The Canucks have been making some moves over this off season and it was a big one because they made a 8 year contract Extension for Zeev Buium a 20 year old defensemen for the Canucks defensive lineup.
Zeev Buium was drafted on 2024 as the 12th overall pick in the draft where he got picked up by the Minnesota wild just to only play one year with them.
He played a total of 41 games in the 2024 season with the Minnesota Wild scoring a 3 goals and was able to deliver over 11 assists. Which means he got 14 points in 31 games since he has played with the Minnesota Wild in the 2024 season not bad stats for a young rookie defensemen.
After the season ended and the 2025 season started on December 12th of 2025 he joined with the Vancouver Canucks after being traded from the Minnesota Wild.
And in that trade was with Marco Rossi and Liam Ohgren along with an 2026 first round pick and for an exchange it came with trading away a pro defensemen Quinn Hughes. Which was a sad day for Canucks fans.
But during the 2025 season Zeev Buium played a total of 45 games played with the Canucks but he only was able to score 3 goals and was only able to come up with 9 assist which led to a total of 12 points in his debut with the Vancouver Canucks which was 2 points less then what he got with the Minnesota Wild.
Which means for his total stat he has 6 goals 20 assists with a sum total of 26 points in his career but the.
General Manager Ryan Johnson saw potential in Zeev Buium and also saying that he brings a’ lot of Energy on the ice and showing a leadership quality which on quote he said about Zeev Buium that “You really don’t find in a ‘lot of 20 year old’s which is astonishing” Hearing these words shows a’ lot on how excited the Canucks are for extending this young man’s talent and using it on the ice for 8 years to come.
And from hearing all about Zeev Buium I think that he would be a useful player on the Canucks lineup. And for what I have seen from him and his highlights he can definitely put up some assists and maybe some more goals. But all we got to do is see what Zeev Buium is capable of in this next coming up season for the Vancouver Canucks.
