The NHL’s Friday Trade Deadline is fast approaching, and the rumours are flying in the lead-up to the big day. Plenty of Vancouver Canucks players have seen their names out there in trade discussions, and while obviously not every one of them will be traded, there’s no denying the Canucks have plenty of irons in the fire this week.
I’ve been watching Elias Pettersson since he first skated onto the ice in Vancouver. Right from the start, the kid was something special. That young Swede could do stuff no one else even dreamed of — the vision, those hands, skating that looked so smooth it didn’t even seem like he was trying.
The NHL trade chatter is heating up as we roll toward the final stretch of the season, and Canadian teams are right in the thick of it. From Vancouver to Edmonton to Toronto, GMs are poking around, making calls, and trying to figure out who can help now—and who might cost them too much later.
The Dallas Stars rolled into Rogers Arena on Monday night and left with a 6-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks, stretching their streak to a franchise-record nine straight victories.
Certainly a good display of hockey from the opposition. The Vancouver Canucks had their door blown off their hinges against the Dallas Stars, losing 6-1 at home in pretty miserable fashion.
In the lore of the NHL, it's the Stanley Cup-winning teams that are remembered the most from seasons past. Yet, when looking back on the best of the best
In some ways, the Canucks facing a Dallas Stars team entering the evening on an eight-game winning streak might fill you with confidence. The Canucks are a franchise where nothing has ever made sense, so wouldn’t it be par for the course if the Canucks managed to come out flying in a matchup this tilted?
The Abbotsford Canucks were in Calgary over the weekend for a two-game set against one of their Pacific Division rivals. In what was effectively a grudge match between the ninth- and tenth-place teams, Abbotsford came away with back-to-back 3–2 (shootout) victories and has now won four straight against the Calgary Wranglers.
The Vancouver Canucks and Tyler Myers are trying to work together to find a trade for the defenseman during deadline week, and there’s a chance things could be heating up in the next few days, according to NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman.
Elias Pettersson. Tyler Myers. Jake DeBrusk. All three of the pending unrestricted free agents. It seems that almost every Vancouver Canucks player — aside from Filip Hronek, of course — has found themselves in the NHL rumour mill lately.
The Vancouver Canucks (18-34-7) look to snap a five-game winless skid when they host the Dallas Stars (36-14-9) at Rogers Arena. Faceoff is at 7 pm. This is a quick two-game homestand against two of the top three teams in the league, with the Carolina Hurricanes in town on Wednesday night.
If the Vancouver Canucks were hoping the schedule might throw them a rope after this long slide, well, no such luck. Instead, the Dallas Stars show up on Monday night riding an eight-game winning streak and with the swagger of a team that expects to win every night.
As the NHL trade deadline inches closer, the situation surrounding Tyler Myers continues to draw intrigue. According to NHL insider Rick Dhaliwal, Myers remains patient about waiving his no-move clause in Vancouver.
It is officially NHL Trade Deadline week, and a new name on the Vancouver Canucks has surfaced in trade rumours. According to the Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, the Canucks are in trade talks with teams surrounding forward Drew O’Connor.
The Pittsburgh Penguins continue to compile crucial points in the standings as they progress toward locking up a surprising berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Sportsnet: Vancouver Canucks president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford was on the 100% Hockey Podcast with Darren Millard and John Shannon and said that he’d like to have more Canadians on their roster.
As per James Murphy of RG.org, “According to two NHL sources, Canucks wingers Conor Garland and Brock Boeser are in play as the March 6 NHL Trade Deadline approaches, and the Bruins once again have interest in both.” He adds that “the Bruins have continued to track both players again lately,” a Western Conference NHL pro scout told RG on Friday.
Some nights, the story writes itself early. The Vancouver Canucks actually opened the night with some steadiness, kept the pace manageable, and even hung around in the shot battle.
The Vancouver Canucks received some clarifying news on Friday regarding one of their most promising young prospects. Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin announced that winger Jonathan Lekkerimaki underwent successful surgery for a shoulder injury.
Canucks winger Evander Kane is a known piece of trade bait after his struggles producing at home in Vancouver, especially given his pending free-agent status, but he’s not the only ‘Nucks winger on the market this spring.
On top of having a potential trade on the horizon to shake up the roster, the Canucks have made several roster moves today. The team announced (Twitter
