Episode notes
Hughes' Status Creates Immediate Uncertainty
- Quinn Hughes is day-to-day after leaving the Winnipeg game and missing practice, creating uncertainty for the road trip.
- The injury's limited public detail leaves the team and fans unsure about his availability for upcoming games.
Kampf Fits Immediate Defensive Center Need
- David Kampf would fill a defensive, faceoff-heavy center role that the Canucks currently lack and could stabilize PK and D-zone starts.
- Harman and David see Kampf as a short-term fix best suited to a one-year deal to rebuild value.
Sign Kampf As A One-Year Opportunity
- Offer Kampf a one-year deal so he can rebuild value and re-enter free agency if he performs well.
- Avoid multi-year guarantees given his age and uncertain recent usage under new coaching.
