Why fired staff being hired elsewhere is a benefit to the Canucks

6 high-ceiling swings the Canucks could target in the second round of 2026 NHL Draft
You’ve heard it all season, but this year’s draft contains little to no consensus.

And holding selections at 24th and 33rd…

WWYDW: Pick just one UFA for the Canucks to sign this offseason
Welcome back to WWYDW, the only hockey column on the internet still broadcast on UHF. Speaking of UHF, another initialism that starts with a ‘U’ is UFA, as in unrestricted free agency.

What do the Canucks really need out of free agency this year?
The annual Free Agent Frenzy is nearly upon us. As a rebuilding franchise, the Vancouver Canucks are primarily focused on building through the draft, and so the majority of the focus from fans and media has been on the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, scheduled to begin on June 26, 2026. But less than a week…

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 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.
