Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images ÅMAN’S 2024–25 SEASON Åman has consistently been a solid depth player for the Canucks, though he has yet to play in a full NHL season. He played for both Vancouver and Abbotsford this season, scoring one goal and five assists in 19 NHL games. In the AHL [https://thehockeynews.com/ahl], he posted seven goals and 23 assists in 36 games. Despite being on the Canucks at the start of April, Åman’s season was cut short after he took a scary fall into the boards during practice. He was also unable to join Abbotsford for their 2025 Calder Cup Playoff run [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/latest-news/reliving-the-abbotsford-canucks-2025-calder-cup-win]. ÅMAN’S 2024–25 LETTER GRADE For his efforts during the 2024–25 season, The Hockey News - Canucks site gave Åman a C [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/players/vancouver-canucks-2024-25-report-card-nils-aman]. While he was solid in his role as a fourth-line forward, he didn’t particularly stick out — which can be both a good and bad thing. Even so, playing this type of game has provided him with success in the past, as he has played in at least 15 NHL games since joining the Canucks in the 2022–23 season. ÅMAN’S 2025–26 PREDICTIONS As a center who doubles as a winger on occasion, Åman’s situation will be interesting come training camp as Vancouver has yet to determine who will fill the fourth spot down the middle of their lineup left by Pius Suter’s departure. Åman has been a consistent call-up for the Canucks when injuries come knocking, and has even stuck in the lineup over other Abbotsford players at times. However, there are many other players who also look primed to take a spot on the Canucks, particularly in that fourth-line center role. In the event that Åman does make the main roster out of training camp, it’s likely that he’ll continue his usual style of play — simple and solid with a little bit of offence on occasion. If he ends up back in Abbotsford at the start, he’ll be one of the AHL Canucks’ top point-getters.
