A special NHL Free Agency episode on Canada Day features a full analysis of the moves the Canucks made -- and some they didn't make. Matt, Blake and Jeff Paterson from the Rink Wide: Vancouver podcast evaluate the signings of defencemen Carson Soucy, Ian Cole, Matt Irwin, centre Teddy Blueger and goaltender Zach Sawchenko. They kick around the signings elsewhere across the league including players such as Ryan O'Reilly, Luke Schenn that interested the Canucks, as well as players (such as Morgan Geekie) on the fingertips of Canucks' fans on social media. The guys have a big picture discussion on what brought the team to this Canada Day with limited cap space to fill several holes; debating not just what these additions mean for the Canucks' push to make the playoffs next season, but in the longer-term given that only one player signed a multi-year contract. Presented by Applewood Auto Group.
