With cap space and publicly available centremen both at a minimum, Matt and Blake get into the challenges ahead for the Canucks before training camp. The guys get into the names still available in free agency, and the chances of a trade for someone that hasn't even been discussed yet. All this is stacked up against the overwhelming depth at the goaltending position, with 3 obvious choices at the NHL level, and 5 more below. They also listen in on a coaches round table involving Rick Tocchet that raised some eyebrows about how he did or didn't make adjustments last season. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by to look at the free agency period, the winners, and losers, and the Canucks decision to keep the devils they know rather than risk the overpay on the open market. The guys also compare the Boeser deal to the Stars decision on Jason Robertson, the risk/reward of making big moves, and the fallout of the new CBA for players. Then it's CanucksArmy's Dave Hall with his review of the Canucks draft class, and what he's seen so far at the development camp this week. Was Cootes the right choice? Is Medvedev the goalie of the future and is the massive Vilmer Alriksson a viable NHL prospect?
