No where to go but up for Canucks’ Kevin Lankinen in 2026-27
Kevin Lankinen‘s been dealt a tough hand since signing his five-year extension with the Vancouver Canucks in 2025. When he first signed that long-term deal, it was seemingly done with the understanding that he’d be the Canucks’ new long-term starter. But somewhere near the end of the 2024-25 season, the Canucks got nervous and gave…
Who might the Canucks have wanted at 25th overall in their proposed trade with Senators?
The Ottawa Senators shared a video on their YouTube channel titled “Untapped Potential | Breakaway.” Senators General Manager Steve Staios took a phone call during the draft, seemingly from the Vancouver Canucks, where the Canucks offered picks 33 and 41 in exchange for picks 25 and 72. The trade didn’t end up happening, and…

Maintaining a role in the Canucks’ top six will be the goal for Liam Öhgren in 2026-27
Expectations might be a bit blown out of proportion for Liam Öhgren this upcoming season. The young Vancouver Canucks forward had essentially no expectations when he joined the team last season as part of the return for Quinn Hughes. Because of the team’s injury trouble, the plan was for Öhgren to get a taste…

WDYTT: Who will lead the Canucks in scoring for 2026-27?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet that’s a weekly journey into mystery. Speaking of mystery, there’s plenty to be found surrounding the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks.

John Shorthouse ‘couldn’t be happier’ after signing new 4-year deal to keep calling Canucks games
Change happens all the time in pro sports. New champions, new players, new storylines to follow, and yes, even new play-by-play broadcasters. There have been plenty of new players and stories to follow surrounding the Vancouver Canucks over the last 28 years, but one thing that hasn’t changed in that time is play-by-play man John…

McKeachie also hosted CBC…
A quick start key to boosting Drew O’Connor’s trade stock in 2026-27
The cold, hard reality for Drew O’Connor is that the only thing that really, truly matters next season is boosting his trade value. The likeable, low-maintenance winger is firmly entrenched in a middle six role on the Vancouver Canucks, for now. But with the team rebuilding and needing to harvest as many assets as…

If you’re a regular reader of CanucksArmy, or if you’re just somebody who is familiar with our semiannual ranking of the top 20 Vancouver Canucks prospects, then a lot of what you’re about to read might be information you already know.

Health is the biggest goal and expectation for Thatcher Demko in 2026-27
The Vancouver Canucks have a Vezina-calibre goaltender on the roster. There aren’t many of these elite netminders in the league these days, and for the worst team in the NHL in 2025-26, that could prove to be quite the game-breaking element for them. Someone who could steal games and earn points in the standings simply…
Canucks sign first-round pick Adam Novotný to three-year entry-level contract
The Vancouver Canucks have announced they have agreed to terms with Adam Novotný on a three-year entry-level contract. Selected 24th overall in the first round of the 2026 draft, Novotný becomes the first of the draft picks to sign an entry-level deal with the club. Novotný was recently named the third-best prospect in the organization…
Where might the Canucks be if they had swapped Elias Pettersson for Martin Necas back in 2024?
There’s no better time than the dog days of summer to play a little game of What If… Uatu likely know by now that it’s one of our favourite things to do on this site. For today’s hypothetical alternative history, we’re not going too terribly far into the past. Only a couple of years, back…

Trade Tree: Brian Burke’s madness of moves that brought the Sedins to the Canucks
Considering CanucksArmy has been around since April of 2009, I figured there would have been at least one article on the aftermath of the Sedin trade. But couldn’t find anything. I searched “Sedin” in our back end and looked through 231 articles that took me all the way back to 2009, but this story was…
Get to know Ryan Stewart and Adam Sergerie, the Canucks’ two new hockey operations hires
The Vancouver Canucks announced two hires to their Hockey Operations department late Monday afternoon. Ryan Stewart has been hired as the team’s Director of Hockey Strategy and Player Evaluation, while Adam Sergerie has been hired as a Pro Scout. “Ryan brings a championship pedigree and a wealth of hockey knowledge to this brand new position,”…
Fully healthy, how high can Marco Rossi fly as a top 6 centre for the Canucks?
Through the first two full seasons of his NHL career, Vancouver Canucks centre Marco Rossi has shown great durability. In those seasons, Rossi appeared in all 82 games for the Minnesota Wild. In 2025-26, however, Rossi faced three separate lower-body injury setbacks. First, it was a brief one-game absence in late October with the…
Should the Canucks still have any interest in the Hurricanes’ Alexander Nikishin?
Of all the specific situations going on around the NHL right now in the midst of the dog days of summer, one of the most interesting has to be what’s going on with Alexander Nikishin and the Carolina Hurricanes. It’s probably not fair to call this a contract holdout yet, what with Training Camp still…

JPat’s Monday Mailbag: Is the Canucks training camp roster essentially set?
We have officially entered the realm of parsing snippets of video of Vancouver Canucks players taking to the ice for summer workouts. Over the past week, Elias Pettersson was seen skating in Los Angeles, while scenes of Thatcher Demko hitting the ice in Vancouver also surfaced. It won’t be long now until the entire…
