On February 5, 2017, Evan McEneny played his first NHL game. He logged just over 15 minutes in a 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks. To date, he hasn’t gotten another look. It sounds like just another footnote in Canucks history, like Lee Sweatt or Joacim Eriksson; but his appearance was not without fanfare….
There’s something to be said about avoiding free agents coming off of banner years — a harsh lesson that the Vancouver Canucks have learned in consecutive off-seasons. Loui Eriksson is the most prominent example of this, but the most recent one would be Sam Gagner. The 28-year-old forward was coming off of a career-high 50…

It’s been nearly three months since I last dropped a consolidated draft rankings on this site, so it’s I’d say it’s high time to check on how the 2018 class is shaking out. In the time since the last list was published, there haven’t been any major events (World Juniors and CHL Top Prospects game…
While the Stanley Cup Playoffs are in the thick of things, the Canucks got a head start on the off-season. Some went on vacation, some returned home, and one special boy celebrated a birthday!

Don’t know if you’ve heard of this Elias Pettersson kid, but he’s making sure everyone is aware of him now. After breaking records in the regular season, Canucks prospect Pettersson was being tightly checked in the first few games of the SHL playoffs. He wasn’t playing poorly but it was clear that Brynas and Malmo…

The baton has been passed from two franchise legends to two promising youngsters who have had excellent starts to their NHL careers. That much is known already, but there are some players sort of stuck in limbo right now. One of those…
Will you finish your mid-term rankings before the end of the playoffs? — Raphael Frech (@rapfre_ak) April 16, 2018 I think so! Does the level of play in the playoffs really show how far away the Canucks are. — Cory and trevor linden (@realNovocane) April 16, 2018 I’d argue the Canucks level of play in…
What do you think of Noah Dobson? — Joshua (@JoshDoesStuff91) April 15, 2018 I’ve nothing but good things to say about Noah Dobson’s game. He’s a big, offensively inclined, minute-munching defenceman who can skate well (not well for his size, just well period) and take away space from the opposition with relative ease. Dobson has…
