Conor Garland wanted to be a Canuck. On July 1st, 2025, he signed a 6-year, $6 million contract extension with the team that will kick in at the start of next season. The contract includes a full no-movement clause for the first 3 years of the deal. Unfortunately for Garland, he's currently on the last year of a 5x4.95 with no trade protection. The Canucks took advantage of that on Thursday night.

Here come the trades. On Wednesday, the Canucks traded Tyler Myers to the Dallas Stars (50% retained) for a 2027 2nd round pick and a 2029 4th round pick. This trade isn't a complete shock, as Myers had been held out of the Canucks' lineup for "roster-management purposes" the past 3 games, but it still wasn't a guarantee that he would be waiving his No-Movement Clause.

The Canucks are in full-blown rebuild mode now. After some struggles with labels, the Canucks seem to be comfortable calling their current stage a rebuild now. This is the most obvious pathway for the post-Hughes era, giving them a chance to actually reset the franchise and start over again with a new young core in a couple years.

Murphy’s Law states “anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.” That was the story of the Vancouver Canucks in 2025. Do I even really have to go through it? I begrudgingly will. They had a public feud between stars, traded J.T. Miller, missed the playoffs, traded for Evander Kane, started off this current season in terrible fashion, and capped the year off by trading Quinn Hughes in December. It was a real rollercoaster of a year for the team. Except it was a rollercoaster that only goes down.
