“We know the direction of the Vancouver Canucks is rebuild, and they started that whole thing this season. Took them a while to admit it, but they got there.

I think they’re going to look at making other type of, of roster moves as they dive head first into into this rebuild this summer. Regardless of where they pick in the draft as well.

But I do think they have options, or at least an understanding as to which teams would like to explore this a little bit more this summer.
