Off-season

The Canucks made their first off-season move while the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs were still in action, sending centre Jared McCann and second and fourth round picks to the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenceman Erik Gudbranson and a fifth-round pick.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/news/panthers-trade-erik-gudbranson-to-canucks/c-280805120|title=Panthers trade Gudbranson to Canucks for McCann|work=nhl.com|accessdate=June 6, 2016}} On June 27, two days after the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, the Canucks placed winger Chris Higgins on unconditional waivers and subsequently bought out the final year of his contract.{{cite web|url=http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=887548|title=Canucks confirm buyout of Higgins' contract|work=nhl.com|accessdate=June 29, 2016}}

Vancouver's 2016 training camp was held in Whistler, British Columbia, on September 22–26, 2016.{{cite web|url=http://canucks.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=888854|title=Canucks announce training camp in Whistler|website=canucks.com|date=July 7, 2016|accessdate=September 16, 2016}}

Regular season

During the team bye week in February, many Canucks players experienced mumps symptoms, with some being diagnosed with the disease. Compounded with ongoing injuries to other players at the time, the Canucks played their following game with 11 regulars out of the lineup, where they lost to the San Jose Sharks 4–1.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-report-mumps-diagnosis/c-287097944|title=Canucks report mumps diagnosis|work=Vancouver Canucks|date=February 24, 2017|accessdate=March 1, 2017}}

Preceding the 2017 NHL trade deadline, the Canucks traded long-time forward Alex Burrows to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for prospect Jonathan Dahlen on February 27, 2017.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/canucks-acquire-jonathan-dahlen/c-287185024|title=Canucks acquire Jonathan Dahlen from Senators|work=nhl.com|date=February 27, 2017|accessdate=February 27, 2017}} The following night, they traded another long-time forward, Jannik Hansen, to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Nikolay Goldobin and a conditional fourth-round pick at the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.{{cite web|url=https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-acquire-nikolay-goldobin-and-conditional-fourth-round-pick-for-jannik-hansen/c-287247472|title=Canucks Acquire Goldobin & Conditional 4th Round Pick|work=nhl.com|date=February 28, 2017|accessdate=February 28, 2017}}
