only the second captain-less season in franchise history, following…
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. With the Vancouver Canucks heading into a rebuild, 22-year-olds like Wright are the kind of players that should intrigue the organization. On Thursday, Donnie…
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. The most important part of a rebuild is acquiring premium young talent, and that’s almost exclusively done through the draft, an event that comes but once a year. It’s only very…

Milestone watch: Health will determine Demko’s ability to rise through Canucks all-time goaltending ranks next season
In his decade-plus in the Vancouver Canucks organization, Thatcher Demko has posted 134 National Hockey League victories. However, just 18 of them have come over the past two injury-plagued seasons in which he has appeared in 23 and 20 games, respectively.

Luke Schenn might not be an every-night player for the Canucks in 2026-27, and that’s alright with them
It’s been three whole NHL seasons since Luke Schenn last suited up for the Vancouver Canucks. And in the sport of hockey, that’s an enormous amount of time. Back then, in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, Schenn was making just $850,000 a season. At times, the Canucks had him playing on the top pairing…
5 takeaways from the Abbotsford Canucks’ 2026-27 schedule
Yesterday, the Abbotsford Canucks released their 2026-27 schedule. The American Hockey League calendar always has its quirks. The 72-game slate is now 12 games shorter than the 84-game NHL schedule; travel is often packaged into back-to-backs; and Pacific Division clubs spend many nights seeing the same jerseys across the ice. After a disappointing Calder…

The timeline of the current Canucks’ various NTCs and NMCs
No-trade and no-movement clauses have become an unexpected topic of conversation in the NHL this summer. A few high-profile trade demands have drawn attention to the fact that the NHL is chock-full of such clauses in a way that other professional sports leagues just aren’t. It’s an issue that many now believe will be addressed…

Milestone watch: Hronek has opportunity to cement his spot among top Canucks defencemen of all time next season
Playing in the shadows of Quinn Hughes as he did for his first three seasons in Vancouver, Filip Hronek didn’t really have the chance to pile up the points. But now that Hughes has moved along, Hronek is the undisputed best defenceman on the roster and has a real opportunity to climb the ranks of…

Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet, posted entirely in rough-draft format. Speaking of rough drafts, a few of those in a row, and a rebuild might be in trouble. So far, so good for the rebuilding Vancouver Canucks. But it’s easy enough to be excited about a rebuild at…
Canucks: What would an Elias Pettersson to Pittsburgh trade look like?
The 2026 NHL offseason seems to be taking a bit of a breather from its breakneck pace to await the results of the Leo Carlsson offer sheet. But based on everything we’ve seen so far, we’d hazard a guess that the action isn’t anywhere close to finished yet, and that there are still a few…
