Welcome back to WWYDW, the only hockey column on the internet that was trained by an older, more experienced hockey column on a boat at sea.   Speaking of mentor-ships, that pun is terrible, and we apologize for it.

Braeden Cootes’ maturity shines through at Canucks Development Camp

Braeden Cootes arrived at Vancouver Canucks Development Camp another year older and another year wiser.   One of the “veterans” at camp in Abbotsford, the 19-year-old was quick to clarify that he’s “still a younger guy”, a laugh for both him and the local media. But it’s clear he has the mentality of a much…

The Vancouver Canucks have gone six months without a captain following the trade of Quinn Hughes, their longest such stint since Henrik Sedin retired.

Dhaliwal: Canucks approached Kraken about Shane Wright; ask was ‘very high’

After a disappointing Calder…
