With the dust settled on NHL free agency, do the Canucks still need to move more players this offseason?
We’re still a long way off from the start of the 2026-27 season – more than three months, as of this writing – but the majority of the happenings in the 2026 offseason have already happened. The 2026 NHL Entry Draft is in the books. The first few days, and first couple hundred signings, of…
‘I lost my game a bit’: Canucks goalie prospect Aleksei Medvedev reflects on difficult season
Aleksei Medvedev is still only 18 years old, but he’s grown significantly as an athlete since being drafted by the Vancouver Canucks last year.

Grading each of the Canucks’ free agent signings and trades
It was a busier July 1st than most expected it would be for the Vancouver Canucks. As expected, they made their depth signings, added some veteran leadership, but the real savvy move and what ultimately has everyone looking favourably on Ryan Johnson’s work on July 1st, 2026 is the Marcus Pettersson trade, and the…
Where each ex-Canuck signed in NHL free agency
With July 1st now come and gone, the first two days of frenzy of NHL free agency have wrapped up. The Vancouver Canucks elected to pass on making any big splashes with UFA’s or trades, but they made a handful of moves to position themselves in the midst of their current rebuild. Vancouver played…
Breaking down the Canucks’ prospect pool post-2026 NHL Draft
The Vancouver Canucks made nine selections last week in the 2026 NHL Draft. Seven of those picks were used to bolster their forward group, adding one defenceman and goaltender as well.

Ryan Johnson’s first moves as Canucks GM a refreshing shift in asset management
Let’s just come right out and say it. The Vancouver Canucks have not always been well-managed over the past decade or so.

Caleb Malhotra reflects on wild week of NHL Draft and attending first Canucks development camp
The past eight days may have been the busiest of young Caleb Malhotra’s life.

Cootes and Novotný shine in Canucks development camp scrimmages
It stands to reason that two of the three Vancouver Canucks first-rounders in attendance were among the best players in Thursday’s end-of-summer development camp scrimmages at Rogers Forum in Abbotsford. Braeden Cootes was by far the best player on the ice while Adam Novotný separated himself from the pack, as well. Cootes, the club’s…
Game Tape: A look at goaltending prospect Dmitri Ivchenko and how he fits the Canucks’ goalie mould
Whenever the Vancouver Canucks draft a goaltender, they usually follow a couple of key patterns. History often shows they pick 2-3 goalies over a few years, take a couple of seasons off, and then repeat. Those goalies are usually tall with a major emphasis on technique and structure, all pillars of the Ian Clark…
An attempt at an early July depth chart for the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks
What a difference a week can make.

So far, most would say, so good. Johnson and…
