Should the Canucks consider signing another free agent? | Wagner’s Weekly
The Vancouver Canucks kept fairly quiet on the first day of free agency and have been positively silent in the subsequent two months. The Canucks added just three bona fide NHL players in free agency — defencemen Jamie Oleksiak and Luke Schenn, and bottom-six forward Paul Cotter — as well as a smidgen of…
Canucks: Staying healthy is Filip Chytil’s priority for 2026-27

3 lessons the Canucks can learn from the NHL’s changing landscape
With the rise of analytics, a new CBA in place, and salary-cap growth showing no signs of slowing down, the NHL is evolving faster than ever before.

The 2026-27 season has to be the one where Victor Mancini makes an impact on the Canucks roster
The career path of Victor Mancini is really a wild one. He started in the USHL before heading to the Swedish Junior ranks for his 17-year-old season in 2019-20, an unusual move for an American-born prospect. That was his first year of draft eligibility, but Mancini went unselected. Due to some complications with COVID…

Strong, physical leadership is part of the 2026-27 goals and expectations for Canucks’ Jamie Oleksiak
After flipping Marcus Pettersson on free agency day, the Vancouver Canucks didn’t have many experienced defencemen options on the roster heading into 2026-27. That changed after they signed Jamie Oleksiak to a two-year, $5 million AAV deal to bolster the back end. It’s a tidy contract, given where the cap picture is at this point,…

Vancouver enters 2026-27 with three capable NHL goaltenders on the roster: Thatcher Demko, Kevin Lankinen, and Nikita Tolopilo. Per The Hockey Writers , the question that will define camp is whether the Canucks keep all three or settle into a traditional 1A/1B tandem, and that decision "will likely be answered over the course of training camp and the preseason, de...
