Brady Tkachuk lists Vancouver and Seattle as Canadian cities he didn’t get booed in
Apparently, former Ottawa Senator and now Florida Panthers forward Brady Tkachuk thinks Seattle is a Canadian city. On the Wingmen podcast with Matthew and Brady Tkachuk, the brothers began discussing a game in which Brady was booed in Calgary.

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”.

Blackfish: Questions we hope to learn about the Abbotsford Canucks prospect this September
Welcome back to Blackfish: Our weekly Vancouver Canucks prospect report. We’re still working through the dog days of summer, but inching closer to the regular season with each passing week. We’re on the cusp of action, with preseason and training camps just around the corner. But for now, we’ll stick to summer topics. Today,…
Hockey Canada adopts The Botchford Project for 2027 World Juniors in Edmonton
What started as a local tribute to honour the memory and legacy of popular Vancouver Canucks beat writer Jason Botchford is being elevated to a national stage. Hockey Canada has announced that it is adopting the successful Botchford Project for this year’s IIHF World Junior Championship in Edmonton and Red Deer. Using the blueprint that…
Win, draw or loss: Grading all 35 major Canucks contract signings in the Rutherford-Allvin regime
Last week, we set out to grade every single trade made by the Jim Rutherford-Patrik Allvin Regime in their time at the head of the Vancouver Canucks. They made 41 trades in total, which made for a fairly large undertaking. But folks seemed to like the results, and we like the discussion that sprang forth…

For the third straight year, we are conducting a late-summer thought exercise. Over the next week, we will present a pair of options for the 2026-27 Vancouver Canucks season and ask you which is more likely to occur. Without the benefit of a crystal ball, of course, it’s impossible to know how things will go….
An in-depth look at the Anaheim Ducks in 2026-27: Canucks Pacific Previews
The Pacific Division in 2026-27 is a top-heavy division made up of two groups: the Haves and the Have-Nots. The gap between the best and worst has never been larger, and the Vancouver Canucks sit firmly at the bottom. Seven teams stand in their way on the path back to contention, and we’re going to…
31 days, 31 questions: Which jobs are up for grabs heading into Canucks training camp?
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”.

Can Paul Cotter have a Kiefer Sherwood level breakout with Canucks in 2026-27?
Paul Cotter was clearly a priority target for the new Vancouver Canucks regime, as he was their first announced signing of free agent frenzy on July 1. And the bet on a toolsy, unproven 26-year-old makes sense for a rebuilding Canucks team. Throughout his five-year NHL career, the 26-year-old winger has topped out at 16…

For the third straight year, we are conducting a late-summer thought exercise. Over the next week, we will present a pair of options and ask you which is more likely to occur for the Vancouver Canucks this season.

Why the worries of a healthy Thatcher Demko ruining the tank are overblown
To say that fans of the Vancouver Canucks have any real fears about the upcoming 2026-27 campaign is probably inaccurate. It’s tough to muster up any genuine terror about a season in which the goal and the odds-on most likely outcome is a bottom-three finish. But this is a notoriously nervous fanbase, and if…
A scoring rebound and mentorship role are the goals for Canucks’ Brendan Gallagher in 2026-27
Brendan Gallagher is back where his hockey story began, looking to prove there is still plenty left in the tank after 14 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. The Vancouver Canucks acquired Gallagher from Montreal in June for future considerations, with the Canadiens retaining 50% of the final year of his $6.5-million contract. Vancouver is…
JPat’s Monday Mailbag: Will the Canucks actually play the kids or shield them from another tough season?

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
Filip Chytil has had a difficult time over the last few years, both before he joined the Vancouver Canucks and in the 18 months since. That is as factual as it gets. The Czechia-born forward turns 27 in September, but his nine years of playing time in North America have been interrupted time and…
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. Macklin Celebrini’s NHL-record $18.8-million AAV contract effectively closed the book on one of the wildest offseasons in recent memory. Record-setting offer sheets, a surge in restricted free…
