Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Two goals in Sunday's loss
Cootes scored twice in WHL Seattle's 5-3 loss to Victoria on Sunday.
Cootes has four goals and two assists over his last four contests. He's up to nine goals and 21 points through 14 outings at the WHL level this season. The Thunderbirds' captain has plenty of talent to elevate his scoring totals into the upper tier of the WHL even after spending some time in the NHL at the start of the campaign.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Six-point eruption for T-Birds
Cootes scored twice and added four assists in WHL Seattle's 7-3 win over Vancouver on Saturday.
Canucks fans were likely split on this one if they support the local junior team as well, as the future star of the NHL club shredded the Giants in this outing. Cootes is up to five goals and eight assists over eight appearances since returning to the Thunderbirds following an NHL stint to begin 2025-26. It's obvious why the Canucks wanted to give the 18-year-old an audition, as he looks to be too talented to be challenged by junior hockey at this point.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Three-point effort in WHL win
Cootes scored two goals and added an assist in WHL Seattle's 4-3 win over Prince George on Saturday.
Cootes' stay in the NHL with the Canucks lasted three games before he went back to junior. He's taken very little time to get back on track with the Thunderbirds, putting up five points in four games since returning to the WHL. The 15th overall pick in 2025 can use his brief NHL experience this year as a learning opportunity, but he needs time to continue growing his game at a lower level.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Headed back to juniors
Cootes was reassigned to WHL Seattle on Tuesday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.
Cootes played in Vancouver's first three games of the season, registering zero points, zero shots and three hits. Considering the 18-year-old center racked up 26 goals and 37 assists in 63 regular-season games for Seattle last year, the organization was likely hoping for more out of him during his stint in the NHL. Once Cootes wraps up his season with the Thunderbirds, he could be brought back up for the final few games of the 2025-26 campaign without burning a year of his ELC.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Gets into first NHL game
Cootes made his NHL debut in Thursday's 5-1 win over Calgary.
Cootes had an impressive 2:40 of power-play ice time, but he logged a modest 11:14 overall. He also finished the game with a hit and a minus-1 rating. The 18-year-old is probably in the midst of a nine-game audition with Vancouver. If he doesn't make a sufficient impression by the end of that stretch, then the Canucks will likely loan Cootes back to WHL Seattle for additional seasoning.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Likely good to go for training camp
Cootes (undisclosed) is expected to be ready for the start of Vancouver's training camp Thursday, Thomas Drance of The Athletic reports Sunday.
The Canucks relayed that Cootes was held out of Sunday's prospects game versus the Kraken for precautionary reasons, per Drance. The 2025 first-round selection (No. 15 overall) will compete for a roster spot with Vancouver during training camp, but he'll most likely continue to hone his craft with WHL Seattle in 2025-26.

Cootes (undisclosed) will not play in Sunday's prospects game against the Kraken, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic.
Cootes departed Saturday's contest versus Seattle due to an undisclosed injury. It's currently unclear if the 18-year-old will be ready for the start of Vancouver's training camp, which begins Thursday.

Canucks' Braeden Cootes: Puts pen to paper
Cootes signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Canucks on Wednesday.
Cootes was drafted 15th overall in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft. The 18-year-old center produced 63 points over 60 regular-season games with WHL Seattle in his draft year and is expected to return to the Thunderbirds for 2025-26 to continue his development. He's also been involved in the U17 and U18 squads for Team Canada over the last two years, so it wouldn't be surprising for him to be in the mix for a roster spot for the World Junior Championship this winter.
