Vancouver Canucks fans won’t have to wait long to see one of the team’s newest prospects in action.
Just a few days after the 2026 NHL Draft, USA Hockey added Brooks Rogowski to the roster for the 2026 World Junior Summer Showcase, giving the Canucks’ first pick of the second round an early-stage international test later this month.
The showcase runs in Windsor, Ontario, from July 26 to August 1 and features Canada, the USA, Sweden and Finland. The Americans will split into two teams for the opening two days.
USA White opens against Finland on Day 1 and Sweden on Day 2, while USA Blue faces the other two opponents in the opposite order. After that, the groups will combine for the final three games, with players rotating in and out.
In most cases, USA Hockey sends returning players home after one game so the first-year players can finish the event.
Rogowski was taken 33rd overall by Vancouver, making him the first pick of the second round. The 6-foot-7, 236-pound forward spent his draft season with the Oshawa Generals in the Ontario Hockey League, where he put up 15 goals and 27 assists for 42 points in 46 games. He also skated in six games with the USNTDP, adding one goal and four points.
He’s one of 16 other 2026 draftees on the showcase roster, a group that includes Mikey Berchild, Tommy Bleyl, Nick Bogas, Ryan Cameron, Wyatt Cullen, Ryder Fetterolf, Jack Hextall, JP Hurlbert, Brady Knowling, Casey Mutryn, Landon Nycz, Victor Plante, Chase Reid, Timofei Runtso, Luke Schairer and Logan Stuart.

Blue Jackets Young Core Suddenly Carries More Risk Than Fans Realize
The Blue Jackets young core still looks promising on paper, but the payroll picture is getting harder to ignore. General manager Don Waddell said Kirill Marchenko is expected back next season, yet the long-term cost of keeping him will rise quickly after that, and Columbus is already navigating a contract file with Cole Sillinger after he filed for arbitration. Jet Greaves is in the mix too, which only adds to the sense that the clubs next phase is going to be about more than just developing talent.
For Vancouver, the bigger takeaway is how tightly Columbus is trying to hold onto the pieces it believes in. Sillinger drew interest from the Canucks, but the Blue Jackets valued him enough to keep him out of trade talks, and now his arbitration number becomes part of a larger balancing act. With Marchenko due for a major raise down the road and more young players moving toward expensive decisions, Columbus may be entering the part of the rebuild where keeping the core together gets just as difficult as building it in the first place.

Ducks May Be Headed For Another Costly Frank Vatrano Dilemma
The Ducks are again trying to get creative with Frank Vatranos contract, and Vancouver has at least been part of the conversation. Anaheim reached out to see whether the Canucks would have interest, but any such move runs straight into the reality of Vancouvers current money-in, money-out approach and a budget that leaves little room for taking on extra baggage.
For the Canucks, it is the kind of phone call that makes sense to answer without necessarily going any further. There is always a market for useful scoring help, but this one comes with financial complications that make a fit difficult, and Vancouver is not in a position to overspend just to solve another teams problem. Around the league, the rumor mill is busy in other places too, with Shane Wright and his agent reportedly looking at possible new landing spots, but for Vancouver the bigger question is whether this is simply another name on the board or one that gets any real traction.

Canucks Just Sent A Surprising Message With Luke Schenn Reunion
Luke Schenns return to Vancouver says as much about the Canucks blue-line picture as it does about the veteran himself. The one-year deal gives the club a familiar, steady option after his ice time has already trended down in recent seasons, and it fits a roster that is trying to balance experience with a wave of younger defensemen coming through.
The interesting part is how carefully the Canucks appear to be managing the reunion. Schenn is not being brought back to be a nightly anchor, but as part of a rotation that can be adjusted as needed, which puts more pressure on the right side and on the players trying to claim those minutes. For Filip Hronek, Tom Willander and Victor Mancini, the move adds another layer to an already crowded competition, and it suggests Vancouver is willing to lean on depth even if it means a more controlled role for a player it knows well.
