Coming in at #8 on my top-10 Vancouver Canucks prospects list is Russian centre Dmitri Zlodeyev. After he was selected in the sixth round of the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, I knew that it was time to dive in on the Zlodeyev tape. My initial viewings brought immediate positive feedback. Zlodeyev is a centre through…
We continue on through my top-10 list of Vancouver Canucks prospects with 2020 seventh-round pick Viktor Persson. It’s been a tough six months for Persson but his skill alone has him coming in at the ninth spot on my list. In the past six months, Persson has been one of the last cuts on Sweden’s…
All around the world, there are Vancouver Canucks prospects in different parts of their seasons in many different leagues. With that in mind, we have seen a lot of the Canucks prospects raise or drop their stock in the past six months, meaning it’s time for an updated prospect rankings list here at CanucksArmy. We…
As the Vancouver Canucks shut down for awhile, top prospect Vasily Podoklzin began his Western Conference finals of the KHL playoffs overseas in Russia. It’s the biggest rivalry in the KHL as CSKA hosts SKA. Over the past five KHL playoffs, one of SKA or CSKA has come out of the Western Conference finals to…
The Utica Comets will play a lot more games over the next two months and it will be a great chance for the young prospects currently in the AHL to overcome some adversity. During a COVID-19 impacted season, things are a bit different for the Comets. If you didn’t know already, they are only playing…
You knew he’d play. After taking a hard shot to the ankle on Monday night, Bo Horvat was back in the lineup for the Canucks on Wednesday night as they took on the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets beat up on the Canucks in this one, putting up five goals and only allowing one in a…
On Monday night, Bo Horvat took a hard shot off the leg and skated off the ice in noticeable pain. With that chilling hockey play, the thought of how important Horvat has been to this team crossed my mind. Horvat hasn’t been the Canucks’ best skater this season, Brock Boeser has been that while Thatcher…
Vasily Podkolzin is in his final stage of KHL hockey and with that, is a step closer to playing games for the Vancouver Canucks. His KHL team is currently leading 2-1 in a best of seven playoff series. Once eliminated from the playoffs, Jim Benning and Canucks management can negotiate to try and get Podkolzin…
After working very hard on a road trip, the Vancouver Canucks returned home for the first of two games against the Winnipeg Jets. It was not a pretty game as the Canucks went on to lose 4-0 with the Jets pulling away in the third period of the contest. Brandon Sutter was out for this…
Happy Monday everyone! The Vancouver Canucks play two games this week before having six consecutive days without a game. The team deserves an extended break between games and will then continue in their race to catch up to fourth place in the division. I’m covering for David Quadrelli in this week’s Monday Mailbag. As always,…
Newcomer Jimmy Vesey can provide forward depth that this team craves so badly. The Vancouver Canucks dipped into the waiver wire on Wednesday afternoon and snagged the winger from the Toronto Maple Leafs. This was also the same day in which the Canucks had to ice Jalen Chatfield as a fourth-line winger. Vesey wasn’t getting…
The Vancouver Canucks have been on quite a tear lately. Their goalie and timely goals have resulted in the team going 5-1-0 over their last six games. Even though the team is winning, Olli Juolevi should be an option for the lineup sooner rather than later. Through the hot streak, Head Coach Travis Green has…
