There has been plenty of chatter lately about the Brock Boeser contract and for good reason, training camp is approaching and one of the Vancouver Canucks’ young stars is not yet signed. The bargaining table has gone cold according to sources in touch with Octagon Hockey and Boeser’s camp but this Boeser contract isn’t the…
Every team needs depth defencemen and as you can tell by the way our countdown of the top prospects in the Canucks’ system has unfolded so far, the team seems to have a handful of these type of players who are in the midst of developing at the next level. Jack Rathbone is perhaps the…
The Vancouver Canucks have explored a number of different avenues when it comes to adding defencemen, dipping their toes in both the unrestricted and college free agent pools, but neglected to select a single defenseman at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The team hasn’t had a tone of success thus far when it comes to…
Selected in the 6th round with the Vancouver Canucks’ 180th overall pick, Jack Malone was one of the big fallers of the 2019 NHL entry draft. After a strong USHL season in which he posted just over a point per game, he plans on taking the next step in his development with Cornell University in…
I’ve been down this road a hundred times, out here on these mean streets trying to convince people there’s a future for Nikolay Goldobin in a Canucks uniform; that he’s more than capable of playing on the first line, and then they go out and add JT Miller and Micheal Ferland. You’d think would bring…
Podcasts are becoming the newest, hottest media outlet for sports discussion. Barstool’s “Spittin Chiclets” is likely at the top of the hockey podcast world with their two past guests being Nathan MacKinnon and Sidney Crosby, with 31 Thoughts sitting in a close second thanks to industry titans Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek. But there are…
When a good team evolves into a great team there are a few things that they all have in common. The defence can move the puck, the team has sufficient goaltending; and most importantly, they have a top nine forward group that can control the goal share. The Canucks have been a top six/bottom six…
A couple weeks ago I was able to have a conversation with one of the Canucks’ seventh round picks Aidan McDonough. We talked about his early years, growing up in Massachusetts and what hockey was like on the east coast in Cape Cod, we chatted about his season with the Cedar Rapids Roughriders and even…
The Vancouver Canucks made a splash on day two of the NHL draft when they traded a conditional first round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward JT Miller. That splash may have soaked Canucks fans at the time and probably still has more than a few people up in arms. The timeline that…
So last week I asked on Twitter which USHL draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks people wanted to see more of or hear more about and the winner of that poll was Jack Malone. Malone was selected 180th in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft and was the third player selected by the Canucks in the…
The entry draft will bring the future stars of the NHL to Vancouver this weekend and there are so many different ways this draft can go. The wide variety of forwards that sit in the 5-12 spots make it fun to see who will fall, who will reach and who will be available for the…
