Trade Tree: Tracking Trevor Linden’s movement that saw him leave Canucks only to return years later
Nearly two decades after his retirement, Trevor Linden remains one of the most prominent players to ever suit up for the Vancouver Canucks. He’s also one of the few players who was both traded by and traded for by the hockey club. This is an examination of the Trevor Linden trade tree that sprouted branches…
31 days, 31 questions: How will Jim Rutherford’s Canucks tenure be remembered?
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 taking a look at what Jim Rutherford’s legacy as President of Hockey Operations will be now that he has stepped away…
Canucks summer faceoff: Which is more likely – Öhgren 40 points or Demko 40 starts?
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. Without the benefit of a crystal ball, of course, it’s impossible to know how things will go….
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?
After a one-week absence, the Monday mailbag returns. By this time next month, the Vancouver Canucks will have conducted training camp and will already be halfway through their four-game National Hockey League preseason. So we’re certainly getting closer to hockey season. And when the team hits the ice, we’ll start to get some answers about…
An in-depth look at the Los Angeles Kings 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 defencemen will handle Canucks penalty killing duties next season?
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 examining which defenders will shoulder the load as the team’s top penalty killers next season. Earlier this summer, we noted…
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…

Welcome back to NHL Notebook — the series here at CanucksArmy where we deliver you news and notes from around the National Hockey League — oftentimes through a Vancouver Canucks-tinted lens! We all knew expansion was at the top of the NHL’s priority list, and we have further confirmation of a time frame and location after what…

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 Penguins inducted Former Canucks President of Hockey Operations and current Canucks Senior Advisor Jim Rutherford into their Hall of Fame. A well-earned place among the greats….
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,…
