2024 OFFSEASON PREVIEW VANCOUVER CANUCKS

 The Vancouver Canucks' 2023-2024 season was a successful and surprising campaign because they were not expected to be major contenders initially, however, the Canucks exceeded expectations by winning their division and making a significant playoff run. Vancouver Canucks won the Pacific Divison title and managed to defeat Nashville in 7 games even though they were playing without Thatcher Demko and moved onto to play the Edmonton Oilers in the second round, but they would ultimately fall short in Game 7. After the success of last season, Vancouver should look to improve the team in the offseason, but they only have so much cap space to fill many holes on the roster.

Vancouver Canucks buyout Ilya Mikheyev; Buyout will leave a 1.55 million cap hit until 2028.


A three-team trade is made between the Vancouver Canucks, Boston Bruins, and Carolina Hurricanes

Vancouver Canucks get rights Jake Guentzel

Boston Bruins get rights to Elias Lindholm 

Carolina Hurricanes rights to Jake DeBrusk, Rights to Nikita Zadorov

This trade gives all three teams the pieces that they need; Vancouver gets the rights to Jake Guentzel, so they can get a head start on signing him, the Boston Bruins get the rights to Elias Lindholm, and Carolina gets Jake DeBrusk, who is a solid fit with their crop of players and Nikita Zadorov, who could replace Brady Skjei. 


Vancouver Canucks only have 5 picks in the 2024 NHL Draft, including no first and 2nd round picks

2024 NHL Draft

93-Kasper Pikkarainen (RW)

107-Hiroki Gojsic (C)

162-Blake Montgomery (LW)

189-Kevin Israelsson (D)

222-Jacob Oster (G)

The Vancouver Canucks didn't draft anyone that really jumps out at you, but they did manage to snag some solid prospects for where they were drafting and how few picks they had.


The Vancouver Canucks have 7 UFAs and 1 RFA to re-sign this offseason with 19.25 million in cap space.

Free Agents Re-signed:

Jake Guentzel (LW)-7yrs/9M per

Dakota Joshua (LW)-4yrs/3M per

Dylan DeMelo (D)-4yrs/3M per

Arturs Silvos (G)-1yr/1M per

Logan Stanley (D)-1yr/1M per

Extensions:

Brock Boeser-8yrs/7.5M per


After free agency, the Vancouver Canucks have 2.25 Million in cap space left to make more moves.


To Refine the roster, one trade is made:

Vancouver Canucks trade Vasily Podkolzin, Tristen Nielsen,1st round pick '25 to the Columbus Blue Jackets for Ivan Provorov. Columbus retains 25% of Provorov's contract. 

Columbus isn't likely to re-sign Ivan Provorov after his current contract is up, so it make sense for them to trade him for something. For Vancouver, they would be getting a top 4 defenseman, and it would allow them to split Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek, if they choose to do so for more Defensive depth.


2024-25 Vancouver Canucks

J.Guentzel-JT.Miller-B.Boeser

N.Hoglander-E.Pettersson-L.Karlsson

D.Joshua-A.Raty-C.Garland

P.DiGiuseppe-P.Suter-N.Aman

Q.Hughes-D.DeMelo

I.Provorov-F.Hronek

C.Soucy-M.Friedman

T.Demko

A.Silovs

Spares: D.Klimovich, L.Stanley, N.Juulsen

If the Vancouver Canucks are able to pull of these moves in the offseason, they will be a very good team next season.

Fantasy Hockey Keeper League Advice

Keeper leagues add a layer of strategy and long-term planning to fantasy hockey. Every keeper league has its own unique rules and scoring settings, so adjust your strategy accordingly. By following these tips and adapting to your league's specific dynamics, you can increase your chances of long-term success. Here are some tips to help you dominate your Fantasy Hockey Keeper Leagues. Number of Keepers and League Settings When deciding on keepers, it is very important to know how many keepers the league allows you to keep and the league scoring system, because there are players that work better in H2H CAT leagues as opposed to H2H leagues with standard scoring categories.  If you can only keep a few players, focus on those who provide the most value in your specific scoring format. Keep players who excel in categories that are heavily weighted in your league (e.g., power-play points, hits, blocks, faceoffs). If the league uses Rotisserie or Points settings, you will have to take that...

Fantasy Hockey All Star Edition Defenseman

 These are the best defenseman so far this season in Fantasy Hockey: Rasmus Dahlin Rasmus Dahlin has been by far the best defenseman in Fantasy this season, and it isn't close; he has 13 goals, 35 assists, 23 PPP, 119 SOG and a +16 rating on a bad Buffalo team. If Dahlin can sustain this type of production for the rest of the season, he will be a favorite to win the Norris trophy. Cale Makar Cale Makar has been a tad bit disappointing considering he was a top 5 pick in most fantasy drafts, but he is still having a fantastic season; he has tallied 13 goals, 30 assists, 21 PPP, 136 SOG, along with 3 GWG and a +7 rating. His dip in production may be due in large part to the injuries on Colorado, but as the team gets healthy, look for a strong second half from Cale Makar and Colorado. Roman Josi Roman Josi has once again been the best player for the Nashville Predators, putting up 12 goals, 23 assists, 17 PPP, 187 SOG, 4 GWG and a surprising 100 blocks, which is only 33 shy of last yea...

FANTASY HOCKEY WAIVER WIRE PLAYERS TO PICKUP

C Sean Couturier -After missing 2+ years, Sean Couturier is back and it seems like he hasn't missed a beat. Believe it or not, Couturier has been one of the top centers in the league so far with his all-around play, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 2 PPP, 63 FW, 24 SOG, and 1 SHP. Despite showing that he is still an elite center, Couturier is only owned in 20% of fantasy leagues. Pick him up now, while you still can. Ryan Johansen - Serves as the Avalanche's 2nd line center and plays on their all-world 1st pp unit. Despite not being the player he used to be, Johansen is still a valuable fantasy asset because of the players he plays with. Johansen has 4 goals and 4 PPPs along with 63 FW so far this season. He is owned in 29% of fantasy leagues. Sean Monahan - Someone must have gotten a time machine and put Sean Monahan in it because he is playing like he was back when he was in his prime. Monahan has been arguably the best player on Montreal this year, with 3 goals, 6 points, 2 PP...
