#Canucks need to land one of Poitras or Shane Wright (already linked to Wright). Between one of those two, Rossi and Cootes, there is no first line centre upside, but you’re almost guaranteed a legitimate 2C of the future.
The #nhlbruins are looking to bolster both ends of the ice, and one player I’m told Boston is willing to move is 21yr old forward Matthew Poitras.

Jonathan Lekkerimäki is a point-per-game AHL player at 21. Imagine a McKenna - Rossi - Lekkerimäki second line to open 2026-27 #Canucks

If the #Canucks ever wanted to grab a player just inside or outside of the top 10 after making their own first round selection, they do now have the MIN late first as well as two SJ second round picks as arsenal.. Bjorck, Carels come to mind here.

(This is nothing to do with the Swede-Canadian thing, McKenna has always had the higher ceiling regardless of growing pains in college this year imo)

Would almost prefer the #Canucks to pick second overall than first so I don’t have to question my will to live watching this management take Stenberg over McKenna at 1.

If the #Canucks do pick inside the top 3, there are three guys I’d realistically be happy with: Ivar Stenberg Gavin McKenna Tynan Lawrence

#Canucks need to acquire another first rounder to grab Viggo Bjorck. 🌚

The fact that the Canucks are fresh off of a 4-game win streak and could *still* enter the holiday break 32nd in the NHL is a testament to the priority that is tanking the season. Not only is it the best case scenario for the future, but it is just so hard to make up ground.

Zeev Buium end-to-end rush assist to end a #Canucks regulation loss. Perfect day for Team Tank 😮💨

Everyone thinking the Canucks are ruining the tank with Demko’s load when they’re actually galaxy-braining it by overplaying him to have him sustain a season-ending injury
Thatcher Demko is the first #Canucks goaltender off of the ice and is projected to start Monday vs. Philadelphia. It will be Demko’s 5th start in Vancouver’s last six games since he returned from a month-long injury absence on December 11th.

Liam Öhgren could absolutely be a second line winger in his prime. Six foot forward with legit speed and a heavy shot. Has the draft pedigree at 19th overall just three years ago (Lekkerimäki draft). Not bad for the guy with the least value in the Hughes deal.

That’s now a goal and an assist in under 4 GP for #Canucks Liam Öhgren… 👀

Would love for the #Canucks to nab Carels with their second first rounder - the MIN pick is likely too low for him to be available, though. Obviously they may not be done acquiring picks. Buium/Carels/D-Petey as the left side of the future
With today's cuts, as long as Sam Dickinson remains in San Jose, Carson Carels and Keaton Verhoeff will be the 5th and 6th youngest defenseman to make Team Canada in WJC history • Jay Bouwmeester • Chris Joseph • Matthew Schaefer • Scott Niedermayer • Carson Carels •

“They’re scratching Räty for the tank” *Demko making third straight start* Like naw, this unwarranted Räty disrespect has to come to an end please and thank you

Obviously too early to tell, but as they stand as prospects/young players, which package would you have preferred for Quinn Hughes? #Canucks NJ - Mercer, Nemec, Silayev, 1st MIN - Rossi, Buium, Ohgren, 1st

#Canucks right back to a 3-point cushion for last place in the league

The best realistic case for Zeev Buium, imo, is a 60-70 point top pairing, two-way defenseman who excels as the No. 1 PP QB. He’ll never be Quinn offensively, but there’s a good chance no defenseman in Canucks history ever will be.

The Quinn Hughes profile photo must of course be retired; who’s ushering in the new era? #Canucks 👀
