Latest news and updates about the Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks did not set out to become a better hockey team in the summer of 2026. Or, to be more accurate, they set out to become a better hockey team at some distant point down the road, which left them approximately the same sort of hockey team for the 2026-27 season as they…
Congratulations! You have made it through another long offseason in Vancouver, and it’s time to drop the puck on the 2026-27 National Hockey League schedule. It’s bound to be a bumpy ride for the Canucks. But we’ve all been warned that wins and losses really don’t matter. It’s all about player development and taking the…
We are now just two days away from the official start of the NHL season. But today’s list of waivers is what the Vancouver Canucks have been waiting for as the fortunate team with the top waiver priority. As we’ve covered, the Canucks have first waiver priority – and will hold that position until…
The Vancouver Canucks have placed goaltender Nikita Tolopilo on NHL waivers for Sunday, September 27th. Tolopilo is now available for any NHL team to claim and keep on their NHL roster. If he clears on Monday, September 28th, he will report to the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks. The NHL preseason officially came to a close…
The preseason is in the books, and we are only a few days away from the Vancouver Canucks opening their 56th season in the NHL. If all the predictions hold,…
Leevi Meriläinen is at a major crossroads in his NHL career. After a heroic start with the Ottawa Senators three years ago, his stock fell enough in the nation’s capital for him to end up on the waiver wire, and the Vancouver Canucks claimed him on Friday. But this moment could end up being the…
The first preview of the 2026-27 Calgary Wranglers is coming up this weekend for a two game road exhibition series against the Abbotsford Canucks. This is a new schedule addition this year and helps break up camp for guys cut from or not involved in NHL camps to skate in game scenarios before they season…
The Vancouver Canucks finished their preseason Saturday night with a pretty entertaining 4-3 win over the Seattle Kraken. It wasn’t perfect. Far from it, actually. The Kraken jumped out to…
The Vancouver Canucks have new management in place, but the Canucks are almost certainly going to be just as bad, if not worse than their 2025-26 season. Does Vancouver have the stones to see through a full rebuild, or have they not learned their lesson from the San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames?

VANCOUVER – Three hours and 58 minutes into their pre-season schedule, the Vancouver Canucks took their first lead on Saturday. Two minutes later, they had their first win – and the pre-season was over. The National Hockey League’s 84-game regular season has been described as a marathon. But the new pre-season is an absolute sprint. In a span of 10 days, from the opening of training camp in Penticton until Saturday’s 4-3 win against the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Arena, rookie Canucks coach Mann...
Not able to muster late magic as they did the night before, the Seattle Kraken finished the preseason 3-1, falling to the Vancouver Canucks 4-3 on Saturday night at Rogers Arena. Overall, Lane Lambert’s group looked solid, jumping out to an early two-goal lead. But a Ryan Winterton penalty gave the Canucks a late power play, which they capitalized on. Mackie Samoskevich, who took a big hit on Thursday night, missed the game with a day-to-day upper-body injury. With players moving up the...

The Vancouver Canucks (0-3) close out their four-game exhibition schedule this afternoon when they face the Seattle Kraken (3-0) at Rogers Arena. The game begins at 4 pm PT. It’s the last chance for evaluation, as all NHL teams must submit their 23-man season opening rosters on Monday. What we know With the early…
After an offseason in which their top waiver priority was a frequent topic of conversation, the Vancouver Canucks finally used said priority on Friday, plucking goaltender Leevi Meriläinen off the waiver wire from the Ottawa Senators. It’s not the most consequential transaction in recent Canucks history. Meriläinen is clearly seen as having current and future…
This much we know for sure: Thatcher Demko will begin the new hockey season on the injured list. Beyond that, however, very little is certain when it comes to the Vancouver Canucks netminder, who continues to recover from double hip surgery last February. The club insists the 30-year-old puckstopper continues to make progress, but…
June 26, 1999, was a day that changed the fortunes of the Vancouver Canucks for more than just the next decade. This, of course, was the day of the NHL…
Filip Chytil’s latest injury could force the Vancouver Canucks to significantly adjust their plans down the middle just days before the start of the regular season. Chytil left Thursday’s preseason game against the Edmonton Oilers after colliding with referee Riley Brace and crashing into the end boards. He was ruled out for the remainder…
The Vancouver Canucks took a very interesting player with their first pick in the second round in the 2026 NHL Draft: Brooks Rogowski. He’s a monster size-wise, standing at 6-foot-7…
In today’s NHL rumour rundown, we start off with Connor Hellebuyck and Alexander Nikishin, who could both be involved in a blockbuster three-way deal. Next, Vancouver Canucks forward Filip Chytil,…
