The Vancouver Canucks bottomed out this season. Sitting with 52 points with five games to play, they're dead last in the entire NHL and are on pace for the worst season the franchise has seen in well over 50 years... since their second or third year of existence, in the early '70s. Sounds like a team in need of a full rebuild, doesn't it? But according to Thomas Drance in The Athletic , the Canucks are willing to trade some of their higher-end draft picks this June in order t...
The Vancouver Canucks season has not gone well, to say the least. How much of it can be placed at the feet of first-year head coach Adam Foote? That is the big question facing Canucks management as the season winds down in the coming week. How disastrous has the Canucks' season been? They won't even reach double-digits in wins at home. They are 8-27-5 at Rogers Arena, with just one game to play there. Overall, at 22-47-8 for 52 points, they're dead last in the entire NHL—by nearly 20 points!—i...
With the Vancouver Canucks rebuilding, it is unlikely that forward Evander Kane will be back with them next season. The 34-year-old winger is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) and should generate interest if he hits the market. Because of this, let's take a look at three teams that could look to sign Kane this summer. Tampa Bay Lightning The Lightning should be looking to add to their forward depth this offseason. Their bottom six could use a boost, and Kane would provide the...
Back at the trade deadline, Jake DeBrusk told anyone who'd listen that he wasn't interested in being part of a rebuild. He wanted out of Vancouver, and the Canucks were trying to oblige. Unfortunately, at the time, there was no interest around the league. It's quite likely that will change in the summer. Teams that are looking for an offensive boost in their middle six will look at that $5.5 million cap hit, and figure that's about as reasonable as it gets in the new cap environme...
The Vancouver Canucks are officially in a rebuild and will be a big team to watch during the offseason because of it. One of their biggest trade candidates is forward Elias Pettersson, as it is no secret that the 27-year-old is in need of a change of scenery. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire the former 102-point center this summer. Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings desperately need another top-six center, so they could be a team to watch when it comes...
The Boston Bruins should be looking to add at least one top-six winger to their roster during the offseason. It is clear that they could use more skill in their top six, so it could be a busy summer for the Black and Gold. Because of this, let's look at three wingers who the Bruins should strongly consider targeting during the offseason. Brock Boeser, Vancouver Canucks With the Canucks being in a full rebuild, the possibility of Boeser being moved during the summer is certainly the...
The Minnesota Wild picked a good time to find another gear: With back-to-back wins over the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators, Minnesota strengthened its playoff position while showing the kind of balance, depth, and composure that can carry over into the postseason. They won each game different...
From Seattle to Calgary to Kanata, with the final score getting worse as you go!
The Winnipeg Jets have taken a notable step back this season, and it could lead to them being aggressive during the offseason. With the Jets' top stars being in their primes, Winnipeg should be looking to bolster this roster this summer. One of their biggest needs is another top-six winger, as they never properly replaced Nikolaj Ehlers. Because of this, let's look at three wingers who the Jets should consider pursuing this offseason. Jake DeBrusk, Vancouver Canucks The Canucks are...
The Vancouver Canucks have secured the best NHL Draft lottery odds to select Gavin McKenna, and heading into this offseason, there's going to be a slew of moves made by Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford. The Canucks had a disastrous season in 2025-26, which was certainly capped off by Quinn Hughes being dealt to the Minnesota Wild, and the fact they weren't able to move Elias Pettersson. Hughes recently admitted the team started to crumble once they moved J.T Miller to New York, which led to th...
That's Wild
Wild star defenseman Quinn Hughes is going to be facing his former team for the first time since being traded to Minnesota, as the Vancouver Canucks come to visit. It's been a total of 42 games played for the Wild since the blockbuster move and now it's time for some closure.

The Avalanche would go at it without stud-defender Cale Makar, who sustained an upper-body injury in Colorado’s last contest against the Calgary Flames. Vancouver came to town looking to get back into […]

The Vancouver Canucks have had an awful 2025-26 season, and it has led the team to begin a rebuild. They traded away multiple notable players this campaign, and it has the potential to carry over to the summer. Brock Boeser will be a potential trade candidate to watch during the summer. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Boeser this offseason. Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings could be a team to watch when it comes to Boeser this offseason.

The Colorado Avalanche will welcome the Vancouver Canucks to Ball Arena tonight for a Western Conference matchup. As the NHL regular season nears its end, Colorado’s magic number is six points (three wins) to win the Presidents’ Trophy, and the team is currently leading the race for last place in the league.

It was reported today that the Vancouver Canucks will be missing forward Evander Kane in the lineup today. Kane is a two-way forward who has made himself a viable top-six forward for multiple teams during the years, and found a home in Vancouver after being traded from the Edmonton Oilers for a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. The injury Kane is suffering from has been undisclosed, and the team whose undergoing a retool will miss his presence tonight. His...

It was a milestone night for a former Edmonton Oilers forward. Evander Kane, 34, dressed in the 1,000th game of his NHL career, becoming the 420th player to do so. He’ll hit the mark playing for his hometown Vancouver Canucks as they pay a visit to the Vegas Golden Knights. 161 of Kane’s games came…
We could be looking at a Black Monday situation when the NHL's 2025-26 regular season comes to a close, according to Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos. He writes today that three general managers are finding their jobs in jeopardy as we head down the stretch, and all are fearing the pink slip. Toronto, New Jersey and Vancouver are all playing out the string, already out of the playoff race, and needing to consider deep changes throughout their organizations. With less than three weeks...
Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi was the subject of trade rumors leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. While he ended up staying put, there is an expectation that the Hurricanes will listen to offers for him during the summer. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Kotkaniemi this offseason. Vancouver Canucks The Canucks were connected to Kotkaniemi this season, and it would not be too surprising if they pursued him during the summer. T...
Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for the major mistakes he made while playing the game. One of the things that I forgot, though, was t...
One of the biggest names to watch this coming offseason on the trade market is undoubtedly Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson. With six more years to run on his $92.8 million contract ($11.6M AAV), an extremely intriguing situation could unfold. Which teams can afford to take on a cap hit like that, and which teams are willing to gamble that they can get Pettersson back to his 102-point form of three years ago? For the second straight season, EP40 is having an extremely disa...
The Vancouver Canucks have made a roster move, as they have signed defenseman Victor Mancini to a two-year, $2 million contract extension.

The Florida Panthers were outclassed 5-2 by Elias Pettersson, who scored twice on the man-advantage to reach 200 career goals, and the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place.
Pettersson halted a 20-game drought when he smacked Marco Rossi’s crossing pass by Sergei Bobrovsky 3:49 after opening puck drop. Brock Boeser drew the second helper on the power-play goal, which came with Dmitry Kulikov off for hooking.
The Panthers evened it up at 11:41 when Carter Verhaeghe blocked off Petter...
