The Hockey News' Vancouver Canucks Mailbag: Chytil, The 2025 Draft & More
Welcome to this edition of The Hockey News' Vancouver Canucks Mailbag. In this series, we answer your questions about what is going on with the Canucks. In this article, we look at where Filip Chytil fits in the lineup, the upcoming 2025 NHL Entry Draft & more. Latest From THN's Vancouver Canucks Site: Could The Canucks Lose Manny Malhotra To The Stars During The 2025 Off-Season? Advertisement Vancouver Canucks Head Coach Adam Foote Discusses New Assistant Coaches Kevin Dean, Brett McLean, And Scott Young 'They're Great Hockey Minds, And They'll Help Us A Lot': Canucks Adam Foote Details How He Will Utilize The Sedins During The 2025–26 Season Filip Chytil, first or second line winger? While Chytil is primarily a center, there is an argument that he could be dominant on the wing. One of the reasons why Chytil would work on the wing is his ability to create controlled zone entries, rather than dump and chase the puck. If the Canucks can add some depth down the middle, bumping Chytil out to the wing and playing him as a duo with Jonathan Lekkerimäki would give Vancouver more options in the middle six. Why are the Canucks so opposed to building through the draft? If they trade this year's pick, that will be only two first-round picks in 6 years? This is a good question that I wish I had an answer for. While the Canucks have found some late-round gems recently, like Kirill Kudryavtsev, Ty Mueller, and Ty Young, not having selections in the first two rounds over the past few seasons is likely to hurt them in the future. Ultimately, why give up assets and trade for a player like Dylan Guenther when, instead, the organization can draft and develop him? If the Canucks were to acquire the rights to Marco Rossi, what could a potential trade look like? If Vancouver is interested in acquiring Marco Rossi, it will cost them a few assets. While his time with the Minnesota Wild hasn't gone as planned, he is still a young, skilled player who could slide in as a second-line center. A very possible trade package could be the 15th overall pick in 2025, along with a prospect like Sawyer Mynio or Riley Patterson. Which Abbotsford Canucks have been the most impressive to you during their playoff run? There have been many standouts during the Abbotsford Canucks 2025 Calder Cup Playoff run. Up front, Max Sasson and Linus Karlsson continue to step up, while Victor Mancini has been arguably Abbotsford's best defenceman. The real star, however, has been goaltender Artūrs Šilovs, whose recent play will force the organization into making some tough decisions during the 2025 off-season. What does the Canucks defense look like for the next three years? How does it change? How Vancouver shapes their defence in the future depends on Quinn Hughes. If he elects to stay, the only significant change would be Tom Willander for Tyler Myers, as Myers would most likely be retired by then. If Hughes decides to leave, however, it could spark a rebuild, which would mean younger players the Canucks have acquired, either through the draft or trade, getting some opportunities at the NHL level.

Canucks: Why Vancouver is now a harder sell to lure NHL free agents
Article content Signing free agents here is a challenge — with tax structure, travel, and even lack of a proper practice facility. Guentzel chose Tampa Bay and Reinhart remained in Florida with the state's no-tax advantage, while Toffoli chose San Jose. Article content While the Canucks' primary target is to land a centre through a trade — especially with the 15th overall selection in the 2025 Draft to dangle, along with a roster player and prospect — but they also need a top-six winger. Article content They struggled to score this season with a 23rd overall ranking — despite free agent Pius Suter and Kiefer Sherwood reaching new highs with 25 and 19 goals respectively — and it raises the question, 'Who is going to score?' Article content Can Pettersson rebound from 15 goals? Can Conor Garland hit 25? Will Nils Hoglander and Dakota Joshua improve dramatically from eight and seven goals respectively? Article content Landing credible support for Pettersson and Filip Chytil via a trade isn't easy. In a world of no-trade lists, no-movement clauses and franchise unrest, it's fair to ask who wants to come to Vancouver? Article content Article content You would love to hear that Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, 28 — who has four-consecutive 30-goal seasons and is fed up with nine-straight no-playoff years — wants a change of scenery. If he really wants out, and doesn't have Vancouver on his 10-team, no-go list, you give the Red Wings whatever they want. Article content The Canucks would get a true No. 1 centre with an $8.7-million annual salary cap hit for the next six seasons. And with the cap ceiling rising from $88 million to $95.5 million, $104 million and $113.5 million over the next three years, his contract would age well. Larkin was also a world hockey championship teammate and roommate of Hughes and they have trained together. Article content A prime UFA target is Panthers pivot Sam Bennett, 28, but he may not check out of Florida because he tops the club's re-sign list. The Ontario product leads the Panthers in post-season scoring with 10 points (7-3) in 13 games after hitting a career high with 51 points (25-26) in 76 games. Article content Article content Bennett will get a big bump on his expiring $4.25-million cap hit because he is hard to play against and a menace on the forecheck. He's second overall in playoff hits (68). projects a six-year extension at $6.67 million per season, but it could go higher in a bidding war.
