Where will the Canucks be at in six years (when Macklin Celebrini could hit free agency)?
For some, the plan is already set in stone. After completing his recently signed five-year extension, Macklin Celebrini will become an unrestricted free agent. And with no restrictions, he’ll obviously choose to sign in his hometown of Vancouver at that time. Probably at a discount, too, especially after his buddy Connor Bedard signed there the…

Between the two Pacific Northwest clubs sits Shane Wright, a 22-year-old centre whose representatives have asked Seattle to find him a new team. Vancouver has contacted the Kraken about Wright; the…
One unforeseen benefit of the rising cap for the Canucks could be better players available on waivers
The NHL’s salary cap was at least in part an attempt to promote league parity. Sure, it was probably always about controlling expenditures as much as anything, but the parity angle was a part of it. And, for a while there, the league did achieve a greater level of evenness. The recent surge in…
Canucks: What NHL history tells us about Elias Pettersson’s decline
After only his rookie season, few doubted Elias Pettersson would become a longtime NHL superstar. Wayne Gretzky said after Pettersson’s first year in the NHL that his raw hockey IQ and playmaking ability reminded him of himself and Sidney Crosby. In Pettersson’s first six NHL seasons, he won the Calder Trophy, made four NHL All-Star…

Does Canucks’ prospect Braeden Cootes have inside track to captain Canada at 2027 World Juniors?
When he suited up for Canada at Wednesday night’s World Junior Summer Showcase against Sweden, Braeden Cootes wasn’t just the top centre on Team Canada’s depth chart. The Vancouver Canucks prospect was also wearing the captain’s C. Sure, it’s only a late-July game at a quasi-competitive tournament where the outcomes matter far less than…

How contracts like Jake DeBrusk’s have gained relative value after another round of free agency
The NHL salary cap has been going through a growth spurt lately. After the cap ceiling had been frozen at $81.5 million for three straight years from 2019-20 through to 2021-22, the league exited the ‘flat cap era’ with a modest increase to $82.5 million as of 2022-23. The next year, it went up to…

Trade Trees: Long before he joined Canucks, Linus Karlsson was once swapped for Lou Lamoriello
The trade that brought Linus Karlsson to the Vancouver Canucks is pretty straightforward and has proven to be a solid transaction for the hockey club. In February 2019, the Canucks acquired the now 26-year-old right-winger from San Jose in a one-for-one swap for Jonathan Dahlen. Now, Dahlen was supposed to be a prized piece…

How good are the newest Canucks at dropping the gloves?
The Vancouver Canucks might not score as many goals these days as they have in years past. But they do have goals these days, and that’s probably more important in the long run. One of the Canucks’ stated goals has been to get both tougher to play against and just plain tougher in general. This…
