The Canucks are officially down a centre after Pius Suter signs with the Blues, so Matt and Blake go over the trickle down effect for the team. They debate the chances of summer trade to address the issue vs the likelihood of an AHL promotion for someone like Räty, and the decision to spend on that money on Evander Kane instead of Suter. They also go around the NHL for the latest signings with still a relative dirth in over inflated contracts. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston stops by to give his insight on the Canucks decision making around the centre ice position. PJ talks about team's confidence in the group they have and where they might be able to still make chances before the summer is through. Is Marco Rossi still a possibility? Plus, will the penalty kill potentially need a lot of help? Then it's The Daily Hive's Rob Williams with his optimism around Kane acquisition stacked up against the reality of losing Suter. Rob also weighs in on the possibility the Canucks may have to trade defenceman Elias Pettersson in order to get the centre help they need, and will Dakota Joshua last the summer? All that, plus the latest from the C's, Jays and M's.. The Whitecaps prep for tomorrow while the Canadian women are crushed by the USA, and Canada's Wimbledon entries suffer a quick fate as well!
