General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that D Ethan Bear completed successful shoulder surgery. Bear, injured at the 2023 IIHF World Championship, is expected to be out for 6 months.

Allvin, the Canucks and Bear have some decisions to make regarding his contract status.

According to CapFriendly:

The Canucks can either give Ethan Bear a Qualifying Offer ($2.2M) and retain his rights, not QO him and allow him to become a UFA, or sign him to an extension and then place him on LTIR until he returns in 6 months.

If he does receive a QO and signs it, they can also then place him on LTIR.

Elias Pettersson became only the 2nd forward in the last 22 years to win the Hardest Shot competition at the 2023 NHL All-Stars Skills Competition on Friday night February 3, 2023. No stick should be flexed that hard.

Bo Horvat endorses Elias Pettersson for next Canucks Captain. No truth to rumour that endorsement fueling dissention in locker room. Locker room empty this week.

Horvat on whether Elias Pettersson could be #Canucks captain:

“He’d get my vote.”

Canucks Management confused where Thatcher Demko trade talk speculation coming from after clearly making no player protected from the rebuild…retooling…house cleaning….whatever they are doing exactly.

.@DarrenDreger (@rayanddregs) on #Canucks management's stance regarding the Thatcher Demko rumours:

"They're as surprised and confused as anyone as to where this trade speculation is coming from."@VanMortgage | https://t.co/qsmXdiqrjN
