ALT: Jaguars Fan's Hilarious Reaction

After an offseason in which their top waiver priority was a frequent topic of conversation, the Vancouver Canucks finally used said priority on Friday, plucking goaltender Leevi Meriläinen off the waiver wire from the Ottawa Senators. It’s not the most consequential transaction in recent Canucks history. Meriläinen is clearly seen as having current and future…

The Vancouver Canucks are at the very opening stages of their self-declared rebuild. Really, the rebuild process didn’t start in earnest until December 2025, the point at which Quinn Hughes was traded to the Minnesota Wild for a heavily future-based package of assets. It’s only been about nine months since then. The 2026-27 season will…

Just a couple of weeks out from Training Camp 2026, the Vancouver Canucks made one of the largest signings in franchise history, both in terms of the size of the contract and its potential importance. Zeev Buium, the centrepiece of the Quinn Hughes return and still just 20 years old heading into his second NHL…

At this point, we’re a good six months away from the 2027 NHL Trade Deadline. But there’s another deadline coming this year, and it’s coming before the season, or even the preseason, begins.   September 15, 2026 marks the date at which the newest CBA changes the maximum term limits of contracts. Prior to that…

One way or another, we’re inching closer to the next captain of the Vancouver Canucks. Or, perhaps, to an acknowledged lack thereof. Traditionally, captain announcements happen at one of two times. It’s either at some sort of preseason press conference, like with Quinn Hughes, or it’s at a pre-game ceremony at the team’s first home…

Those reading the tea leaves have long predicted that another round of NHL expansion is forthcoming, and that was a fairly easy prediction to make when said tea leaves read “$2 billion expansion fees.” That’s almost too much money to leave on the table, and it seems that the NHL will not, in fact, be…

It seems all but guaranteed that the long-term legacy of the front office led by Jim Rutherford and Patrik Allvin will be a mixed one.   On the one hand, Rutherford and Allvin did not succeed at the job they set out to do, which was to turn the Vancouver Canucks into a competitive team….

<p>Welcome to a new series here at CanucksArmy, where over the month of August, we’ll ask a new question each day about the Vancouver Canucks. We’re calling it “31 days, 31 questions”. Today, on August [], we&#8217;re trying to figure out what the Canucks Hometown Remix jersey will be. &nbsp; All 32 NHL teams will be getting&#8230;</p>

I may be dating myself here, but when I was growing up in the Fraser Valley, getting to watch the Vancouver Canucks on TV was a relative rarity.   In the mid-1990s, less than half of the Canucks’ schedule was broadcast on TV, with games split between BCTV, CHEK, CBC, and TSN. If you wanted…

On Wednesday, the NHL announced home opener dates for all 32 NHL teams. For the Vancouver Canucks, it’s going to be back-to-back matchups with the Edmonton Oilers. The first one goes down in Edmonton on September 29th, before the two clubs meet again on October 1st for the Canucks’ home opener at Rogers Arena.  …

No-trade and no-movement clauses have become an unexpected topic of conversation in the NHL this summer. A few high-profile trade demands have drawn attention to the fact that the NHL is chock-full of such clauses in a way that other professional sports leagues just aren’t. It’s an issue that many now believe will be addressed…

The Vancouver Canucks don’t play a game until early October, so this isn’t a problem quite yet. But given the way their roster is currently constructed, the hockey club seems to be lacking capable, competent penalty killing forwards. Four of the top eight busiest penalty killing forwards on last year’s roster no longer play for…

It was a busier July 1st than most expected it would be for the Vancouver Canucks.   As expected, they made their depth signings, added some veteran leadership, but the real savvy move and what ultimately has everyone looking favourably on Ryan Johnson’s work on July 1st, 2026 is the Marcus Pettersson trade, and the…

Let’s just come right out and say it. The Vancouver Canucks have not always been well-managed over the past decade or so. And if there’s been a particular weakness of the last two managerial regimes, led by the Jims Benning and Rutherford, it’s been asset management.   The Canucks faithful are all too familiar with…

What a difference a week can make. The 2026 NHL Entry Draft and the 2026 Free Agent Frenzy happened within days of one another, and represented the first opportunities for GM Ryan Johnson and co-POHOs Henrik and Daniel Sedin to make their mark on the team. So far, most would say, so good. Johnson and…

The Vancouver Canucks have traded defenceman Marcus Pettersson to the New York Rangers in exchange for a 2030 first-round pick.   Daily Faceoff Insider David Pagnotta first broke the news on Daily Faceoff’s free agency live special. A few hours later, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman had the return. 2030 first-rounder (top-10 protected) https://t.co/Jx4ZjqFgQ9 — Elliotte Friedman…
