But their No. 1 blueliner is still around, and Filip Hronek—with six years remaining on his eight-year deal—fully intends to keep it that way. An absolute bargain these days, at a $7.25 million cap hit, Hronek would be heavily in demand if the Canucks were ever to consider trading him. But that request won't be coming from him, as told to David Alter of The Hockey News . We like the city, and obviously the fans...

Welcome to a new series here at CanucksArmy, where over the month of August we’ll ask a new question each day about the Vancouver Canucks. We’re calling it “31 days, 31 questions”.

The Vancouver Canucks have a big decision to make on Zeev Buium. At 20 years old, the defenceman has one year left on his entry-level contract and can sign an extension now. Vancouver would probably prefer to get a deal done before he has a chance to raise his price, but Buium may have other…

This list is reserved for…

Brock Boeser has been a Vancouver Canuck for 10 years now. But as a pending UFA, his time in Vancouver seemed to be coming to an end entering last summer, until the two sides surprisingly re-upped on the first day of free agency on a seven-year extension with a $7.25M AAV.
