Sedins unhappy with Canucks’ results, weighing roster options amid dismal season

Nov 12, 2026 | 10:40 AM

VANCOUVER — Daniel and Henrik Sedin say they’re not happy with the Vancouver Canucks’ results, but they believe in their coaching staff and players.

The NHL team’s co-presidents of hockey operations spoke to reporters on Thursday about the beleaguered club, which sits at the bottom of the league standings with a 3-16-1 record.

The Canucks have lost six straight games and 16 of their last 17.

Daniel Sedin says they’re evaluating players every day but have yet to see the group put together a full, consistent effort over an entire game.

His twin brother, Henrik Sedin, says Vancouver’s front office is “looking at all players” to see what options are available for improving the team, but that the Canucks won’t simply trade top talent away to get more draft picks because they need players who can produce on the ice and support up-and-coming athletes.

The Sedins played their entire 17-season NHL careers in Vancouver and were appointed the team’s co-presidents of hockey operations in May after the Canucks finished the 2025-26 season last in the league.
