Vancouver Canucks Player News
Quillan, an undrafted forward, is the latest Maple Leafs' offseason signing to complement their organizational depth. The 24-year-old has played 24 career NHL games, but spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL, where he tallied 36 points (14G / 22A) in 40 games with the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

Merilainen faces some heavy competition for playing time in Ottawa this season as the team heads into 2026-27 with Linus Ullmark and Sam Ersson both under contract and ahead of him on the depth chart. The 23-year-old Merilainen, a third-round pick of the Senators in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, struggled in limited NHL action last season, posting a 3.51 GAA and .860 SV5 in 20 appearances (8-10-1).


Oleksiak has been a member of the Seattle Kraken since their inaugural season in 2021-22, but will have a change of scenery after signing a two-year contract with the Vancouver Canucks. The 33-year-old defenseman scored 15 points (5G / 10A) in 78 games last season.

Fix-Wolansky has been solid at the AHL level for the last half-decade, but he has yet to have a prolonged look at the NHL level to translate his talents. The 27-year-old forward spent the 2025-26 season in the AHL with the Hartford Wolf Pack, scoring 55 points (31G / 24A) in 72 games.

Thomas, a second-round pick of the Los Angeles Kings, has shown promise at the AHL level but has never been able to sustain a prolonged NHL stint. The 26-year-old forward scored 22 points (9G / 13A) last season in 39 AHL games. He will hope to get a longer look at the NHL level in 2025-26, joining a struggling Vancouver Canucks team.

Schenn's days of being an intimidating presence on the blueline are likely behind him, but he remains a viable bottom-pair option and adds a veteran presence to the Vancouver Canucks. The 36-year-old defenseman recorded seven points (1G / 6A) and 149 hits in 50 games last season, split between the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres.


Brisebois has played primarily in the AHL since turning pro in 2017-18. The 28-year-old has made in appearance in the NHL in five seasons since 2019, compiling three points (1G / 2A) across 30 games. Most recently, he had one goal and one assist in nine AHL games with Abbotsford.
