Welcome back to NHL Notebook — the series here at Daily Faceoff Vancouver where we deliver you news and notes from around the National Hockey League — oftentimes through a Vancouver Canucks-tinted lens!

31 days, 31 questions: Can the other Canucks forwards learn something from the BRÖ line?
At the start of March 2025, the Vancouver Canucks had unplugged the life support on their season. They were firmly at the bottom of the NHL standings, the word “rebuild” had finally been uttered by then-President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford after trading Quinn Hughes, and overall, at that point, the organization did not have…

Can Elias Pettersson work his way into the Canucks’ top four in 2026-27?
The defenceman Elias Pettersson suffered a sophomore slump in his 2025-26 season; however, it’s impossible to say if that’s solely on him as a player after the poor season the Vancouver Canucks had as a whole. His game regressed all-around, but one can start to understand why that is given the play around him and…
Canucks: In which direction did the other lottery contenders move this offseason?
Everyone knows which direction the Vancouver Canucks are moving in. They not only announced and committed to a rebuild, they’ve lived that commitment ever since.

Establishing a clear-cut long-term NHL role is the goal for Aatu Räty in 2026-27
It’s true that Aatu Räty was drafted more than five years ago, at 52nd overall in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. It’s true that he’s since played 114 NHL games spread over parts of three seasons for the New York Islanders and the Vancouver Canucks. But at the same time, it also feels true that…

Which Canucks mid-to-late-round pick is most likely to succeed?: Wagner’s Weekly
The most important part of a rebuild is nailing your top-end draft picks, particularly those in the top ten. Vancouver Canucks fans are all too aware of how that can go wrong, as the team’s previous attempt at a rebuild was hindered by a couple of high-profile missteps. It is, of course, also nice…

Canucks will lean on Luke Schenn’s leadership in 2026-27
Coming into his third stint as a Vancouver Canuck, there are fairly high expectations for Luke Schenn from a character point of view, but little pressure otherwise. It’s a unique position to be in. Apart from being a fan-favourite Canuck, Schenn’s two previous tenures with the team could not have been more different. His…

Maintaining a role in the Canucks’ top six will be the goal for Liam Öhgren in 2026-27
Expectations might be a bit blown out of proportion for Liam Öhgren this upcoming season.
