Latest news and updates about the Canucks
It was a milestone night for a former Edmonton Oilers forward. Evander Kane, 34, dressed in the 1,000th game of his NHL career, becoming the 420th player to do so. He’ll hit the mark playing for his hometown Vancouver Canucks as they pay a visit to the Vegas Golden Knights. 161 of Kane’s games came…
We could be looking at a Black Monday situation when the NHL's 2025-26 regular season comes to a close, according to Sportsnet insider Nick Kypreos. He writes today that three general managers are finding their jobs in jeopardy as we head down the stretch, and all are fearing the pink slip. Toronto, New Jersey and Vancouver are all playing out the string, already out of the playoff race, and needing to consider deep changes throughout their organizations. With less than three weeks...
Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi was the subject of trade rumors leading up to the 2026 NHL trade deadline. While he ended up staying put, there is an expectation that the Hurricanes will listen to offers for him during the summer. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Kotkaniemi this offseason. Vancouver Canucks The Canucks were connected to Kotkaniemi this season, and it would not be too surprising if they pursued him during the summer. T...
Marty McSorley isn't a player that one forgets about thanks to his impact on the game when he played. The 62 year-old enforcer was a decent defenceman who was known more for throwing knuckles than making crisp passes, but he was memorable. Whether it was the illegal stick in the 1993 Stanley Cup Final or the stick-swinging incident against the Vancouver Canucks, McSorley may also be remembered for the major mistakes he made while playing the game. One of the things that I forgot, though, was t...
One of the biggest names to watch this coming offseason on the trade market is undoubtedly Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson. With six more years to run on his $92.8 million contract ($11.6M AAV), an extremely intriguing situation could unfold. Which teams can afford to take on a cap hit like that, and which teams are willing to gamble that they can get Pettersson back to his 102-point form of three years ago? For the second straight season, EP40 is having an extremely disa...
The Vancouver Canucks have made a roster move, as they have signed defenseman Victor Mancini to a two-year, $2 million contract extension. Starting next season, the 6-foot-3 blueliner will have a $1 million AAV.

The Florida Panthers were outclassed 5-2 by Elias Pettersson, who scored twice on the man-advantage to reach 200 career goals, and the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place. Pettersson halted a 20-game drought when he smacked Marco Rossi’s crossing pass by Sergei Bobrovsky 3:49 after opening puck drop. Brock Boeser drew the second helper on the power-play goal, which came with Dmitry Kulikov off for hooking. The Panthers evened it up at 11:41 when Carter Verhaeghe blocked off Petter...
After an uneven four-game road trip that started with promise and ended in frustration, the Oilers are back in Edmonton for a four-game homestand. First up on Sunday evening are the Nashville Predators, a team desperately in need of points after losing to the basement-dwelling Canucks earlier this week. Nashville Predators at Edmonton Oilers Date:…
The fallout from the confrontation between J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson has had far-reaching consequences. It arguably began the path the Vancouver Canucks are on, with a rebuild on the horizon, despite its unpopularity with Jim Rutherford and general manager Patrik Allvin. Miller was traded to the New York Rangers for Filip Chytil, Victor Mancini, and a 1st-round pick in Jan. 2025. Now, with Miller gone, defenseman and former Captain Quinn Hughes gone, the Canucks are i...
What is up with the Curious Case of Teddy Blueger and the Vancouver Canucks ? GM Patrik Allvin said after the trade deadline that he got 'no offers' for the veteran shutdown defensive center. But there are some, like Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, who don't believe that for a second. Blueger is a pending unrestricted free agent finishing up a very reasonable $1.8 million cap hit. He was expected to be one of the Vancouver sell-off pieces. But it didn't happen. Why? Could Teddy Blueger re...
The NHL Trade Deadline passed a week ago, but teams were still able to make trades until today, though any players involved are not eligible to play for their new teams the rest of this season or playoffs. That means AHL players can still move. And the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks have pulled off a swap of forwards. 🚨 An AHL-level TRADE 🚨 To Vancouver: F Jayden Grubbe To Edmonton: F Josh Bloom Grubbe off to AHL-Abbotsford. Bloom to AHL-Bakersfield. @InsideAHLHockey — Tony Androc...
The Edmonton Oilers have made another trade, beyond the normal NHL trade deadline. In a swap of forwards on Friday, the Oilers acquired Josh Bloom from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for Jayden Grubbe. Bloom was a third-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres back in the 2021 NHL Draft. In February 2023, he was traded to…

Andrew Mangiapane’s time with the Edmonton Oilers was certainly one to forget, and it’s already clear that he’s happy to be in a new situation with the Chicago Blackhawks. Mangiapane made his debut with the Blackhawks on Friday, a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks, and even in a losing situation, he’s already got plenty…

Don't look now, but they're only 3 points out of a playoff spot.
The Edmonton Oilers acquired Vasily Podkolzin on Aug. 18, 2024, from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a fourth-round pick in 2025 (114th overall). The Oilers actually re-acquired the pick from Vancouver when the Oilers traded Evander Kane to Vancouver on Day 2 of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. To date, the trade has worked…
The Vancouver Canucks made a handful of moves at the NHL trade deadline, but two names many expected to be dealt never moved: Evander Kane and Teddy Blueger . While Vancouver traded players like David Kampf and Lukas Reichel for late-round picks, the veteran forwards surprisingly remained on the roster. The reason, according to general manager Patrik Allvin , was pretty simple and unexpected. According to The Athletic's Thomas Drance , the Canucks never received a single formal t...

The National Hockey League’s trade deadline for the 2025-26 campaign has come and gone, seeing our Winnipeg Jets become sellers for the first time in a while. General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff ended up shipping out a few veterans in Logan Stanley , Luke Schenn , & Tanner Pearson for packages that included a couple of player and picks. Both skaters acquired from the Buffalo Sabres are going to make their debuts for the True North franchise tonight when Winnipeg squares off against the Van...
On February 21st in 2009, the Vancouver Canucks visited the Toronto Maple Leafs for the first time since former Leaf captain and 13 season skater Mats Sundin signed a one year deal with the Canucks on December 18, 2008 with a pro-rated payout of $5m for the remainder of the 2008-2009 season. The home team honored the Swedish legend with an emotional first period tribute, which clearly resonated
On February 21st in 2000, Marty McSorley of the Boston Bruins swung his stick and struck Vancouver Canucks forward Donald Brashear in the head with three seconds remaining in the third period, rendering him a bloodied, unconscious and convulsing mass. Presumably intended to target the shoulder and spark a rematch to a first period scrap, the vicious miscue came dangerously close to killing
On February 17th in 2009, Vancouver Canucks defenseman Willie Mitchell skated through a pre-game warmup against the Calgary Flames with an 80 inch stick in response to coach Mike Keenan's accusation of illegal lumber.Mitchell, who plays with a league maximum 63 inch stick, invited Iron Mike to borrow his tape measure and take a shot at Rule 10.5. Keenan declined the offer, refusing to test the
