Rest in Peace to Vancouver Canucks Icon Jim Robson
Rest in peace to the legend, Jim Robson.
The quest to find Elias Pettersson a new home and exorcise the Vancouver Canucks of a failed core continues.
Last year, there were rumours that one team was very interested in the Canucks superstar. Could the Olympics, and being around a former teammate, spark interest from this team once again?

The Canucks should call Montreal and TRADE for Laine + McKenna Update + More Canadien Hockey Talk
The Vancouver Canucks NEED to make this trade.
For the vibes, of course.
Jokes aside, the Vancouver Canucks should give the Montreal Canadiens a call to see if they can alleviate them of their Patrik Laine issue.
The once-promising star isn't the player he once was, making him a perfect fit to play with Elias Pettersson.
Beggsy and Bhawan break down the REAL reasons why the Canucks should trade for Laine, what it could look like, and what the ramifications are.

New Vancouver Canucks captain can be an Olympic hero
He's the new unofficial captain of the Vancouver Canucks.
Unafraid to call out his club and unafraid to speak to the media.
Teddy Blueger has been the best Canucks player since returning to the lineup on Jan. 21. Now that he's in the midst of a hot streak, can he carry that over to the Olympics?
We preview Blueger's Olympics, talk about his captain potential and more, including a little penis injection talk, on this episode of Locked On Canucks.

McKenna charged with assault + Panarin joins the LA Kings...is Canucks' Elias Pettersson next?

On the latest episode of Locked on Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan break down how the Canucks could trade Pettersson to the Kings and what that may actually look like.

You know what they say one man's trash is....
Speaking of trash, that's what Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers fans would summarize their teams as this season.
Could the two trash organizations swing a deal to alter their future? Because apparently, the Vancouver Canucks still want Alexis Lafreniere.
Beggsy and Bhawan talk about if this is still an option for the Canucks and does it make a lick of sense. They also debate who's going to have the better career between Connor McDavid and Macklin Celebrini, whi...

Never say that Vancouver Canucks fans can't appreciate a good tank game.
On Friday night, the Canucks were perfect. They lost, some young guys stepped up, and there was excitement in the building.

How the Vancouver Canucks can pull off some SEDINERY at the 2026 NHL Draft
It was a once-in-a-lifetime event for Vancouver Canucks fans.
Or, was it?
Back in 1999, Brian Burke had a day for the ages, acquiring the second and third-overall picks, which allowed the Vancouver Canucks to draft Henrik and Daniel Sedin.
Now, there are no twins, at least at the top of the 2026 NHL Draft, but could the Canucks still sneak back into the top-10, or even top-five?
Beggsy and Bhawan explore how plausible it is for the Canucks to pull this off.
They also look at how the six former Canuc...

In this Locked On Canucks episode, we dive into Sherwood’s role in Vancouver, why he became a logical trade candidate, and how this move signals the Canucks’ approach to roster flexibility, cap management, and future assets. With Sherwood coming off a stretch of high-energy, bottom-six minutes and strong forechecking play, his value...
The Vancouver Canucks Lose 10 Straight Special
Remember the when Go Canucks Go chants rang through Rexall Place while the Sedins were domination the Edmonton Oilers?

But don't worry Vancouver Canucks fans, because the former face of the franchise won't be around much longer.

It's a fair question to ask after the Vancouver Canucks lost 5-1 to the Detroit Red Wings.

The Vancouver Canucks passed on local kid Zach Benson with the 11th overall pick in 2023 in favour of Swedish defenceman Tom Willander. While Willander had a marginalized role in the NCAA, Benson proceeded to crack the Buffalo Sabres line-up as an 18-year-old.

Why the Red Wings make sense for Vancouver Canucks' Elias Pettersson
Elias Pettersson has had a "bounce-back" season for the Vancouver Canucks. It's just not near the level anyone expected.
Drastic change is already underway in Vancouver, but more is needed. No more hybrid retool, the fans in Vancouver deserve better.
While Pettersson has played better, it's pretty clear that he's not going to help the Canucks win a Stanley Cup. If that's the case, they should trade him, and trade him while he's still good.
Among teams that could use him, one of the Canucks upcoming opponents, the Detroit Red Wings, makes sense.
