Welcome back to Stars of the Week at CanucksArmy ! Every week, we’ll be bringing you our Top Three best and brightest performers on the Vancouver Canucks that week.
The Vancouver Canucks may have reopened contract talks with Kiefer Sherwood this week, but the move appears to be about more than simply trying to keep the forward long term.
Linus Karlsson’s path to the NHL was somewhat circuitous. Karlsson spent four seasons in Sweden after he was drafted. He didn’t make his North American debut until he was on the cusp of 23 years old.
NHL head coaches have to hire good assistants. They have to set an overarching philosophy, juggle lineup configurations, and do the kind of “man management” that is impossible to track statistically.
The Vancouver Canucks just wrapped up a brief three-game homestand, where they grabbed only two of a possible six points. They are still winless at Rogers Arena since Dec.
The Vancouver Canucks are in a rebuild. Maybe. Actually, it might be more of a ‘hybrid rebuild.’ Or, on second thought, it might actually be the kind of hybrid rebuild where the team also re-signs veterans like Kiefer Sherwood instead of trading them.
The ethical tank continues. The Vancouver Canucks lost 3-2 in overtime against the Boston Bruins. Even though it was a loss on the scoreboard, the game content was much more entertaining, just like the previous outing against the Seattle Kraken.
Thank you for tuning into Last Word on Hockey. In this edition of NHL Rumours, the discussion will focus on the Vancouver Canucks efforts to keep an impending unrestricted free agent in town.
The Vancouver Canucks made a new contract extension offer to pending UFA forward Kiefer Sherwood, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported last night. Friedman
The Vancouver Canucks have had an underwhelming 2025-26 campaign and seem destined to become sellers at the 2026 Trade Deadline. After they shockingly traded Quinn Hughes to the Minnesota Wild, attention turned to forward Kiefer Sherwood, who some fans believe could be the next player traded.
Minor lineup changes for tonight’s contest. The forward group remains intact from Friday night’s loss to the Seattle Kraken, but Elias Pettersson comes in on the blueline for PO Joseph.
After re-signing Linus Karlsson yesterday, the Vancouver Canucks may not be done there, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman: “Last night, the Vancouver Canucks announced that they had re-signed Linus Karlsson to a two-year deal.
The Vancouver Canucks are making a pair of lineup changes for tonight’s game against the Boston Bruins. As expected, Kevin Lankinen will get the start in goal while Elias Pettersson returns to the lineup and replaces P-O Joseph on defence.
On Friday afternoon, the Vancouver Canucks announced they had agreed to a contract extension with forward Linus Karlsson. He may not have his 2025 Calder Cup Championship ring yet, but Karlsson’s now $4.5 million richer.
The Vancouver Canucks didn’t play a perfect game against the Seattle Kraken, but they didn’t play a hopeless one either. A 4–3 shootout loss always leaves you standing in the dressing room afterward, wondering which side of the line you were really on.
Matty Beniers delivered a highlight-reel moment on Friday night, deking Vancouver Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko in the shootout to secure a 4-3 win for the Seattle Kraken at Rogers Arena.

The Vancouver Canucks continue to work on figuring out next year’s roster as they enter a transitional period. The Canucks announced that they’ve signed forward Linus Karlsson to a two-year, $4.5MM extension ($2.25MM AAV).
There isn’t much detail yet, but a new report has surfaced that while names like Keifer Sherwood, Conor Galrand, and Evander Kane are more often being discussed as trade pieces out of Vancouver, Elias Pettersson’s name clearly isn’t going away on the trade market.
The Vancouver Canucks are starting the new year with a mix of frustration, rebuilding, and small sparks of hope. Injuries are biting into an already thin roster, top scorers are struggling to find their touch, and yet young prospects are giving fans reasons to keep paying attention.
One of the Vancouver Canucks new additions is set to miss significant time. On Friday, the Canucks placed center Marco Rossi on injured reserve retroactive to Dec.
The Vancouver Canucks have been in the same cycle of trying to make the playoffs every two years since the Sedin Twins, Henrik and Daniel, retired. This cycle is not paying off for them in the long run.
