RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops in to provide his reaction to the deal, and where that leaves the Canucks forwards, and the penalty kill, as it currently stands. Jeff also gives us his reaction to the trade of Arturs Silovs and the modest return, and the importance of Canucks goaltending this season, given the apparent lack of scoring.

The guys also tackle a particular new wrinkle in the CBA that may benefit the Canucks in their attempts to keep Quinn Hughes past his current contract.

The Daily Hive's Rob WIlliams stops in to discuss the Canucks new ticket packages, big and small, and how two 8-game homestands may affect season ticket holders and the team on the ice. Rob also weighs in on the likely priorities for Adam Foote on defence, and whether making more trades to open cap space makes sense if it comes at the expense of guys like Blueger and Joshua
