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…
Where each ex-Canuck signed in NHL free agency
With July 1st now come and gone, the first two days of frenzy of NHL free agency have wrapped up. The Vancouver Canucks elected to pass on making any big splashes with UFA’s or trades, but they made a handful of moves to position themselves in the midst of their current rebuild. Vancouver played…
Breaking down the Canucks’ prospect pool post-2026 NHL Draft
The Vancouver Canucks made nine selections last week in the 2026 NHL Draft. Seven of those picks were used to bolster their forward group, adding one defenceman and goaltender as well. Coming into this year’s draft, the biggest need in the Canucks prospect pool was the centre position. Though they used their first-round pick…
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…
Caleb Malhotra reflects on wild week of NHL Draft and attending first Canucks development camp
The past eight days may have been the busiest of young Caleb Malhotra’s life. Since being selected third overall by the Vancouver Canucks in last Friday’s National Hockey League draft, Malhotra has flown cross-continent, gone whitewater rafting, spent time helping out at a food bank, heard presentations from members of the Canucks front office, and…
Cootes and Novotný shine in Canucks development camp scrimmages
It stands to reason that two of the three Vancouver Canucks first-rounders in attendance were among the best players in Thursday’s end-of-summer development camp scrimmages at Rogers Forum in Abbotsford. Braeden Cootes was by far the best player on the ice while Adam Novotný separated himself from the pack, as well. Cootes, the club’s…
Game Tape: A look at goaltending prospect Dmitri Ivchenko and how he fits the Canucks’ goalie mould
Whenever the Vancouver Canucks draft a goaltender, they usually follow a couple of key patterns. History often shows they pick 2-3 goalies over a few years, take a couple of seasons off, and then repeat. Those goalies are usually tall with a major emphasis on technique and structure, all pillars of the Ian Clark…
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…

3 thoughts on the Canucks’ moves on Day 1 of NHL free agency
