Prior to the start of the current 2026-27 season, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the NHL salary cap will rise to $127.5 million starting in the 2028-29 season.

‘It’s on us to prove them wrong’: Cotter embracing critics viewing Canucks as underdogs for 2026-27

Canucks: Why size and speed matter so much at centre in Manny Malhotra’s system
Manny Malhotra has made one thing increasingly clear with his deployment of the Vancouver Canucks’ centres: size and speed matter. Through the early part of the season, Elias Pettersson has unsurprisingly taken the most 5-on-5 shifts down the middle, playing 36:50 at centre, according to Natural Stat Trick. But right behind him is Paul…

After a full team day off Monday following back-to-back weekend games, the Vancouver Canucks returned to the practice ice at Rogers Arena Tuesday morning.

Could the Canucks get involved in a Simon Edvinsson trade?
In most years, Simon Edvinsson would be the biggest name to hit the trade market in the NHL. But this is 2026, the year of the wildest offseason in league history, and so, of course, Edvinsson isn’t even the only unsigned 25-and-under RFA holdout LD with top-pairing potential on the market right now. (Hello, Alexander…
Jonathan Lekkerimäki’s hot start to Canucks season all the more impressive given the context
Heading into 2026-27, Jonathan Lekkerimäki had not established himself as a full-time NHLer through two seasons and 37 games with the Vancouver Canucks. But he was treated as one all the same. New GM Ryan Johnson spoke throughout the offseason about Lekkerimäki getting a real chance to run with the Canucks this year, and heading…
Should the Canucks claim Flames forward Connor Zary off NHL waivers?
On Monday morning, the Calgary Flames put forward Connor Zary on waivers, along with defenceman Brayden Pachal. If both clear, the Flames will send them to their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers.

JPat’s Monday Mailbag: Can the Canucks push this pace of play for 84 games?

The Statsies: Jonathan Lekkerimäki leads Canucks in xGF% in loss to Golden Knights
Stuck around and made things interesting, at least. Canucks didn't handle the heavy Vegas pressure well at all, made a lot of mistakes due to it. Feels like a great game for the coach to use for video session and learn from. Still, kept it close and gave an honest effort against a very…
The Stanchies: Canucks can learn lessons in 3-2 loss to Golden Knights
Excuse me if this hurts my journalistic integrity by cussing, but that was a flipping good effort from the Vancouver Canucks in their 3-2 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.

It wasn’t the start to the season the Abbotsford Canucks had hoped for as Vancouver’s AHL affiliate kicked off its season on the road with back-to-back losses to the Calgary Wranglers. Both games ended in 4-2 losses, meaning rookie Head Coach Ryan Papaioannou will have to wait a bit longer for his first AHL…

‘Trying to play a hard game’: Canucks’ Pettersson explains early physical surgence
Over the past two seasons, all the talk surrounding Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson has been whether or not he can return to the offensive dynamo he once was. And with five points through the first three games of the 2026-27 season, it’s a pretty nice start for the 27-year-old. Along with those points,…

The Stanchies: Canucks rip four third period goals, Meriläinen shuts down Flames in 4-1 win
Last season, the Vancouver Canucks spent months looking for any sort of bright side to a horrible campaign. This year, we’re only three games in, but everything seems so much sunnier.
