July 1st is finally here and the Canucks have bolstered their roster. Jake DeBrusk, Danton Heinen, Kiefer Sherwood, Derek Forbort and Nathan Smith are all coming to Vancouver; Elias Lindholm, Nikita Zadorov, Ian Cole, Sam Lafferty and Casey DeSmith will all have new homes. How did the Canucks fare? Are they better or worse than when they last played? We discuss it all with @rinkwidevancouver & @Canucks_Army’s Jeff Paterson.

Worse
The hardest working sports journalists in the city! Working on a stat holiday. Respect.
DeBrusk is also a hometown kid. He grew up in North Van
Bro this is an F the hell y'all vote B. What pie in the sky shit is this.
What about Conor Garland moving up into a line one or two spot? The guy is capable.
Don't underestimate Vinny been watching him all the way back to Chilliwack Chiefs late bloomer he will do well in Van
Desharnais best signing today by far
Hienen sucks look at his stats
Poppa Louie and Tochet are really tight go watch the after hours show.
They were chopping it up.
Tocchet will turn Jake into an elite power forward.
No more losing culture = Lord Stanley's cup or bust
Love these signings; especially DeBrusk (his numbers were down last season because he had an injured hand most of the season). If people thought this team wasn't fun to play against last season, they just got a bit more physically punishing. Quinn Hughes should be the happiest guy about the Sherwood signing, after the way he went after him while playing for Nashville. Zadorov was a perfect fit in Vancouver last season and should work out well in Boston, but that's a contract I can see a lot of regret for on a 4-5 spot defenceman. I like the deals for Heinen and Forbort to beef up the penalty kill with depth signings, instead of just a bunch of guys. They even got some extra depth feistiness out of signing Desharnais from Edmonton.
Sherwood has a very good faceoff percentage as well š
mediocrity
AFP had De Brusk at $5.8 x 5yrs
Matt , I think that you too often interrupt when Blake is speaking .
How much cap space do we have to work with still?
I like our big heavy defence. Quinn and Hronek got physically dominated by the oilers forwards. I think Quinn learned he has to do something different. Using his and Hronek skating ability just wasnāt enough. This is probably why Izerman traded him
Blake DeBrusk, Jake & Blake. Rhymes with shake and bake. Nice.
Matt, how about the NHL bring in a Decreasing Term Limit Rule? As a player ages after 30 the length of their long term contract starts to decrease by a year. 31yr old/7 yrs. 32yr old/6yrs. 33yr old/5yrs. 34yr old/4yrs(Tanev) This would solve your concerns about cap circumvention. The players that are healthy and still able to play after those contracts expire would still be able to sign short term contracts if their team still wanted them to stay.
Raty on the wing with Petey may be worth a try along with Debrusk. The kid got the smarts and wicked wrist shot to play with these guys. Lekkerimaki will be ready in a year's time unless he lights up rhe AHL.
Not sure how the usual whiner Canucks fans who are never content can say the Canucks aren't as good on defense when you have both Hughes and Hronek who have both not hit their prime and room to get even better lol
The forward depth has better speed, can now forcheck and score more by committee and the penalty kill will be better and Podkolzin, Hoglander, Lekkerimaki, the real Petey could all add a lot more goals next season as well.
Whiny fans need to STFU
Iām going give this free agency a B for the Canucks. I like how the we got deeper and better in the forward group. Donāt love the debrusk deal he is a top 6 forward but not the one we needed. Donāt love how we resign Myers over zadorov. Myers in the top 4 is not it. Canucks need another top 4 defencemen Myers is better suited as your 5-6
they didnt have demko or Boeser at the end of the season
