How the Canucks could use double retention to cash in on Brendan Gallagher at the deadline
One of the worst-kept secrets in the NHL stopped being a secret earlier this week. The Montreal Canadiens closed a deal with the Vancouver Canucks to send veteran winger Brendan Gallagher back to his BC roots, something that had been rumoured to occur for months now.

Free agency kicks off tomorrow morning, and in previous years there’s been lots of excitement and anticipation leading up to July 1st, particularly for fans hoping the Vancouver Canucks will go big game hunting.

7 free agents the Canucks could target that fit Ryan Johnson’s vision
We blinked, and the 2026 NHL Draft is behind us, and free agency officially kicks off tomorrow. Although, it doesn’t project to be as exciting as we’re used to seeing – at least, on the actual free agency front. It could very well be active in the trade market, but given the weak free-agent pool,…
What the Canucks are getting in second round pick Niklas Aaram-Olsen
The second second-round pick the Vancouver Canucks made in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft was Niklas Aaram-Olsen at 41st overall. It was clear from the three picks ahead of him that the Canucks entered this draft with a plan, a mould for the players that they wanted – and Aaram-Olsen is a swing at the…

Given that the rebuild wasn’t officially announced until partway through last season, the 2026 NHL Entry Draft was the first in a new era of Vancouver Canucks hockey.

Why size mattered for the Canucks at the 2026 NHL Entry Draft | Wagner’s Weekly
