Ranking the Canucks 2000s First-Round Picks
September 5th, 2018 There was certainly a large disparity of first-round talent drafted in the 2000s. Some teams, like the Pittsburgh Penguins, drafted franchise cornerstones such as Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Marc-Andre Fleury at the top of the draft. Other teams, such as the Buffalo Sabres, found talent...

Canucks’ NCAA Prospects Ready to Make an Impact
With the departure of the Sedins, all rules have been called off in the city of Vancouver–but not like they were in 2011, don’t repeat that. But now that the faces of the franchise have left, anyone's name can rise to the top, and they are going to be names that once graced an NCAA jersey. The future of Vancouver is college, so here are some of the Canucks' best up-and-comers who have yet to get a decent taste of the NHL. Thatcher Demko - Boston College Demko has been in the system longer than any other. He was drafted in 2014 after his freshman year at Boston College where he was and still is, working towards a degree in applied psychology (a great major for a goalie). He spent a total of three years in Boston College before signing and joining Utica for two years. While at BC, he was teammates with players like Noah Hanifin, Johnny Gaudreau, Colin White, and Alex Tuch–all to-be or current NHLers. More importantly, his numbers kept getting better the more time he...

Roussel and Beagle Sign With Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks have been busy on Sunday, signing UFA forwards Antoine Roussel and Jay Beagle to similar four-year contracts. Roussel looks to be getting $13MM with Beagle getting $12MM over the same time period. Both deals will run through the 2021-22 season. https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/status/1013396041960308736 What Antoine Roussel Offers Prior to signing with the Canucks, Roussel spent his entire six-year NHL career with the Dallas Stars. Not really an offensive dynamo, his highest production was a 29-point season in 2015-16 and last season, Roussel scored five goals and added 12 assists for 17 points in 73 games. He's been a bit more well known for his rugged play, pesty ways and racking up penalty minutes on a regular basis. Roussel was not drafted to the NHL but was able to fight and claw his way into the league taking the AHL route with Providence and splitting time with the ECHL affiliate. He was then invited to the Canucks camp but not offered a...

NHL Rumors: Tanev, Karlsson, Kessel, More
In today's rumor rundown the head coach everyone would want but no one has room for was spotted heading towards the New York Islanders, a defensemen or two might be available out of Vancouver, Phil Kessel is cool with being traded but his primary choice seems out of the equation and everyone finally seems on board with the fact that Erik Karlsson is as good as traded. Tanev In Play for Canucks Grady Sas of TSN1050Radio tweeted that the Vancouver Canucks have been getting calls on multiple defensemen including Chris Tanev and Alex Edler. He believes teams are currently sending the Canucks lowball offers for Tanev but that the club believes that might change and the hope is that they can create a bidding war for him. Rick Dhaliwal of Sportsnet added that a source has confirmed Tanev is definitely in play and that the Toronto Maple Leafs are still interested. He believes as well that the offers are not great but could improve at the draft. Jason Brough of Halford &...

Analyzing Boeser and Stecher's On-Ice Success
The Vancouver Canucks should be sending the University of North Dakota some thank-you cards. It wasn't like the university pushed Brock Boeser and Troy Stecher to sign in Vancouver, but they have run a top-notch hockey program that has pumped out a number of impact NHL players. Guys like Jonathan Toews, Zach Parise and Travis Zajac remain some of the most current NHLers to represent the school proudly. In Vancouver, two of North Dakota's alumni hold down roster spots, with both of them playing in prominent roles. There can't be enough good things said about the Canucks' super rookie Boeser. The Burnsville, Minnesota native was a Calder Trophy candidate and was on-pace for 38 goals and 72 points if he made it through the whole season. Seeing that he's already the Canucks' most talented player, Boeser is a guy that gets talked about a lot in Vancouver. Stecher is perhaps a little less idolized. Regardless, Stecher should be applauded for persevering through injuries and...Canucks Archives
