Vitaly Kravtsov Re-Signs with the Canucks | Rebound Season Incoming? + SummerSlam in Vegas Was Real

The Vancouver Canucks have officially re-signed Vitaly Kravtsov to a one-year deal—and the question now is: Can he finally break through? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we dive into Kravtsov’s return to Vancouver, what it means for the team’s bottom six, and why a quiet, low-risk deal like this could actually turn into a steal.

Once a top-10 pick with elite puck skills and KHL pedigree, Kravtsov hasn’t lived up to expectations in the NHL—but that might change this season. With improved structure under Adam Foote and a clearer role in the lineup, there’s a real shot at a rebound campaign.

Plus, Kyle checks in from Las Vegas, where he witnessed WWE’s SummerSlam live—and yeah, wrestling might not be “fake” after all when you see it up close. From flying elbows to shoot promos, Vegas turned into the squared circle of truth.

This episode is packed with:

🔥 Kravtsov’s new contract breakdown

🔥 Why the Canucks believe there’s still upside

🔥 Roster implications + cap hits

🔥 Kyle’s take on Roman Reigns, LA Knight & the realest moments from SummerSlam
