Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has acquired forwards Marco Rossi and Liam Öhgren, defenceman Zeev Buium and a first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defenceman Quinn Hughes.

The Vancouver Canucks' rebuild has begun, and their newest additions will go a long way toward developing a new era.

Vancouver Canucks fans are clearly fed up with their last-place team after a jersey was thrown on the ice Thursday night.

Alex Tuch sat due to illness, so Trevor Kuntar entered the lineup for his NHL debut. The 24-year-old, a Buffalo-area native drafted by Boston in 2020, flew to Vancouver after signing a two-way contract with the Sabres on Wednesday.

Only one NHL team has hit double-digits in regulation home losses so far throughout the 2025–26 season. It’s the same team that currently sits dead-last in the NHL’s standings at 32nd with a total of 25 points collected throughout 31 games.
