Canucks

Kevin Woodley from In Goal Magazine would be surprised if Markstrom wasn't able to maintain his play this season, but also says the Canucks have no reason to rush into re-signing him...may as well see how Markstrom plays this year, and what Thatcher Demko is capable of

ESPN's Greg Wyshynski says the West is so deep and strong - the Central division in particular - that the Canucks possible playoff path is by earning one of three Pacific division spots...as opposed to beating out Central teams for a Wild-Card spot. Wysh says Kevin Shattenkirk is an excellent pickup for TBay, hypothesizes that Jake Gardiner has a deal in place with a team, and suggests there should still be offer sheets

Joe Smith from the Athletic TBay says JT Miller should be very motivated in Vancouver, is effective using his body in the offensive zone to gain and maintain possession, and is an underrated passer - particularly from a low position on the power play

Cliff Ronning likes the way the NHL game is going, with a focus on speed and skill, but says some teams still need a bit of an enforcer, and the Canucks are one of them. Cliff likes the Jordie Benn signing, suggesting Benn has no problem playing when the games get harder, and will stick up for teammates

Kevin Woodley from In Goal Magazine says a full season of Quinn Hughes, and the Tyler Myer's addition, is the key to improving the Canucks offense. Kevin also suggests that the tandem of Markstrom and Demko is an advantage for the Canucks in a Pacific Division full of goalie question marks

Bo Horvat, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser and Troy Stecher met with the media. Horvat says he doesn't think he's hit his peak and wants to continue improving his two-way game. Pettersson says the biggest thing he learned this year is how to manage his body with so many games with not a lot of rest. Boeser says he wants to improve his speed this off-season.
