It wasn’t the sophomore season everyone hoped to see from Nils Höglander following a very impressive rookie season with the Canucks. The 21-year-old was only able to put up 18 points in 60 games as he dealt with injuries and tried to adjust to a coaching change for the first time in the NHL. Interestingly,…
As we near the first offseason in Vancouver for Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, and company, a big decision looms with their near-100 point player, J.T. Miller. Canucks President Jim Rutherford has said the team should have a better idea of what an extension would look like with Miller by the draft, and by all accounts…
In the midst of a wonderful Canucks run full of chants, wins, and renewed hope, the future of some of the club’s key players still lingers. The biggest question mark may surround the Canucks’ best forward this season, JT Miller. Miller is 28 years old, has one year remaining on a team-friendly deal after this…
The start to the season for the Vancouver Canucks has been a complete disaster. That being said, they can still salvage something from this experience. Not the playoffs — those are already out of the picture barring a miracle run where they win two out of three games for the rest of the season. Instead,…
It’s been a long time coming, but after months of hand wringing and negotiations, it seems like Elias Pettersson and Quinn Hughes have finally signed their next contracts with the Vancouver Canucks. Hughes’ contract reports came down first: Hearing Hughes nearing a 6 year deal worth slightly above $7.75M per year with the Canucks —…
The Vancouver Canucks and good goaltending have gone hand-in-hand for essentially the last 15 seasons. There have been blips every now and then but it’s become something that can almost be expected and relied on for both the team and fans as Vancouver just casually cycles through elite goalies. It will have to remain good,…
The Vancouver Canucks have a pretty up-and-down history with free agents recently. The team seems to love to stub their toe on the opening day of free agency specifically, as here are the notable contracts given out by the Canucks to UFAs since 2016 on day one of free agency: 2016 Loui Eriksson – 6…
The Vancouver Canucks are gearing up for what should be a pivotal offseason, but not in a super exciting way. The Canucks won’t have the cap flexibility to add much to their roster via free agency or trades (unless they get incredibly creative), and the real intrigue lies within a few of the current members…
It’s no secret that the Vancouver Canucks lack depth in their forward group. It’s also not a secret that NHL teams don’t generally get very far without depth in their lineup. Therefore, it stands to reason that the Canucks will need to add pieces to their roster if they want to see real progress in…
The Vancouver Canucks have had a bit of a fun history with their 5th round selections from the past decade. Ben Hutton, Gustav Forsling, and Frankie Corrado are a few of the notable picks, and who can forget Ludwig Blomstrand? The latest though, and probably most successful one they’ve had, is Adam Gaudette. Gaudette entered…
The Vancouver Canucks’ special teams were crucial for the squad last season as they made the playoffs for the first time in five years. The special teams will most likely need to remain as steady this season if the Canucks want to make the playoffs, and with a lot of the pieces of each unit…
If the Vancouver Canucks had a nickel for every $6 million player on their roster who the, they’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s odd that it’s happened twice. Tyler Myers finds himself firmly in the second spot behind Loui Eriksson when it comes to that divisive conversation. I understand the cause…
