Speedy Sasson believes he’s faster than ever as he prepares for fourth Canucks training camp
In each of his previous three training camps in the Vancouver Canucks organization, Max Sasson has done his best to make a mark at centre ice. But as last season unfolded, the 26-year-old was shifted to left wing and seemed to find his footing. Sasson scored 13 goals in 66 National Hockey League games –…

WDYTT: How do you feel about Ryan Johnson’s first offseason as Canucks GM?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet that is intended to be read while listening to Earth, Wind & Fire. Speaking of September, it’s finally here.

What Fraser Minten’s new deal with Bruins tells us about Liam Öhgren’s next Canucks contract
When one contract negotiation ends, there’s little time for the front office to celebrate. It’s time to work on the next deal. In the Vancouver Canucks’ case, the next man up is Liam Öhgren. Once considered the throw-in piece in last year’s Quinn Hughes trade, Öhgren made a decent first impression during his first half-season…
‘I’m falling in love with this city’: Canucks’ Jake DeBrusk says he hasn’t asked for a trade
Jake DeBrusk wants to make one thing clear: he hasn’t asked the Vancouver Canucks for a trade. In conversation with Sportsnet’s Iain MacIntyre, DeBrusk was emphatic in setting the record straight that he hasn’t asked for a trade from the Canucks. “I want to say this on the record: I have not asked for a…
Sportsnet to broadcast 33 Canucks games nationally; Friedman and Bieksa returning to ‘Saturday Night Hockey’
On Wednesday morning, Sportsnet PR shared their new scheduling plans for the 2026-27 NHL season. The broadcast station announced it will show over 550 games this season, including 150 regional blackouts lifted. But the biggest news came in their sub-post, when they announced their crew of analysts for their two nights of broadcasts. Replacing…
8 waiver wire targets the Canucks could use their #1 waiver priority on
Finishing 32nd in the NHL comes with few consolations for the Vancouver Canucks, but one of them is about to become useful. Under the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), waiver priority before Nov. 1 is determined by the previous season’s final standings, leaving Vancouver atop the NHL’s waiver order when teams begin trimming their training…
Canucks: A look at how Zeev Buium’s contract extension compares to other young NHL defencemen
On Friday afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks signed Zeev Buium to an eight-year contract extension worth $9.38 million. We’re fans of the deal, and view it as a sharp bet for the rebuilding Canucks to make on a young defenceman who hasn’t lived up to expectations just yet but features a profile that could see…

The Canucks’ three-year mulligan: A bet on keeping Quinn Hughes happy
When a team goes from one win away from the Western Conference Final to the very bottom of the NHL standings within three seasons, it’s safe to say there were a few managerial errors committed. The Vancouver Canucks’ last trio of seasons has seen the team transformed in nearly every way imaginable. From the…
The Canucks’ abundance of cap space should mean frequent and varied call-ups from Abbotsford in 2026-27
In less than two weeks time, the Vancouver Canucks will begin their truncated training camp and preseason for the 2026-27 campaign. And while things could obviously happen during that interim, it seems most likely that the Canucks’ camp roster is essentially set at this point, and that their financial books are about where they will…
JPat’s Monday Mailbag: Would you do the Quinn Hughes trade today?
Hopefully you have made the most of the final long weekend of summer. The days are getting shorter, but the trade-off is that hockey is drawing nearer. And two weeks from now, the Vancouver Canucks will have completed their training camp and already opened their National Hockey League preseason. There will be plenty to digest…

On Saturday, the Kraken announced their rookie camp roster for the prospect showcase along with their roster for training camp to start the 2026-27 season. Their…
Jake Sanderson’s contract with Senators is a reasonable and optimistic comparable for Canucks’ Zeev Buium extension
Just when it seemed like the 2026 offseason was coming to an end, the Vancouver Canucks made their biggest move of the summer, signing Zeev Buium to an eight-year, $9.38 million AAV extension. It’s the second-largest contract in franchise history, the largest ever handed to a Canucks defender, and, for now, one of the largest…
Zeev Buium isn’t just a smart bet for the Canucks, he’s a necessary one
Just a couple of weeks out from Training Camp 2026, the Vancouver Canucks made one of the largest signings in franchise history, both in terms of the size of the contract and its potential importance. Zeev Buium, the centrepiece of the Quinn Hughes return and still just 20 years old heading into his second NHL…
Why the Canucks should sign the younger Elias Pettersson to as long a contract as possible, too
At this point, we’re a good six months away from the 2027 NHL Trade Deadline. But there’s another deadline coming this year, and it’s coming before the season, or even the preseason, begins. September 15, 2026 marks the date at which the newest CBA changes the maximum term limits of contracts. Prior to that…
Canucks goalie prospect Aleksei Medvedev struggles in preseason match vs. Victoria Royals
It wasn’t a banner draft plus-one season for Vancouver Canucks goaltending prospect Aleksei Medvedev. He struggled early on and lost the starter’s crease as a result. However, in an interview with CanucksArmy at Canucks development camp, Medvedev shared his positive view on his down season, saying that he felt learning from that adversity early…
Canucks’ Johnson embraces new reality of NHL economics with Buium mega deal
Like most in the hockey world, Vancouver Canucks general manager Ryan Johnson has been forced to wrap his head around the new economic realities that have emerged in an escalating salary cap era. But rather than get bogged down by the monumental numbers being attached to new contracts this summer, Johnson has tried wherever possible…
Lekkerimäki feels fully healthy and excited to test surgically repaired shoulder at Canucks camp
It’s early September, but the Vancouver Canucks already have a win to celebrate – and not just the Zeev Buium extension. The fact that Jonathan Lekkerimäki is on the ice with his teammates and a fully active participant in captain’s skates this week is good news for both the player and the organization. There is…
Why the Zeev Buium contract is a great bet for the Canucks in multiple different ways
The Vancouver Canucks are betting that Zeev Buium’s best hockey is still ahead of him, and that waiting to find out would have made the 20-year-old defenceman much more expensive. That distinction makes Friday’s deal much easier to like. Buium is coming off a rookie season with six goals and 26 points in 76…
‘It wasn’t a hard decision’: Zeev Buium on signing his eight-year extension with the Canucks
Zeev Buium has chosen Vancouver. He may not have been drafted by the Vancouver Canucks, but when he was given the first choice of his career, he chose to stay in the place that acquired him less than a year ago. Sure, the organization may not be in a position to contend for a…
Instant Reaction to Zeev Buium’s extension with the Canucks
In typical Vancouver Canucks fashion, the organization makes a major announcement on a Friday afternoon, signing Zeev Buium to an eight-year, $75.04 million extension. Our initial thoughts when we saw this hit our news feed were, “Wow.” Fans don’t often see the Canucks take this forward-thinking approach on an unproven player. Kudos to GM Ryan…
Canucks extend Zeev Buium to an eight-year, $9.38M AAV contract
A few days before the NHL’s new Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to kick in, the Vancouver Canucks extended a bright piece of their future to what may be the last eight-year contract in the league.
