#Canucks have traded Arturs Silovs to the Penguins.

Allvin on the deal: “We wanted to give [Silovs] an opportunity elsewhere as we feel we are very well positioned in goal at the NHL, AHL and developmental level.”

We got him for a dude named Stillman and a forth round pick.

Let's talk about it.

In today’s episode, we dive into the polarizing addition of Evander Kane, one of the most debated trades in recent Canucks history.

Love him or hate him, Kane brings edge, swagger, and experience — but can he be the player that wakes up Elias Pettersson and helps reignite Vancouver’s offensive identity?

We explore:

Why Kane and Pettersson might actually have underrated chemistry

What Kane’s energy, physicality, and chaos could do for a Canucks team that’s lacked edge when it matters.

Whether Adam Foote, now the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, is the right bench boss to manage Kane’s game and keep this roster locked in.

This episode unpacks the gamble, the upside, and the volatility of a Kane-Pettersson pairing, and what it says about the Canucks’ mentality heading into the 2025–26 season.

We'll also predict the line up moving forward for the Canucks.

Welcome back to Locked On Canucks — your go-to podcast for all things Vancouver Canucks, delivered with bite, edge, and honesty.

In this episode, we zoom in on three under-the-radar X-factors who could help define the Canucks’ identity heading into the 2025–26 season:

Dakota Joshua, Nils Höglander, and Kiefer Sherwood.

These three bring grit, speed, and a no-nonsense work ethic that winning teams are built on. But with roster decisions looming, there’s buzz that Höglander and Joshua could be on the trade block, while Kiefer Sherwood might be in line for a contract extension.

We break it all down:

Why trading Joshua or Höglander could backfire

What keeping all three could mean for team toughness, chemistry, and playoff identity

How Sherwood fits into the long-term plans, and why Rick Tocchet might love him more than you think

If the Canucks want to be more than a one-line, finesse team — this gritty trio could be the heartbeat of a more balanced, more dangerous roster.

PLUS:

We briefly touch on Gavin McKenna’s groundbreaking decision to forgo the CHL and commit to NCAA hockey at Penn State — a historic move from a top prospect that could shift the junior hockey landscape forever.
