Vancouver Canucks Don't Need Jay Beagle
July 3rd, 2018 The Vancouver Canucks kicked the month of July off with a bit of a splash in the free agency pool — most notably, they inked former Washington Capitals center, Jay Beagle. Beagle and the Caps are coming off of a Stanley Cup victory and I believe that clouded the...
Canucks Sign Adam Gaudette to ELC

Canucks 2018 Trade Deadline Wrap Up
February 27th, 2018 It was a slower-than-expected deadline day for the Vancouver Canucks. The team laid rather dormant, making just two trades. Out are winger Thomas Vanek and minor leaguer Philip Holm, and in are Tyler Motte, Jussi Jokinen, and Brandon Leipsic. Though moves were made, it...
Did the Canucks Get Enough for Vanek?
February 27th, 2018 NHL mercenary Thomas Vanek was traded at the deadline (shocker, I know) to the Columbus Blue Jackets. In return, the Vancouver Canucks received 22-year-old Tyler Motte and 34-year-old Jussi Jokinen. It's no surprise that Vanek was on the block and likely to be moved at...
The Canucks and Thomas Vanek
September 4th, 2017 As September began, so did yet another chapter in the career of Thomas Vanek. As of Friday, the Vancouver Canucks are the newest home for the offensively-gifted Vanek. With 12 seasons of experience and an evident knack for finding the scoresheet, the Canucks are hoping...
Why Trading the Sedins Makes No Sense
June 16th, 2017 A lot of talks have been floating around the NHL regarding the Vancouver Canucks trading away Henrik and Daniel Sedin and gearing up for a full-blown rebuild but frankly, I think that notion is just silly and probably not even feasible in this league. The Canucks are...
Canucks Finally Embracing the Rebuild
March 2nd, 2017 Saying the last few years have been frustrating for Vancouver Canucks fans would be a massive understatement. The Canucks haven't won a playoff round since they knocked out the San Jose Sharks in 2011, have allowed countless players to walk while receiving nothing in...
Stecher Emergence Making Tanev Trade Bait?
November 15th, 2016 Stechermania has officially taken over Vancouver. If it wasn't official before, it is now after the 22-year-old rookie scored his first career goal against the Dallas Stars on Sunday. It couldn't have come at a better time. Stecher scored with 100 seconds remaining in...

3 Must-Sign RFA's for Vancouver
May 11th, 2016 The Canucks have come to contract terms with a lot of key players this offseason already, but there's still work to do with re-signing several pending restricted free agents. The team has locked up free agents Anton Rodin, Troy Stecher, Thatcher Demko and Michael...
Could Philip Larsen Be a Darkhorse for Canucks?
May 6th, 2016 Amidst talks regarding how the Vancouver Canucks plan to bolster their defense core, they may have an important blueliner who has been playing overseas, and hasn't exactly been the center of many of those conversations. Enter Philip Larsen, who has spent the past two...
