Being a Canucks fan keeps getting more expensive: Wagner’s Weekly
I may be dating myself here, but when I was growing up in the Fraser Valley, getting to watch the Vancouver Canucks on TV was a relative rarity. In the mid-1990s, less than half of the Canucks’ schedule was broadcast on TV, with games split between BCTV, CHEK, CBC, and TSN. If you wanted…

Paul Cotter details free agency period and why he signed with Canucks
When July 1 comes around, everyone thinks players can sign with whomever they want and can simply wait until they find their “dream” destination. However, it’s not all that simple. In an interview with The Hockey News, new Vancouver Canucks forward Paul Cotter explained that the free agency process isn’t as glamorous as some make…
Scoring more even strength goals is a necessity for Jake DeBrusk in 2026-27
Jake DeBrusk’s 2025-26 season wasn’t ugly, but it wasn’t a Picasso either. On first glance, DeBrusk’s stat line last year doesn’t look all that out of place from any of his other eight NHL seasons. He cracked the 40-point threshold again, potted 23 goals and finished fourth in team scoring. Compared to a lot…
A sampling of the kinds of players who may be available on waivers this preseason for the Vancouver Canucks
Greetings, fellow watchers of the waiver wire. A week or so ago, we discussed the idea that the NHL’s perpetually rising cap ceiling might have a few unintended consequences, beyond the salary escalation we’re already experiencing in full force. One of those unintended consequences was a higher quality of player becoming available via waivers…

Welcome to a new series here at CanucksArmy, where over the month of August, we’ll ask a new question each day about the Vancouver Canucks. We’re calling it “31 days, 31 questions”. Today, on August 8th, a look into whether the Canucks should explore extending Liam Öhgren long-term after Ville Koivunen’s extension in Pittsburgh. Earlier…

Filip Hronek’s agent says NHL expansion is coming to Houston and Atlanta
Allan Walsh has never really been one to mince words. The agent of Vancouver Canucks defenceman Filip Hronek — and a long list of other NHL clients — took to Twitter/X on Thursday evening to offer up a bit of information regarding NHL expansion. “NHL expansion is coming. Houston and Atlanta,” Walsh wrote in…
Another year of growth is the goal and expectation for Tom Willander in 2026-27
Tom Willander’s rookie season with the Vancouver Canucks was full of ups and downs. That’s to be expected, though, for a young defenceman. The team was terrible, and the defensive environment on the ice was not conducive to success. However, there were positives to take away from his first season. For starters, Willander wasn’t…
31 days, 31 questions: Who might be getting forgotten about in Canucks’ 2026-27 roster talk?
No matter how long the hockey-less summer gets, no matter how deep into the dog days we are, there’s always something more to talk about in the world of the Vancouver Canucks, and there’s always something not being talked about. Even though we’ve spent hours upon hours talking about the potential roster for the Canucks…

Today, on August 6th, we will explore who will play with Elias Pettersson for this upcoming season. It’s been a tough last…
Can Linus Karlsson take another step forward after strong rookie season?
Let Linus Karlsson play. That seems like it should be one of Manny Malhotra’s mantras in his first season as Vancouver Canucks head coach. Not only is Malhotra familiar with Karlsson’s game from their fruitful time together in Abbotsford, but with his play last season, the 26-year-old Swede has earned more opportunities to show…
Why has the last month been so slow for the Vancouver Canucks?
To say that the Vancouver Canucks have had a slow offseason wouldn’t just be a misstatement; it’d be an outright inaccuracy. Since officially closing out the 2025-26 campaign, the Canucks have changed most of their front office, replaced their coaching staff, drafted nine players, signed eleven contracts, and completed four trades. That’s plenty of…
WDYTT: Who is the current fan favourite Canuck?
Welcome back to WDYTT, the only hockey column on the internet with a built-in fascinator. Speaking of fascinating, we had a bit of a fascinating thought to share and explore this week, and it has to do with fan favourites. The Vancouver Canucks have been blessed with a lot of great players and a…
31 days, 31 questions: Would Zeev Buium even want to sign a longer-term contract with the Canucks?
We’ve seen a trend developing around the National Hockey League: Young players are getting paid coming off their entry-level contracts. Macklin Celebrini, who emerged as one of the game’s truly elite players this past season, signed a five-year contract extension with an $18.8 million annual average value that won’t kick in until the 2027-28 NHL season….
Canucks’ Elias Pettersson spotted training in LA
We are just under two months away from the start of the 2026-27 season, and one Vancouver Canucks forward is already on the ice preparing for the season. On Tuesday, August 4, Elias Pettersson was seen training in Los Angeles at the Kings’ practice facility. The video quality isn’t perfect, so it’s hard to…
Increasing shot volume should be main goal for Brock Boeser in 2026-27
Despite enduring a career-long 21-game goal drought last season, Brock Boeser can still beat NHL goaltenders. The question facing him this season is how often the Vancouver Canucks can put him in position to do so. Should Vancouver’s rebuild eventually push him toward considering a move to a playoff contender, any deal would require…

Trade Trees: Tracking the many twists and turns of Canucks acquiring Christian Ehrhoff
When the Vancouver Canucks managed to pry Christian Ehrhoff from the San Jose Sharks in the summer of 2009, it was one of the first examples of the hockey club pouncing on an opponent in salary cap peril. At that stage, the Sharks simply had too many other good players making too much money, which…

Filip Hronek enters the 2026-27 season with a larger role than the Vancouver Canucks have ever asked him to fill. For the past three years, Hronek has served as Quinn Hughes’ partner, complementing one of the NHL’s premier puck-moving defencemen while helping Vancouver control play from its top pairing.
