| C | 1 | Henrik Sedin  ActiveHenrik Sedin said there haven't been any contract extension talks with the Vancouver Canucks at this point. Henrik and Daniel Sedin were on TEAM1040 on Monday and said they'd like to re-sign with the Canucks, but won't rush anything. The twins are each in the final year of their contracts and it's extremely doubtful the Canucks would let either one, let alone both Sedins, get to unrestricted free agency next summer. Much like they are on the ice, the brothers are a package deal off it and appear likely to play together the rest of their careers, be it in Vancouver, their native Sweden or another NHL city. One thing's for sure, the Sedin twins will not come cheap. Jun 11 |
| 2 | Ryan Kesler ActiveRyan Kesler scored twice in the third period of a 3-2 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks in Friday's Game 2. Kesler's first goal was a power-play tally and came less than a minute into the period. He followed it up six minutes later with what looked to be the game-winning goal until the Sharks tied the game in the final minute. Henrik and Daniel Sedin each assisted on Kesler's man-advantage score, but the Canucks now trail 2-0 heading back to San Jose. May 4 |
| 3 | Derek Roy ActiveDerek Roy scored a goal in Vancouver’s 7-2 blowout loss to the Oilers Saturday night. It was his sixth point in 12 games since joining the Canucks. He might be worth a look in deep playoff pools if you believe the Canucks could go far this post-season. Apr 28 |
| 4 | Maxim Lapierre ActiveMaxim Lapierre can become an unrestricted free agent this summer. His agent, Don Meehan, confirmed to News 1130 Sports that there hasn't been any contract talks yet with the Vancouver Canucks regarding his client. Lapierre produced 10 points, 116 hits and 45 penalty minutes in 48 games this past season. It should be noted that the team hasn't discussed new deals with Derek Roy, Manny Maholtra, Dale Weise, or Mason Raymond either. May 29 |
| 5 | Andrew Ebbett ActiveAndrew Ebbett scored a goal and two assists, his first points of the season, in the Canucks 7-4 win over the Nashville Predators. Ebbett had one of the best games of his career in his second game back from being called up from the minors. Ebbett has proved to be an excellent source of offense in his AHL career, scoring 204 points in 210 games. The 5'9 center isn't much of offensive threat in the NHL mostly due to his small frame. He's 30 years old so don't expect much more than a skilled fourth liner. Mar 15 |
| 6 | Manny Malhotra  I.L.Manny Malholtra addressed the media for the first time since Canucks general manager Mike Gillis put him on injured reserve due to the recurring effects of his serious eye injury suffered almost two years ago. Malhotra says he feels "good" and "comfortable" with his abilities and disagrees with Gillis' decision to shut him down, though he doesn't harbor negative feelings toward him. "I truly believe he cares for my well being and for my future — not only in the game of hockey but as a young man, a young father," Malhotra said. "He wants to see me have a successful life post hockey." Malhotra's contract expires at the end of the season. He said he won't be demanding a trade and would discuss his future with his family. Feb 27 |
| 7 | Jordan Schroeder  SidelinedJordan Schroeder has undergone shoulder surgery and he hopes to be ready in time for training camp. "I've got a workout plan set up for the summer that will enable me to be on track and ready for camp," he said. "I'm going to get back at it (off-ice training) in a couple of weeks. Obviously, I can't do some of the upper-body stuff, but I’ll be able to get the legs going." However, it's still yet to be determined when he will be able to resume skating. The team's younger players are expected to get longer looks at camp next fall, so Schroeder hopes to be able to take advantage of the opportunity. May 28 |
| 8 | Kellan Lain ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Kellan Lain from AHL Chicago. Lain signed an entry-level deal with the Canucks after completing his junior season at Lake Superior State University this year. He didn't register a point in 13 games with Chicago. Lain was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. They'll simply tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere. Apr 30 |
| 9 | Alexandre Mallet ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Alexandre Mallet from AHL Chicago. Mallet signed his entry-level deal last August and split the 2012-13 season between the Canucks' ECHL and AHL affiliates. He was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. They'll simply tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere. Apr 30 |
| LW | 1 | Daniel Sedin ActiveDaniel and Henrik Sedin's play on the power play have propelled Team Sweden into the Gold Medal game at the World Championships. The Swedes will take on the upstart Swiss team for the Gold. Sweden has scored four times on the power play in the last two games with the Sedin twins in the lineup after going only two for 30 in their first seven games. May 19 |
| 2 | David Booth I.L.David Booth's agent says his client actually fractured his ankle and tore ligaments when he was injured in mid-March. Booth's injury was originally reported as a sprain, but that seemed unlikely when he needed surgery. There has been speculation the Canucks would like to use a compliance buyout on Booth, but this injury throws a pretty large monkey wrench into those plans. As long as Booth is injured, Vancouver's unable to use that tool and the serious nature of the injury means Booth is unlikely to be healthy by the buyout deadline. Booth is scheduled to count $4.25 million against the salary cap next season. Jun 4 |
| 3 | Mason Raymond ActiveMason Raymond (shoulder) will play for the Canucks on Saturday. "It's great to get back out there," said Raymond. "I had a good couple of games rest and it helped me improve." He has nine goals and 18 points in 35 games this season. Apr 6 |
| 4 | Tom Sestito ActiveTom Sestito's two-year contract is a one-way deal worth $1.5 million. "I wanted to have a two-year deal and I definitely wanted the one-way," he said. "Being a UFA, I imagine I would been able to get a one-way somewhere but I definitely wanted to be in Vancouver again. I expressed that in my exit meeting and they said they wanted me back, too, so I thought it was going to get done pretty quickly." The Canucks said they were pleasantly surprised with his play after acquiring him off waivers from Philadelphia. He should bring some toughness to the club's lineup next season. May 29 |
| 5 | Jim Vandermeer ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Jim Vandermeer from AHL Chicago. The 33-year-old Vandermeer is a little different than the rest of the young prospects he was recalled alongside. Vandermeer made the Canucks out of training camp but was waived after watching the first two games from the press box. Vandermeer has two assists and 17 penalty minutes in 21 career NHL playoff games. Apr 30 |
| 6 | Darren Archibald ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Darren Archibald from AHL Chicago. Archibald had 12 goals and 22 points in 55 games with the Wolves this season. He was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. They'll simply tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere. Apr 30 |
| RW | 1 | Alex Burrows ActiveAlex Burrows scored a goal and added an assist in a losing effort, as the Vancouver Canucks were eliminated in four games thanks to a 4-3 overtime loss on Tuesday. Secondary scoring was a major issue for the Canucks throughout the season, and the problem was exacerbated in the four-game sweep. Burrows did his best to keep the Canucks alive, but it wasn’t enough. Having been eliminated in the first round for the second straight season, expect some changes up front in the Canucks lineup this summer. May 8 |
| 2 | Christopher Higgins ActiveChristopher Higgins will have an MRI on his right knee now that Vancouver's season is done. He strained it late in season and it's preventing him from playing for Team USA at the world championship. Higgins missed six games with a knee ailment, but he returned for the final three contests of the regular season and he played in the club's four postseason matches. May 9 |
| 3 | Jannik Hansen SidelinedJannik Hansen sustained a sprained shoulder in Game 4's loss to San Jose. He wasn't able to play in overtime after getting hurt on a hit from Sharks winger Raffi Torres. Hansen didn't have a point in the series after he accounted for 10 goals and 27 points over 47 contests during the regular season. May 9 |
| 4 | Zack Kassian ActiveZack Kassian is back up with the Vancouver Canucks and he'll return to the lineup Thursday night. He was sent down to the AHL for a one-game stint after recovering from a back injury. "It was good to be down there to get in a game and I feel really confident," Kassian said. "My back is 100 percent and I'm really excited to get going again. I spoke to management before I went down and they stressed the things I need to work on, both on and off the ice. On the ice, it was just play the way I was early in the season, moving my feet and playing physical. Off the ice, it was just being professional, especially in a market like this. You have to be a professional." He's slated to start on the third line with Max Lapierre and Nicklas Jensen Apr 4 |
| 5 | Steve Pinizzotto ActiveSteve Pinizzotto (illness) will get back into Vancouver's lineup Thursday. He missed the past four games due to an illness. He is slated to play with Chris Higgins and Andrew Ebbett on the third line. Mar 28 |
| 6 | Dale Weise ActiveDale Weise said he would wear a visor if he didn't have a fourth-line role, which requires him to fight sometimes. "If I was playing in a bigger role and playing more minutes, I'd put one on for sure," he said. "In that fourth line role, you're getting targeted by other guys. If you're not playing on the fourth line, then you're not going to have as many opportunities to fight." Weise doesn't want to take his helmet off to fight, which several players who wear visors do because that can be even more dangerous. He thinks that fighting will remain in the game, but it will probably decrease with the new visor rule. Jun 13 |
| 7 | Alexandre Grenier ActiveVancouver Canucks sign Alexandre Grenier to entry-level contract. Grenier played 25 games with EC Red Bull Salzburg of the Austrian League before playing 37 games for the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL and four games for the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. Grenier was the Canucks' third-round pick in 2011. Apr 30 |
| 8 | Nicklas Jensen ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Nicklas Jensen from AHL Chicago. Jensen was sent down to Chicago just four days after making his NHL debut April 1. He was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. They'll simply tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere. Apr 30 |
| D | 1 | Alexander Edler ActiveAlexander Edler may be dealt in the off-season. If Edler was to be traded, it would have to happen before July 1 as his no-trade contract goes into effect at that time. The Canucks need help up front and have some nice depth on the blueline so it makes sense that Edler could be the odd man out in Vancouver. May 19 |
| 2 | Kevin Bieksa ActiveKevin Bieksa called out San Jose Sharks forwards Joe Thornton and Logan Couture for embellishing penalties. Whether Bieksa was just trying to deflect attention from Vancouver's 3-0 series deficit or not, the Canucks defender went after the two Sharks hard on Monday. Bieksa called players "so-called Canadians" and said the duo exaggerate to draw penalties. "Couture, you can't go near the guy, he snaps his head back, he flails," Bieksa said Monday. "You touch him after the whistle and he is going to jump off the ice and throw himself into the glass." We'll see if Bieksa's tactic works in Game 4 on Tuesday night. May 7 |
| 3 | Dan Hamhuis ActiveDan Hamhuis will play for Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship after Vancouver's first-round exit from the NHL playoffs. He is expected to arrive Saturday and will increase the club's roster to 23 players, including eight defensemen. Hamhuis notched a goal and an assist in four playoff appearances with the Canucks. May 10 |
| 4 | Chris Tanev SidelinedVancouver coach Alain Vigneault doesn't expect Chris Tanev to be available at the start of the playoffs. Tanev is out indefinitely with a foot/ankle injury. Apr 18 |
| 5 | Jason Garrison ActiveJason Garrison scored his eighth goal of the season in the Canucks 3-1 loss to the Anaheim Ducks. Garrison has had a rough season until April. In Garrison's first 35 games, he had eight points, but in the past 12 games he has matched that. Garrison is capable of decent production thanks to his point shot but there are more talented options to consider come playoff time. If you're in a draft format in your playoff pools, then he is someone to keep your eye on. Apr 26 |
| 6 | Keith Ballard ActiveLook for the Vancouver Canucks to buy out the contract of Keith Ballard in the off-season. The Canucks are up against the cap and should they buy out Ballard and trade Roberto Luongo, they will free up $9.5 million in cap space which will go a long way to signing the seven or eight players they will need next season to fill out their roster. Stay tuned. May 19 |
| 7 | Cam Barker ActiveCam Barker successfully cleared waivers. The Canucks still opted to keep Barker on their active roster. He was plus-one in 12:43 minutes of playing time Thursday. Apr 5 |
| 8 | Andrew Alberts ActiveAndrew Alberts was moved to the fourth line from the blueline for Thursday's game against Detroit. Alberts was originally scheduled to be a healthy scratch but when Christopher Higgins was unable to go due to the flu, Alberts drew into the lineup. He played only 2:47 minutes and saw no action in the third or overtime period. Feb 3 |
| 9 | Derek Joslin ActiveDerek Joslin has been called up from the minors. He has split the 2012-13 season between the AHL's Chicago Wolves and Worcester Sharks. Joslin has four goals, 16 points and 47 penalty minutes in 66 minor-league contests this year. Apr 17 |
| 10 | Frank Corrado ActiveDefenseman Frank Corrado could have a bigger role next season for the Vancouver Canucks. The rookie played in the OHL this past season before playing six games in the NHL for Vancouver at the end of the regular season and the playoffs as the Canucks were impressed enough with his playoff performance to burn a year of his entry level contract. The Canucks will likely buy out the contract of Keith Ballard, giving Corrado a spot in the lineup if he is able to earn it in training camp. Otherwise, expect him to spend some time in the minors honing his craft. May 19 |
| G | 1 | Cory Schneider ActiveAs far as Cory Schneider is concerned, bigger pads aren't always to the goaltender's benefit. Whether or not to shrink goaltender pads in order to increase scoring has been an ongoing debate in the NHL for years. "I find sometimes that the bigger pads get in the way," Schneider said. "I can’t get down there quickly and they’re sort of hitting and clipping each other. Some guys prefer shorter pads (Jonathan Quick) and you can look at it both ways." At the same time, Schneider pointed out that goaltending involves muscle memory and to reduce the save of goaltender pads and the change could throw goaltenders off. Of course, there's also concerns that shrinking goaltender's pads could lead to injuries. Jun 6 |
| 2 | Roberto Luongo ActiveRoberto Luongo could be an option for the New York Islanders if the right deal surfaced. TSN's Bob McKenzie brought up on his Twitter page that "it's believed" the Islanders would be interested "under right circumstances." However, for that to happen the team would have to decide how much potential free agent Evgeni Nabokov wants in a new contract first and then what kind of assets would have to move in the hypothetical trade. May 30 |
| 3 | Joe Cannata ActiveJoe Cannata will serve as Vancouver's backup netminder in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series against San Jose. He was called up by the Canucks last week when Cory Schneider was hurt. He will occupy the bench, with Roberto Luongo in goal until Schneider is able to return. May 1 |
| 4 | Eddie Lack ActiveVancouver Canucks recall Eddie Lack from AHL Chicago. Lack underwent season-ending hip surgery in January, which might've thrown a monkey wrench into any plans to trade Roberto Luongo during the season. Lack was recalled along with a host of other Wolves after Chicago missed the AHL playoffs. He obviously won't play and instead will tag along with the Canucks and get a chance to experience the playoff atmosphere. Apr 30 |
