I would assume they're currently considering shutting down the Canucks for the remainder of the season. It's either play games with an AHL roster or not play at all. The league likely isn't going to push the playoffs back so a non-playoff team can squeeze in a game/day.

I think the Montreal Wanderers stopped play because of WWI and because their arena burned down mid-season, and the Hamilton Tigers were scuttled because of a strike?
