In today's Locked On Canucks, we're diving into one of the most fascinating behind-the-scenes stories to come out of the 2026 NHL Draft: the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa Senators reportedly came surprisingly close to making a draft-day trade.

Vancouver was reportedly trying to move up from No. 33 and No. 41, offering both picks to Ottawa in an attempt to acquire No. 25, with another pick coming back to Vancouver.

So what was Vancouver trying to accomplish?

Was there a specific player the Canucks were targeting at No. 25? Did Vancouver have its eye on a prospect who eventually went off the board before their next selection? And how different could the Canucks' draft have looked if the deal had actually gone through?

We'll break down the trade that almost happened, what Vancouver was willing to give up, why Ottawa ultimately said no, and what it tells us about the Canucks' approach to rebuilding through the draft.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Canucks & Senators nearly make a draft-day trade

✔ Vancouver's offer of No. 33 + No. 41

✔ Why the Canucks wanted Ottawa's No. 25 pick

✔ What prospect could Vancouver have been targeting?

✔ Why Ottawa ultimately rejected the deal

✔ What the failed trade tells us about Vancouver's rebuild

✔ Looking back at what the Canucks eventually did at the 2026 NHL Draft

What player do you think the Canucks were trying to move up for? And would you have given Ottawa No. 33 and No. 41 for No. 25?

In today's Locked On Canucks episode, we're looking at one of the most intriguing free agents still available and asking a simple question:

Should the Vancouver Canucks be targeting Eeli Tolvanen?

Tolvanen remains unsigned after completing his two-year contract with the Seattle Kraken, and after putting up 36 points in 78 games last season, the 27-year-old winger could be one of the most interesting value additions still sitting on the market.

The Finnish winger brings exactly the type of elements Vancouver could use: offensive ability, a proven NHL shot, versatility on the wing, and a willingness to play a physical game. He also finished second among Seattle forwards in hits last season, showing that his game isn't simply about scoring.

So why is Tolvanen still available?

We'll discuss whether there's an opportunity for the Canucks to take advantage of the market and potentially sign a player who could provide legitimate middle-six scoring without breaking the bank.

Could Tolvanen fit alongside Vancouver's top players? Could he become a power-play weapon? And could the Canucks eventually turn a short-term signing into a trade-deadline asset if the season doesn't go according to plan?

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Why Eeli Tolvanen remains one of the best UFAs available

✔ What Tolvanen could bring to the Vancouver Canucks

✔ His 36-point season with the Seattle Kraken

✔ Why his physicality makes him more than just a scoring winger

✔ Where Tolvanen could fit into Vancouver's lineup

✔ Could the Canucks sign him to a short-term deal?

✔ Is Tolvanen the perfect low-risk, high-upside addition?

The Canucks don't necessarily need another superstar. They need smart additions that make the roster deeper, harder to play against, and more dangerous offensively.

Eeli Tolvanen might check a lot of those boxes.

Should the Vancouver Canucks sign Eeli Tolvanen? And what would be the maximum contract you'd give him?

It's something that most Vancouver Canucks fans believe won't happen.

But, is Elias Pettersson finally about to prove everybody wrong?

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the one area of Pettersson's game that has quietly improved over the past couple of seasons. And no, we're not talking about shot blocks.

The boys also look at the backup goalie battle, a sneaky Canucks trade candidate, and a former Canucks prospect who's finally about to become a full-time NHLer.
