Max Sasson Eyed for Linemate Role with Paul Cotter

Max Sasson is under consideration to reprise his role as a linemate with Paul Cotter for the upcoming season. The two forwards previously built rapport while playing for Team USA at the 2026 IIHF World Championship in May. The Canucks are exploring this pairing to maximize familiarity and offensive cohesion. Sasson's performance at the international level has positioned him as a key candidate for a consistent spot in the lineup alongside Cotter as the team finalizes its roster.
