NHL releases Canucks’ full 84-game 2026-27 NHL schedule
On Wednesday, the NHL announced home opener dates for all 32 NHL teams. For the Vancouver Canucks, it’s going to be back-to-back matchups with the Edmonton Oilers. The first one goes down in Edmonton on September 29th, before the two clubs meet again on October 1st for the Canucks’ home opener at Rogers Arena. …

Sam Neill was probably my first non-cartoon idol. When I was really young, I'd tell people I wanted to be a paleontologist, but really I just wanted to be Dr. Alan Grant. Growing up to learn he was even cooler off the screen was really something. RIP to a legend.

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…

Offseason roster churn leaves Canucks no choice but to develop new penalty killing forwards
Offseason roster churn leaves Canucks no choice but to develop new penalty killing forwards
The Vancouver Canucks don’t play a game until early October, so this isn’t a problem quite yet. But given the way their roster is currently constructed, the hockey club seems to be lacking capable, competent penalty killing forwards. Four of the top eight busiest penalty killing forwards on last year’s roster no longer play for…

Sounds like the Carlsson offer sheet is maximum signing bonus and front loading permitted. This deal was led by Ryan Keator who recently became a partner in WIN Hockey. Impressive first contract as the lead agent! https://puckpedia.com/agent/matt-keator

Grading each of the Canucks’ free agent signings and trades
It was a busier July 1st than most expected it would be for the Vancouver Canucks. As expected, they made their depth signings, added some veteran leadership, but the real savvy move and what ultimately has everyone looking favourably on Ryan Johnson’s work on July 1st, 2026 is the Marcus Pettersson trade, and the…

Tired: The Canucks offer-sheeting Connor Bedard. Wired: The Canucks tanking for one more year, adding another top prospect, and then offer-sheeting Macklin Celebrini.
An offseason for the ages. Funny that it is the Flyers again. The 14-year offer sheet they made to Shea Weber just expired on July 1. Now, two days later...

Ryan Johnson’s first moves as Canucks GM a refreshing shift in asset management
Ryan Johnson’s first moves as Canucks GM a refreshing shift in asset management
Let’s just come right out and say it. The Vancouver Canucks have not always been well-managed over the past decade or so. And if there’s been a particular weakness of the last two managerial regimes, led by the Jims Benning and Rutherford, it’s been asset management. The Canucks faithful are all too familiar with…

An attempt at an early July depth chart for the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks
What a difference a week can make. The 2026 NHL Entry Draft and the 2026 Free Agent Frenzy happened within days of one another, and represented the first opportunities for GM Ryan Johnson and co-POHOs Henrik and Daniel Sedin to make their mark on the team. So far, most would say, so good. Johnson and…

The return on Marcus Pettersson is the Rangers' 2030 first rounder, top-10 protected. #Canucks
I wonder if, with Marcus Pettersson on the way to the New York Rangers, the Canucks look to sign one of the remaining UFA LDs to another one-year deal.

How the Canucks could use double retention to cash in on Brendan Gallagher at the deadline
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. It had been somewhat expected that Gallagher would come…

Mark my words: the Florida Panthers will not pay any sort of recapture penalty on any of these contracts. The NHL will find a way to let them out of each and every potential consequence, I guarantee it.

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. And now that we’re on the other side of it, one can’t be too displeased about the results. As far as kickstarting a rebuild goes, this was…

The Vancouver Canucks have acquired forward Brendan Gallagher from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for future considerations, according to multiple reports. According to NHL Insider Chris Johnston, the Canadiens are retaining 50% of Gallagher’s contract, which has one season left on it at a $6.5 million cap hit. There have been plenty of rumours…

So cool we had to throw to an AI gambling ad instead of seeing the Calgary Flames draft Jarome Iginla's kid.
