Vancouver Canucks: Brock Boeser is the most likeable Canuck

Troy Stecher sets up opening goal, heads to gold medal game with Team Canada
It has been a wild and wooly World Championship tournament for Team Canada. Canada suffered a surprise upset to a Finnish team devoid of NHL players that looks less like an upset now that Finland has made the gold medal game. They pulled out a win with a last-second goal in a wildly entertaining 6-5 game against Slovakia. Then it took another last-second goal in to push their quarterfinal against Switzerland to overtime where they won to make the semifinal. Now Canada is heading to the gold medal game against Finland after a big win over Czechia. Along for the ride is the Canucks’ Troy...

What can the Vancouver Canucks get in a Chris Tanev trade?
With one year left on his contract, the Vancouver Canucks need to trade blueliner Chris Tanev. But what can they expect to receive in return? The Vancouver Canucks had many chances to trade defenceman Chris Tanev, but general manager Jim Benning took the risk and chose to retain the effective but oft-injured veteran up until […] What can the Vancouver Canucks get in a Chris Tanev trade? - The Canuck Way - The Canuck Way - A Vancouver Canucks Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Scouring the upcoming free agent class for some potential UFA bargains
The Canucks have gotten themselves into trouble in free agency over the last few years. Loui Eriksson is the big one, a $6 million albatross that still has three more years left on his contract as he’s sunk to the fourth line, but with Eriksson are more minor missteps like Jay Beagle, Tim Schaller, and Matt Bartkowski. This isn’t unusual: GMs around the NHL make their biggest mistakes in the free agent frenzy, frequently overpaying players and landing themselves in salary cap trouble. The Oilers certainly regret signing Milan Lucic and the Flames can’t be happy that James Neal is...

Henrik and Daniel Sedin inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame
Never, in the nearly 50 seasons of the Vancouver Canucks history and arguably in all of league history, has there been a more dynamic duo to grace the ice. Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin are an obvious pair of inductees into the BC Sports HOF.

Why Jacob Markstrom should have started yesterday’s game for Sweden
The Swedish national team decided to go with veteran goaltender Henrik Lundqvist over Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom yesterday. To me, that wasn’t the right move. Here’s why. Shoulda, coulda woulda. While Team Sweden head coach Rikard Grönborg didn’t have hindsight at his disposal as we all do now when he made the decision yesterday, I […] Why Jacob Markstrom should have started yesterday’s game for Sweden - The Canuck Way - The Canuck Way - A Vancouver Canucks Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Should Vancouver Canucks draft a defenceman with 10th pick?
The Vancouver Canucks could go either way with the No. 10 pick, but does it make sense for general manager Jim Benning to take a blueliner? There’s no denying that defence has been the Vancouver Canucks‘ biggest weakness over the last five years, but general manager Jim Benning has the chance to address that with […] Should Vancouver Canucks draft a defenceman with 10th pick? - The Canuck Way - The Canuck Way - A Vancouver Canucks Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More

Why the Vancouver Canucks should not sign Free Agents
The Vancouver Canucks have a very important off-season ahead of them. While the draft is of utmost importance, free agency is also a key factor, and is something the team needs to be wary of. When one looks at the Vancouver Canucks roster, it is easy to see the needs.

All six Canucks qualify for quarterfinals at Worlds, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing
The preliminary round of the 2019 World Hockey Championship came to a close with a couple marquee matchups featuring Canucks: Canada versus Team USA and Sweden versus Russia. All six Canucks at the tournament were in the lineup in those two games, though one didn’t play — Cory Schneider got the start for Team USA ahead of Thatcher Demko. Troy Stecher and Canada didn’t have any issue dispatching Quinn Hughes and Team USA, but Elias Pettersson, Jacob Markstrom, and Loui Eriksson had all kinds of trouble with Russia.

Vancouver Canucks: Why Jim Benning should avoid offer sheets
Plenty of young superstars could be signed to offer sheets this summer, but Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning should avoid going that route.
