Big, strong, has an active stick, a mean streak and a strong slap shot. Seems pretty good, doesn’t it? What if I told you that the Canucks could get their hands on this player for nothing but a contract. They don’t have to give up any draft picks or trade any of their own players….
Christmas came late this year with the Canucks returning to action on Wednesday and coming right back with another game on Thursday night.

One of the big worries about the Vancouver Canucks’ roster is their weakness on the back end. Their defencemen aren’t known for being great defensively but that weakness can be shielded by Bruce Boudreau’s up-tempo style of play. The addition of another puck-moving defenceman in Jack Rathbone will make all three defensive pairings have the…
After a coaching change, Jason Dickinson is getting a second chance at a first impression with the Vancouver Canucks. With four points in 29 games, Dickinson hasn’t been noticeable on the scoresheet through the beginning of his career as a Canuck. After scoring in his fifth game, Dickinson went 23 games and over 300 minutes…

It’s time to check in on the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL team and look at some takeaways after 20 games. The Abbotsford Canucks are currently fourth in the AHL’s Pacific Division and post a 9-8-3 record. It was a tough start to the season for the Canucks but they are starting to figure it out and…
