2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bains is a decent change-of-pace forward to fill out a bottom-six spot, but his minor-league stats suggest he could also tap into some extra scoring. He has just one goal in 21 regular-season NHL games over the last two years, but he produced 43 points in 50 regular-season outings and an additional 24 points in 24 playoff games for AHL Abbotsford in 2024-25. Looking ahead, there's no guarantee he makes the Canucks' roster out of training camp, but he should be an effective bottom-six fill-in whenever he gets a call-up. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $1.55 million contract with the Canucks in June of 2025.
Hits waivers
Bains was placed on waivers Tuesday, according to Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK.
ANALYSIS
Bains has provided one goal, five points, 14 shots on net and 22 hits across 26 NHL appearances this season. Assuming he clears waivers, he will report to AHL Abbotsford.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could return Friday
Bains, who was sent down to the minors Monday, might be recalled ahead of Friday's matchup with the Flyers, Randip Jana of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Bains was reportedly in the mix for a roster spot right up to the final minutes before he was supplanted by Aatu Raty. If the 23-year-old Bains is added to the lineup against Philadelphia, it would likely be in a bottom-six role. If Bains isn't getting enough minutes at the NHL level, don't be surprised to see him sent back to the minors for more opportunities.
