Filip Hronek’s agent says NHL expansion is coming to Houston and Atlanta
Allan Walsh has never really been one to mince words. The agent of Vancouver Canucks defenceman Filip Hronek — and a long list of other NHL clients — took to Twitter/X on Thursday evening to offer up a bit of information regarding NHL expansion. “NHL expansion is coming. Houston and Atlanta,” Walsh wrote in…
Another year of growth is the goal and expectation for Tom Willander in 2026-27
Tom Willander’s rookie season with the Vancouver Canucks was full of ups and downs. That’s to be expected, though, for a young defenceman. The team was terrible, and the defensive environment on the ice was not conducive to success. However, there were positives to take away from his first season. For starters, Willander wasn’t…
31 days, 31 questions: Who might be getting forgotten about in Canucks’ 2026-27 roster talk?
No matter how long the hockey-less summer gets, no matter how deep into the dog days we are, there’s always something more to talk about in the world of the Vancouver Canucks, and there’s always something not being talked about. Even though we’ve spent hours upon hours talking about the potential roster for the Canucks…
31 days, 31 questions: Who is going to play with Elias Pettersson?

Can Linus Karlsson take another step forward after strong rookie season?
Let Linus Karlsson play. That seems like it should be one of Manny Malhotra’s mantras in his first season as Vancouver Canucks head coach. Not only is Malhotra familiar with Karlsson’s game from their fruitful time together in Abbotsford, but with his play last season, the 26-year-old Swede has earned more opportunities to show…
Why has the last month been so slow for the Vancouver Canucks?
To say that the Vancouver Canucks have had a slow offseason wouldn’t just be a misstatement; it’d be an outright inaccuracy. Since officially closing out the 2025-26 campaign, the Canucks have changed most of their front office, replaced their coaching staff, drafted nine players, signed eleven contracts, and completed four trades. That’s plenty of…
WDYTT: Who is the current fan favourite Canuck?

31 days, 31 questions: Would Zeev Buium even want to sign a longer-term contract with the Canucks?
We’ve seen a trend developing around the National Hockey League: Young players are getting paid coming off their entry-level contracts.

Increasing shot volume should be main goal for Brock Boeser in 2026-27
Despite enduring a career-long 21-game goal drought last season, Brock Boeser can still beat NHL goaltenders. The question facing him this season is how often the Vancouver Canucks can put him in position to do so. Should Vancouver’s rebuild eventually push him toward considering a move to a playoff contender, any deal would require…

Trade Trees: Tracking the many twists and turns of Canucks acquiring Christian Ehrhoff
When the Vancouver Canucks managed to pry Christian Ehrhoff from the San Jose Sharks in the summer of 2009, it was one of the first examples of the hockey club pouncing on an opponent in salary cap peril. At that stage, the Sharks simply had too many other good players making too much money, which…
