He plays the game hard but your body pays for it. He’s a Tocchet kinda guy.

Sure he’s a grizzled 28. Though he might have a couple seasons left to be a wrecking ball.

UFA Update: #Oilers are perusing the market for right-shot D, including Justin Schultz, Tyson Barrie and Kevin Shattenkirk, among others.

Also, Max Pacioretty has firm offers in-hand from at least three teams, the veteran forward expected to make a decision soon.

Right now they have Stetcher in their top 4... so one would assume they'd need to add more scraps onto that dumpster fire.

I don’t know anyone like that.

Looks like the trade market is heating up a bit.

When you trade one Vasily Podkolzin the market is already white hot baby

I feel like we could have, and should have beaten that offer for Askarov

Upgrade D & C? Would be tough to do.

You know picks are on the table, it's not enough though.

Drance and Dhali: Multiple league sources have since indicated to The Athletic that Demko won’t be ready for training camp and preseason games.

Drance and Dhali: as it stands, the club plans to enter the season outside of LTI. For #Canucks management, Plan A remains to accrue salary-cap space throughout this upcoming campaign, for the purpose of maximizing cap flexibility at the 2025 trade deadline.

Guy can't stay healthy, not sure I'd rush to re-sign him.

When he’s on, he’s very good, but a trip to Anaheim for John Gibson would be nice.

He's got two years to prove he's not made of glass.

Rumblings Demko had ACL surgery.

I think they popped that too quick seeing how Demko may be having surgery now. Could have used Podz in a trade package for a goalie.

I don’t know the timeline for Demko recovery but going with Silovs and Patera for the season is a risk.

You know what else they could use in a trade package? A 4th rounder.

The fans that value Podz are insufferable. To add to this, like management was caught off guard by the Demko injury. Stupid (frank)ing idiot
