@rinkwidevancouver host Jeff Paterson (@Canucks_Army) stops by to take a bite out of the Canucks recent storylines, including the value in possible long term investments in Hronek and Zadorov on the blueline. Plus, Jeff offers a restrained take on what to do with Ilya Mikheyev, and an aggressive one on the Canucks pursuit of Jake Guentzel.

1 year deal for Hronek gotta see if he can play and produce for a full season then you can pay him what he’s worth long term
why does Jeff Paterson look "defeat"? like he's burnt out or something
You don't just need a scorer you need a playoff scorer. Big body Debrusk types. Not Kotcaniemi type players.
I wouldn't risk giving him the 1 year deal and have him go to UFA and lose him for nothing. We either trade him at the draft or sign him long term. If he wants to be paid like he played in the 1st half, entirely with Hughes, that's not going to happen. 8×8 is probably not doable. I know right shot top 4s are harder to come buy, but he was invisible in the 2nd half and into the playoffs. He did nothing against Nashville and Edmonton. His defensive game also tailed off a bit too. They can't afford to have an albatross on their books with OEL's cap recapture penalty coming up. Move him, and if they can't find a true replacement, Pesce and Tanev are 2 options who can play top 4 minutes short term until guys like Pettersson 2.0 and Wilander are ready for prime time. Short term deals for both should work. The sample size doesn't make me confident that Hronek is the guy going forward at 8 million long term.
Myers gets 6 and Zadorov does three times as much and can't get 5.5? 😅
Re: lack of upcoming players from recent drafts — not just Podkolzin. Just think if they they had made a better choice than Klimovich with that second rounder a few years ago. It sure would be helpful if Stankoven was in a Canucks' jersey right now, no?
Why is it taboo to question Hronek‘s durability?
5 All day long for big Zed.
Rick Tocchet needs to be better! The Florida Panther who are on the cusp of winning the cup gave a system that all cup teams possess – they pressure the puck in all areas of the ice in every situation! They don’t get stuck in positional/structured play that is often second to the puck and gives teams too much time to make plays! Rick, I hope you’re watching how they play!
Zadorov is a flash in the pan. Hronek is the target.
