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.
Falling out of favor
Bains was scratched for the fifth straight game in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Bains played in 18 straight games to start the season, but he managed just three assists. Two of those helpers came in the first three contests, and his decline has led to him sitting out after watching his ice time drop as the Canucks got healthier following a bad run of injuries. Bains has added 13 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-2 rating this season. If he continues to see limited opportunities at the NHL level, he could get reassigned to AHL Abbotsford when the Canucks get some forwards back from injured reserve.

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.
