Monday Mailbag: The Höglander-Pettersson-Podkolzin line, defence depth after the top-six, and expectations for successful AHL development

The Canucks defence core is going to be interesting to follow at training camp and in the preseason. Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Quinn Hughes could play together on the team's top pairing. Jack Rathbone, Travis Dermott, Tucker Poolman, and maybe Luke Schenn will play on their third pairing, which is a mix of Jack Dermot, Tyler Myers, OEL, Quinn, Scenn, Rathbones, Burroughs and Pool man. The Höglander-Pettersson-Podkolzin line was one of the most exciting lines to watch last season. They played together for 65:35 of ice time and had a 65.8% control of expected goal share.

The Vancouver Canucks' Decision On Keeping Brock Boeser

The Vancouver Canucks are looking more and more like they are keeping Brock Boeser despite earlier trade requests. That might be the best choice for him, but at what cost?

Should the Canucks bet on Höglander with a long-term deal?

Should the Canucks bet on Höglander with a long-term deal?

Contract projections for the Vancouver Canucks' free agents suggest a two-year deal for Höglander but would a long-term contract make sense? The Vancouver Canucks don't have a lot of cap space available for next season but they also don't have many players in need of new contracts. The Canucks currently have 13 pending free agents but that includes…

3 positive takeaways from the Canucks’ 7-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers

It's only fitting that after playing one of their worst preseason game against Seattle, the Canucks would follow it up by playing one of their best. Sure, the final score was a 7-2 drubbing by Dylan Holloway and the Oilers. But a much more shorthanded Canucks lineup tightened up in the places they needed to, keeping the score close until the final…

Three dramatic 1v1 roster battles to watch for in Canucks Training Camp 2022

Of all the major sports, hockey is probably the one least built upon one-on-one competition. Shootouts aside, the game of puck-and-stick only ever briefly breaks down into a 1v1 situation, and only rarely do those situations have truly long-term consequences. But Training Camp is an exception to that rule. At the outset of every season, across 32…
