It’s official, the Vancouver Canucks have now lost all of their key free agents to different teams.

In today’s NHL rumor rundown, word is that Alex Pietrangelo is close to signing with the Vegas Golden Knights but a deal needs to come first to clear up cap space. The Vancouver Canucks have been reaching out to defenseman in free agency and it’s not clear who they are zoned in on. The Winnipeg

In today’s NHL rumor rundown, there is news that the Calgary Flames might be a “wild card” team to watch this offseason. And, in saying so, what does that mean for goaltender Cam Talbot? The Florida Panthers may be changing the look of their blue line and after making a trade Friday, could have their
It’s no secret that the Vancouver Canucks are trying to shed salary to fit in their unrestricted free agents of Tyler Toffoli, Chris Tanev, and Jacob Markstrom.
