Vancouver Canucks 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
The Rick Tocchet era experienced an amazing meteoric rise and a stunning collapse within its short two-year window. In 2023-24, the Vancouver Canucks were the biggest surprise in the NHL with 109 points and a playoff spot. In their first full season under Tocchet, the Canucks improved from 83 to 109 points. However, midnight finally struck for Cinderella in the second round of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Like a mediocre stock that rose too far and too fast, the Canucks suffered a market correction in 2025. Vancouver fell back and failed to qualify for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. All of the weaknesses of the Canucks were exposed, and Tocchet squeezed the orange dry. After the season, Tocchet declined to return and instead joined the Philadelphia Flyers. Adam Foote will take the reins for the season ahead.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Evander Kane
Out: Pius Suter
The trade is one-for-one, and it’s not a win for Vancouver. Evander Kane looks like a downgrade. Kane is probably better than his underlying numbers give him credit for, and he was a noticeable force during the playoffs … aside from his penalty box parade, of course. He brings a different element to Vancouver’s top six and should add some offensive pop. But it would’ve been nice to see the Canucks retain Pius Suter on top of that. If it were either, Vancouver made a questionable choice — especially when factoring in position.
Without Suter, the Canucks remain thin up front and especially down the middle. His defensive presence will be seriously missed. Depending on Filip Chytil to stay available for an entire season is a huge gamble, and the Canucks will be in trouble the minute he’s out.
It’s not a disastrous offseason, but with these being the only moves so far, it doesn’t inspire much confidence.
Yet, could there be optimism emanating from Vancouver? The Canucks brought back Brock Boeser -- one of the most coveted free agents this summer -- and goaltender Thatcher Demko and forward Conor Garland signed contract extensions.
Of course, many have wondered if the $5.125 million AAV they committed to top-six winger Kane, who arrived in a trade, would have been better spent to address the situation around their centers. Especially when they face questions about who can replace Suter in the bottom six, and if they can create the cap space to find that answer at some point before or during training camp.
Key Players
RW Brock Boeser has been a Canuck his entire NHL career, which began in 2016-17. He is a two-time NHL All-Star, including last season. Last year, Boeser scored 40 goals. This year, Boeser has 25 goals, 25 assists, 50 points, and a -24.
D Quinn Hughes is reaching elite status as a blueliner. Hughes was the 7th overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft by the Canucks. Hughes was named to the NHL All-Star Game for the second time in his career in 2024. Last year, he scored 17 goals and 75 assists. This season, Hughes has 16 goals, 60 assists, 76 points, and a +3.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Kevin Lankinen has a 2.64 goals against average and a .901 save percentage. His record is 25-15-10 with four shutouts.
Head Coach
Head coach Rick Tocchet was a longtime NHL star who played with six teams and is a former NHL head coach, having served with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Arizona Coyotes. In 2024, Tocchet was the recipient of the Jack Adams Award for NHL Coach of the Year. Tocchet and the Canucks parted ways after the season.
Adam Foote was a defenseman in the NHL from 1991 to 2011 and then transitioned into becoming a minor league and NHL assistant coach. This is his first NHL head coaching assignment.

Vancouver Canucks History
Born in 1970 with the Buffalo Sabres in the second wave of the NHL Great Expansion, the Vancouver Canucks are still searching for their first Stanley Cup championship. The Canucks have made the Stanley Cup Final three times (1982, 1994, and 2011), but never won it.
Although the Canucks have had some notable eras in their history, they have often lacked a consistent identity. Over the years, Vancouver has undergone numerous logo, color, and uniform changes. Vancouver fans have a fickle relationship with the team. In good times, they will pack Rogers Arena. And they cared enough to riot after losing game seven of the 2011 Stanley Cup Final to the Boston Bruins.
But when times aren’t so good, they are not inclined to fork over big-ticket prices and instead prefer to spend more of their time and less of their money on the many diversions that the Pacific city of Vancouver has to offer.
Past superstars of the Canucks include the Sedin twins, Henrik and Daniel, from Sweden. Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure, Kirk McLean, Roberto Luongo, Don Lever, Dennis Ververgaert, Harold Snepsts, and Chris Oddleifson are other revered figures in Canucks’ history.
The 2021-22 season gave Canucks fans and gamblers reason to believe in the future. Following an 8-15-2 start, Bruce Boudreau took over as the Canucks head coach. Boudreau nearly got the Canucks into the playoffs with a record of 35-15-10. Boudreau reminded everyone why he is one of the great turnaround artists in the NHL. But Rick Tocchet exceeded him in 2024.
