In what was perhaps a glimpse into the future, the Vancouver Canucks skated at Britannia Community Centre on the city’s east side Friday morning. Weekend concerts forced the team out of its Rogers Arena home base. So the players shifted the site of their informal on-ice workout to what one day may be the club’s…
To preface, this series is called Bold Predictions for a reason! While there may not be any expectation that Elias Pettersson reaches the 80-point mark for the third time in his career this year, it is not entirely unfeasible. Elias Pettersson is a good hockey player. He is, ostensibly, a great hockey player, actually….
There are a couple of interesting things happening around the Vancouver Canucks right now that don’t necessarily scream “big news.” Trey Fix-Wolansky trying to make the roster isn’t going to…
Success can be a tough thing to measure for a rebuilding franchise, and short-term success doubly so. But the 2026-27 season, the first season for the Vancouver Canucks under the leadership of GM Ryan Johnson, is going to be judged through this complicated lens all the same. Last week, in our weekly WDYTT or…
Luke Evangelista didn’t see the trade coming — bags packed for Nashville, flight booked, the whole thing flipped in an […]
After a large 30-player scrimmage on Wednesday, the Vancouver Canucks split into two separate groups for Thursday’s session at Rogers Arena. What we saw The first session consisted of: Brock Boeser, Zeev Buium, Filip Chytil, Paul Cotter, Jake DeBrusk, Filip Hronek, Linus Karlsson, Drew O’Connor, Jamie Oleksiak, Elias Pettersson (D), Aatu Räty, and Max…
One way or another, we’re inching closer to the next captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Or, perhaps, to an acknowledged lack thereof. Traditionally, captain announcements happen at one of two times. It’s either at some sort of preseason press conference, like with Quinn Hughes, or it’s at a pre-game ceremony at the team’s first home…
Change is constant in professional sport, and when you’re the 32nd-place team in the 32-team National Hockey League like the Vancouver Canucks, it only stands to reason that there would be significant roster reconstruction year over year. With the Canucks returning to the ice at Rogers Arena this week, it seemed like a good time…
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet that has never increased its prices. Speaking of increasing, it’s not really something that folks are counting on the Vancouver Canucks doing as a team in this upcoming 2026-27 season. Most would be pretty happy if the majority of the Canucks growth was…
It was a very well-attended summer skate for the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday at Rogers Arena. All the usual suspects, as well as some Abbotsford Canucks players, were partaking in the on-ice session. The total count in attendance came to 30 players, 27 skaters and three goaltenders. What we saw The session started with…
The Vancouver Canucks hit the ice for the third consecutive day at Rogers Arena for their offseason summer skates as they ramp up for training camp in Penticton beginning in just over two weeks. It was a well-attended session, with the majority of Canucks players on the ice participating. One of those players was Filip…
Former Vancouver Canucks winger Evander Kane is looking for a new team to play for, and his latest off-ice controversy might signal the end of his NHL career.
Welcome back to Blackfish: our weekly Vancouver Canucks prospect report. Look at us, we finally made it. It may only be exhibition hockey, but we have actual results to talk about in this week’s instalment. Preseason action in the CHL kicked off this week, while a handful of prospects were busy overseas taking part in…
Everyone knows Thatcher Demko can be an elite goalie when fully healthy. And with the tides hopefully turning in his favour with a healthy season ahead, we could see Demko make steps towards a return to his former self. A valuable asset to any team when in top form, our bold prediction is that Demko…
Training camp prep is underway for the Vancouver Canucks, and while most of the attention this week has gone to the young guys getting their first real look at NHL…
Have you ever taken a social media sabbatical? You should really think about it. Admittedly, I did open Instagram and Twitter/X a handful of times while I was on vacation. I wanted some information, after all. I didn’t really go anywhere — BC’s Okanagan is a beautiful place, and I did get out that…
The Vancouver Canucks returned to the ice on Monday at Rogers Arena as they look to ramp up before the season starts in less than a month. For the 2026-27 season, there are four new additions to the squad: Brendan Gallagher, Paul Cotter, Jamie Oleksiak, and Luke Schenn. For Schenn, this isn’t the first…
After two years on the Sportsnet panel as an analyst for the Vancouver Canucks, Landon Ferraro has found a new gig. On Tuesday morning, TSN PR announced that Ferraro will be joining the network as an analyst for the Winnipeg Jets. Announcing the latest addition to the @TSNHockey team, @LandonFerraro! 🎉 Landon joins @TSN_Sports…
Considering where he started the season last year, one could argue that no forward was more impressive throughout the Vancouver Canucks’ 2026-27 campaign than Linus Karlsson. Coming off a great playoff run in Abbotsford, where he was the leading scorer on a Calder Cup-winning team, Karlsson came into last year just hoping to make the…
Jake DeBrusk had a tough 2025-26 season. He went public late in the season and admitted that playing on a rebuilding team is not his idea of a good time. A trade has been in the offing ever since, though it's been relatively quiet on that front during the summer. But now that hockey season is fast approaching, a DeBrusk trade will be back on the menu for the Vancouver Canucks at some point. However, as noted by Thomas Drance of The Athletic this past week, his trade value is not at...
