Made the GM laugh 😂 #Canucks

Elliotte: “There’s a lot of people on #Canucks scouting staff that don’t have contracts beyond this year so there’s a lot of uncertainty.”

Abbotsford #Canucks producers since Bennett Schimek joined the lineup: • Bennett Schimek — 11 GP, 10 points • Nils Åman — 10 GP, 10 points • Arshdeep Bains — 11 GP, 8 points Signing him to an AHL deal was a sneaky low-risk way to evaluate his game — and it’s paid off. He’s been excellent.

Scott Oake has been the voice of Hockey Nights we’ll never forget. On behalf of the Vancouver Canucks and hockey fans coast to coast — thank you, Scott. Congratulations on an amazing career.

"I'm grateful I can be in this league and make a difference in people's lives." 🗣️ Brock Boeser speaks on being nominated for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, the impact Scott Oake has had, and more. #Canucks | @theprovince

**MEGAPOST** The Canucks drafting and trading for a great group of players and developing none of them into leaders except the guy they traded first (Horvat) is hilarious. EP40 - Introvert, acknowledges he isn't vocal, not a leader JT Miller - Prickly, had multiple issues with different players in Vancouver, leads NYR to a bottom 5 pick, not a leader Quinn Hughes - Articulate, but not a leader in the community or and didn't do enough in the locker room, not a leader. Filip Hronek - The most prickly with media, vocal, but he was already a finished product more or less in Detroit Thatcher Demko - Prickly with Fans and Media at times, wants to be here, according to Kevin Woodley, not a leader Brock Boeser - Most in touch with the fanbase right now, elevates his game in late season + playoff games more than anyone else currently on the team, but his play disappears for long stretches and becomes invisible, not a leader Bo Horvat - Good with the media, wasn't the most physically involved in scrums but was almost always in touch with the Canucks fanbase, and elevated himself in the clutch. The last captain to play with Daniel and Henrik Sedin. It's almost like in order to create new leaders, you need to have an organization full of great leaders to show the young guys the ropes! Canucks leadership at ownership and management have done the following since the Sedins left: - Let Edler & Tanev go in b2b offseasons (players who became leaders under the Sedins) - Laid off 25% of business staff in July 2020, and went from 200 to 45 full time business staff by November 2020 - Reduced Employee Wages 3 times in 3 months to the point where most employees were only being paid 65% of their initial salary and had to utilize the Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy - Let important pieces walk and replaced them with budget pieces (Tanev and Toffoli leaving for $8.75M combined and replacing them with Virtanen, Holtby, Poolman, all of whom were bought out or put on LTIR) - Fired Green and Benning (needed at the time) and replaced them with Boudreau and Jim Rutherford without conducting a formal search, and didn't even tell JR about Boudreau's contract. - Let JR run a half assed GM search where he hired his Pittsburgh buddy - Treated Boudreau like garbage, publicly, fired him - Told Horvat they were going to re-sign him, pivoted to Miller, and then traded Horvat, even though Miller was the problem at that point in time - Extended Elias Pettersson against the coach's wishes, traded away his best linemate, had him play through knee tendonitis, lied about the injury, and then told Miller and Hughes to toughen him up (I think the contract at the time was fine, even if his production since has been abhorrent), furthering locker room dissension. - Failed to retain Rick Tocchet, who despite being disliked by Canucks fans was valuable enough to Rutherford to treat Boudreau like dirt - Hired Adam Foote to try and keep Hughes, and is clearly out of his element, but are (as of now) unwilling to move off of that mistake - Are going to hire another rookie GM without doing a full on search, because JR wants to keep a lot of control That doesn't even include all of the staff that have arrived and left rather quickly, some suddenly (Derek Clancey, Rachel Dorrie/Kryshak), the horrible medical staff, having 4 head coaches, 12 assistant coaches, their inability to develop highly skilled prospects, and lack of practice facilities All of that, and they've increased season ticket prices by ~ 44% since 2022-23. Leadership starts at the top with Ownership. Bad ownership has hired bad presidents in both the business and hockey ops departments, and they hire puppet underlings, treat their subordinates like garbage, use them as fall guys, and that creates apathy and anxiety in employees, which trickles down into the workplace, locker room, and the fanbase as a whole. Francesco Aquilini, Sell. The. Team.

After this @Canucks season I will be...

Former #Canucks winger Jake Virtanen seems to have found a home in Slovakia this season dailyhive.com/vancouver/ex-c…

Both from Vancouver, both 1st overall picks! 👀 Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard meet again tonight...

After backstopping the London Knights to their first win of the series (now down 3–1), Aleksei Medvedev gets the nod again in a must-win game. #Canucks

Quinn Hughes embarrassed himself today. His comments made it clear his captaincy was about keeping him, not leading the team. A captain owns the moment…he deflected it. That attitude doesn’t build culture. The team is better off without it.

Tom Willander became the first Canucks rookie defenseman with a 20-point season since Quinn Hughes in 2019-20.

#Canucks have clinched 32nd place and will have the best odds in the 2026 #NHLDraft Lottery. 25.5% chance at No. 1 overall. Vancouver has never selected first.

Boeser should be the obvious choice for captain Life long Canuck, never quit on the team, never has wanted out (even during years of losing), does lots for the community & is the only player from the Sedin era Not to mention he’s insanely clutch and shows up when it matters most

Boeser has 7 goals in his last 14 games. He seems to have put the 'Reichel/Kampf as his centre' days behind him

The Vegas Golden Knights are 1-0-0 under Torts. #VegasBorn

Growing buzz around Mike Gillis as a potential fit in Toronto. If the Leafs are serious about a philosophical shift, he’s one of the most interesting names out there. Bold decision-maker. Proven track record. Should be at the top of the list.

Ilya Safonov embeds himself in KHL history by assisting on the fastest playoff goal ever scored (7 seconds). #Canucks

Toronto is making a change at the GM position Let go of Brad Treliving tonight

#Canucks Elias Pettersson is the first player from the 2017 NHL Draft class to hit 500 career regular-season points.

The Ducks have defeated the Mammoth meaning the #Canucks can not win the 2025-26 Pacific Division crown
