Free agency opens in the NHL and the Canucks decide to stay with the guys they have. Matt and Blake react to the re-signing of Boeser, Demko and Garland amidst a sea of mediocrity in the NHL market. The guys debate the gamble on health, and whether the Canucks have the flexibility to add somebody at a later date. Plus, they get into the possibility of these moves helping in the effort to retain Quinn Hughes past the next 2 seasons. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson joins after the Patrik Allvin media conference to discuss the GM's remarks and the day as a whole. JPat discusses the playoff likelihood of this team, the offensive capabilities, and the decisions in goal. Then it's Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects on the Boeser contract, the draft team discount, and Boeser's importance on the ice and in the room. Cam also weighs in on the full Canucks draft class, and who might provide the highest end return if it all works out. The guys finish up with a baseball wrap up from the M's, Jays and C's.
