What the Canucks are getting in new trade acquisitions Jacob Quillan and Brandon BuhrQuillan, 24, will report to the AHL Abbotsford Canucks, while the 24-year-old North Vancouver product Buhr will start out with the Kalamazoo Wings in the ECHL. Quillan first caught our attention in 2024, when he became an undrafted college free agent after putting up 46 points in 39 games with Quinnipiac University. Here is what our own Dave Hall wrote about him at the time:“Despite being recognized more for his work ethic, the 21-year-old has also proven himself in the offensive zone. He excels as a relentless presence at the netfront, creating chaos and showcasing strong hand-eye and quick hands in tight… He has middle-six NHL upside written all over his game.”That was then, and this is now. In the time since turning pro and signing with Toronto, Quillan has appeared in 24 total NHL games — 23 of which came last season. He’s got one goal and two assists to his name at the NHL level, but has proven to be a solid AHL contributor.

The Saskatchewan Roughriders are finally getting the band back together in the receiving corps for Saturday’s clash with the Montreal Alouettes. Samuel Emilus and KeeSean Johnson will both officially make their return to the lineup this week. It marks the first time that Saskatchewan’s top three receivers, which include Kian Schaffer-Baker, have been healthy at the same time since Week 8.

Montreal AlouettesThe Montreal Alouettes will start Dustin Crum at quarterback against the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday. The team released its official depth chart on Friday. This will be Crum’s first start of 2026. The 27-year-old joined the team as a free agent in February. He has completed 10-of-13 pass attempts for 86 yards in spot duty this season, and rushed for 32 yards and five scores.

So Gavin McKenna was benched on Thursday and played less than seven minutes against the Sabres. Justin Bourne takes a detailed look at what the 18-year-old did with his ice time to try and make sense of the benching.

Real Madrid’s dispute with Javier Tebas escalated on Friday as the club demanded his resignation and the LaLiga president accused its leadership of intimidation. Separately, the RFEF Appeals Committee rejected Madrid’s challenge to Vinícius Júnior’s four-match suspension, leaving the Brazilian set to miss El Clásico unless a further appeal changes the outcome.

The Toronto Maple Leafs recently made headlines in the trade universe once again, this time acquiring Aatu Raty from the Vancouver Canucks. The deal saw forwards Brandon Buhr and Jacob Quillan head to Canucks for the 52nd overall selection in 2021. Many could admit that Raty is not a huge name on the market right now, nor one that many teams, if any, showed interest in. However, the Oulu, Finland, native brings something more to the team, which is why John Chayka acquired him. Raty provides a solid piece for roster flexibilityThe chances of the 23-year-old playing regularly in the Leafs lineup are slim. However, things happen. Unexpected injuries more often than not; just look at the John Tavares situation from last night. The move to acquire Raty could allow the Leafs to slot in another centerman, or forward in general, should an awkward injury were to take a member of the team. He could very well just stay with the Toronto Marlies in the AHL for now, until needed. After all, Raty spent a chunk of time with the Bridgeport Islanders (now Hamilton Hammers) in the New York Islanders system and the Abbotsford Canucks in Vancouver's system.
