The 2016–17 Vancouver Canucks season is the 47th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on May 22, 1970.[1] For the third consecutive season, they opened the season with a match against the Calgary Flames.[2]

Off-season

The Canucks made their first off-season move while the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs were still in action, sending centre Jared McCann and second and fourth round picks to the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenceman Erik Gudbranson and a fifth-round pick.[3] On June 27, two days after the 2016 NHL Draft, the Canucks placed winger Chris Higgins on unconditional waivers and subsequently bought out the final year of his contract.[4]

Training camp

Vancouver's 2016 training camp was held in Whistler, British Columbia on September 22–26, 2016.[5]
