Trade tree: Re-examining the Canucks’ Erik Gudbranson for Jared McCann deal a decade later
It was 10 years ago last month that the Vancouver Canucks shipped Jared McCann and a pair of draft picks to the Florida Panthers for Erik Gudbranson. The Canucks needed size and toughness on their blueline, and then general manager Jim Benning walked right into the trap the Panthers had set for him. Gudbranson…

On Thursday’s episode of Canucks Conversation, David Quadrelli and Harman Dayal were joined by Oilersnation’s Baggedmilk to discuss the Edmonton Oilers’ reported interest in Mike Babcock and why the potential hire has left many fans scratching their heads. Baggedmilk admitted he shouldn’t have been surprised by the development, but that didn’t make it any…

Welcome back to NHL Notebook — the series here at CanucksArmy where we deliver you news and notes from around the National Hockey League — oftentimes through a Vancouver Canucks-tinted lens! With the rising cap to come over the next few years, the NHL’s flat-cap era is officially behind us. As a result, we don’t see a…
Patrik Allvin raves about Kraken’s practice facility
It seems that even when someone moves on, the conversation about the Vancouver Canucks‘ practice facility – or, better yet, the lack thereof – persists. On Thursday, Seattle Kraken general manager Jason Botterill announced that the team has hired former Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin to serve as one of the team’s assistant general managers. In…
Kraken hire ex-Canucks GM Patrik Allvin as assistant GM
It did not take long for former Vancouver Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin to find his next job as an NHL executive. On Thursday morning, the Seattle Kraken announced they have hired Patrik Allvin as an assistant general manager. In the same announcement, the Kraken hired Pascal Vincent as an assistant coach on Lane…
5 high-upside players the Canucks could target with pick 24 at the 2026 NHL Draft
The Vancouver Canucks enter the 2026 NHL Draft with a top-three selection, and with it comes a level of certainty that simply doesn’t exist later in that same round. The names at the top of the board are familiar, and teams are generally splitting hairs from the same handful of players. But once you…
Another round of expansion is coming, will the rebuilding Canucks be ready?
Dread it, run from it, another expansion draft arrives, all the same. There has been speculation about the next round of NHL expansion ever since the last round concluded with the introduction of the Seattle Kraken. And while many would prefer that the league stick at 32 teams – or that it had never…
WDYTT: Should the Canucks keep or trade Elias Pettersson this offseason?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet with a surplus of exclamation marks! Speaking of surpluses, if the Vancouver Canucks have a surplus of anything, it’s players named Elias Pettersson. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re selling them. Obviously, the question of what to do with the senior Elias…
Senators among teams that have shown interest in Canucks forward Jake DeBrusk: report
It has been a busy first month on the job for new Vancouver Canucks general manager Ryan Johnson, who has had to find executives to work alongside him and identify the team’s next head coach. He will then have to worry about the draft, and after that, what to do with some of the veteran…
Would a Troy Stecher reunion make sense for the Canucks?
There’s never been a bad time for a Troy from Richmond reunion. But the perfect time might be now. The last time Troy Stecher played for the Vancouver Canucks, he was an up-and-coming defender repping his hometown. Now, he’s a 32-year-old veteran with loads of NHL experience. His career has taken him to stops…
3 players the Canucks need to provide ample opportunity for in 2026-27
You’ve read and heard plenty about the Vancouver Canucks‘ youngsters. When the rebuild truly began following the Quinn Hughes trade, the Canucks added three players under the age of 25 to their roster, including two players who were first-round picks not that long ago: Zeev Buium and Liam Öhgren. The Canucks gave Öhgren penalty…
What would a Dylan Larkin trade mean for the Canucks and Elias Pettersson?
A lot of the talk centred on the Vancouver Canucks’ offseason has been about the future of Elias Pettersson. Given that a new regime has taken over, the team is in the early stages of a rebuild, and two straight disappointing seasons from their supposed star player. The question has been, what does the future…
Troy Stecher says he’d be interested in rejoining the Canucks
Troy Stecher knows the Vancouver Canucks’ new leadership group better than most unrestricted free agents. The Richmond-born defenceman broke into the NHL with the Canucks in 2016 after signing as an undrafted free agent out of the University of North Dakota. Now, with Stecher set to hit free agency this summer, the 32-year-old made…
10 items on the Canucks’ offseason to do list
The hockey world never really rests. Oh sure, some general managers try to schedule downtime for a few weeks in August, but even then they’re never really far from their phones. In the case of the Vancouver Canucks, with a new front office taking over in late May, there is a long list of items…
A look back at the last 5 Canucks GM’s first draft selections
For a new general manager, the first draft pick can become an early statement of what they value most. It is often the first major opportunity to put a personal stamp on an organization, revealing how a front office evaluates talent, balances risk, and projects the future. In Vancouver, those decisions have produced a wide…
Canucks won’t renew Dale Tallon’s contract at the end of June
On Monday, fans noticed that Dale Tallon had been removed from the Vancouver Canucks‘ staff page.

Do the Canucks need to shop for defensive help in free agency this summer?
In the infancy of a full-blown rebuild, the Vancouver Canucks have a decision to make. Should they be shopping for veteran help on the blueline when the National Hockey League free agent window opens on July 1st? Or should they move forward with the players they already have on their roster and in their system?…
What is the goaltending market heading into the offseason, and do the Canucks want to access it?
The Vancouver Canucks do not have a goaltending crisis on their hands, at least not by their usual standards. But they do have three goaltenders on hand at the NHL level heading into the 2026-27 season, and that’s going to, at the very least, force them into a decision of some sort sooner rather than…
Should the Canucks move Thatcher Demko before his trade protection kicks in?
Thatcher Demko’s future is one of the more interesting questions of the Vancouver Canucks’ offseason. If the Canucks wanted to make a move, there is still a window. Demko’s three-year, $25.5 million extension begins in 2026-27, carrying an $8.5 million cap hit through 2028-29. According to PuckPedia, the deal also comes with full no-movement protection…
Inside Manny Malhotra’s systems: How the Abbotsford Canucks’ tactics may adapt to Vancouver
When Ryan Johnson was named the 13th general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, it seemed almost inevitable he would bring in his Calder Cup-winning head coach, Manny Malhotra, as the new bench boss.

According to his agent, the Vancouver Canucks have inquired on Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher, in what may be this new regime’s first trade.

What the recent history of the Canucks’ slate of draft picks means for their future
In the long term, and in the grand scheme of things, the 2026 NHL Entry Draft might not prove to be the most important draft in the ongoing rebuild of the Vancouver Canucks. But it is, at the very least, the first draft since said rebuild was declared, and it is undoubtedly an occasion of…
