31 days, 31 questions: What should the Canucks feel good about heading into 2026-27?
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, we’re looking into what the Canucks should feel good about heading into next season. When the curtain closed on the Vancouver Canucks’…
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…
Win, draw or loss: Grading all 41 Canucks trades in the Rutherford-Allvin regime
It seems all but guaranteed that the long-term legacy of the front office led by Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin will be a mixed one. On the one hand, Rutherford and Allvin did not succeed at the job they set out to do, which was to turn the Vancouver Canucks into a competitive team….
An in-depth look at the San Jose Sharks 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…

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,…
All the different goaltending scenarios that could come out of Canucks Training Camp 2026
It’s kind of funny we haven’t heard more about the Vancouver Canucks goaltending situation this season, especially given the history of this franchise and its frequent experience of crease-related controversies. In the end, it’s probably largely a consequence of the team’s continued path through a rebuild. If winning games in the 2026-27 isn’t the aim,…

Canucks summer face off: Which is more likely – DeBrusk 30 goals or O’Connor 20 goals?
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 this coming season. Without the benefit of a crystal ball, of course, it’s impossible to know how things will go. So we will…

Reuinted with Malhotra, what Max Sasson will Canucks fans see in 2026-27?
Many critics have questioned the Vancouver Canucks‘ player development department in recent years, but Max Sasson has emerged as one of its biggest success stories.

Can Zeev Buium establish himself as one of the game’s top young defencemen in 2026-27?
There was a time not that long ago when Zeev Buium was considered a true top-calibre defence prospect. Drafted 12th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2024 NHL Draft, Buium’s final season of college hockey ended up being one of the most productive modern NCAA campaigns by a defence prospect. As we wrote…

31 days, 31 questions: Can the other Canucks forwards learn something from the BRÖ line?
At the start of March 2025, the Vancouver Canucks had unplugged the life support on their season. They were firmly at the bottom of the NHL standings, the word “rebuild” had finally been uttered by then-President of Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford after trading Quinn Hughes, and overall, at that point, the organization did not have…

Can Elias Pettersson work his way into the Canucks’ top four in 2026-27?
The defenceman Elias Pettersson suffered a sophomore slump in his 2025-26 season; however, it’s impossible to say if that’s solely on him as a player after the poor season the Vancouver Canucks had as a whole. His game regressed all-around, but one can start to understand why that is given the play around him and…
Canucks: In which direction did the other lottery contenders move this offseason?
Everyone knows which direction the Vancouver Canucks are moving in. They not only announced and committed to a rebuild, they’ve lived that commitment ever since.
