Canucks Still Seeking Common Ground with Boeser

Canucks Still Seeking Common Ground with Boeser

September 13th, 2019 Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning says no one wants Brock Boeser at training camp more than he does. But with players set to hit the ice on Friday and the right-winger still without a new deal, it appears as though Benning — and many others...

3 Canucks Who Could Replace Brock Boeser

September 13th, 2019 We are now at the beginning of training camp for the Vancouver Canucks and Brock Boeser remains unsigned. The longer it drags on, the higher the possibility that he will not begin the regular season with the team. There is a lot of time before that happens, so the hands are off the panic button...

Canucks Prospects

The Young Stars Tournament and prospects camp in Penticton had become a tradition for Vancouver Canucks fans. Without the annual get together of young talent, it will feel like something is missing this season. It served as a preview to training camp and gave fans a chance to see prospects that normally would not get much ice time in the preseason. Instead, it will be informal skates and scrimmages without an outside competitive component. Regardless, it will be interesting to see the results of the hard work that the prospects have put in during the summer. It is also a sign that hockey has returned to the West Coast. The exciting thing about this year's prospects camp is that it is open to the public. Canucks fans will be able to get a glimpse of the next generation of players as they prepare for the main camp. Here are three that you need to keep an extra close eye on. Olli Juolevi (D) By the time prospects camp starts, Olli Juolevi will have rehabbed his second major...

Vancouver Canucks

Whether you're a fan of the lone Russian-born player on the Vancouver Canucks, Nikolay Goldobin, or think his days on an NHL first line are no more, the debate will soon be over. He has been a hot topic of discussion amongst almost every Canucks fan on Twitter at some point or other. He's one of those players that fans seem to either love or hate. Signed as a restricted free agent to a one-year deal on Wednesday, it's time for him to prove whether or not he belongs in the NHL. Related:Goldobin Has Pivotal Season Ahead With Canucks The man known simply as "Goldy" by his teammates and coaches alike took a lot of criticism last season due to his lack of defensive abilities. As Chris Faber of Canucks Army pointed out in his final plea for Goldobin to be on the first line, the 23-year-old Russian found offensive success and chemistry with 2019 Calder Trophy winner Elias Pettersson early on in the season. The numbers Faber uses show that not only does Goldobin play better when he's...

Vancouver Canucks

As many fans and analysts alike have pointed out already this offseason, the Vancouver Canucks seem to have a logjam of bottom-six forwards. We don't know exactly who is going to make the roster after the obvious core players who comprise most of the top-six forward group — guys like Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser are obvious first-line calibre players. What we do know, however, is that there is a spot in the lineup for 23-year-old Zack MacEwen if he truly applies himself at camp this September. Why MacEwen? In 69 games with the Utica Comets this past season, the Prince Edward Island native put up 22 goals and 30 assists for 52 points — good enough for third on the team behind only Reid Boucher and Tanner Kero. You may be wondering why MacEwen would get the nod over Boucher and Kero, seeing as they both had more points and in fewer games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKcFgFpeyHk It's really quite simple: MacEwen has the size and skill to be an impact...
