Canucks lose Rossi but at least they have Chytil

The Vancouver Canucks won’t be trading for Marco Rossi after all — the Minnesota Wild have officially signed him to a new three-year contract, keeping their young center off the market. While some fans may see that as a missed opportunity, it might not be a problem for Vancouver.

That’s because Filip Chytil is here, and he’s motivated to prove himself. After injuries and inconsistency in New York, Chytil comes to Vancouver with a clean slate, a bigger role, and the hunger to finally show he can be the answer down the middle.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:

🔥 What Rossi’s new deal means for the Canucks’ trade options

🔥 Why Chytil’s game fits Vancouver’s second-line needs

🔥 The mindset and motivation Chytil brings into 2025–26

🔥 How the Canucks can get the most out of him this season

It’s not about who you don’t get — it’s about who you do. And if Chytil delivers, the Canucks could be just fine without Marco Rossi.
