Matt and Jeff discuss the future of Tanner Pearson now that he's back skating -- and golfing! -- which seems like great news for that an injured hand. Can he help the Canucks? Is he a Tocchet-type player? Where does he fit in the lineup? Does he need to start in the American Hockey League? Plus, it was this Friday last year when the Canucks signed JT Miller to a seven-year extension. Who should be his wingers and how will he live up to the pressure of performing as an $8 million man?
John Shannon stops by to tell us 1/3 the league have their personnel set, so a Tyler Myers trade might be tricky. John talks about how the trend now is to have a "leadership group" and not necessarily a captain. He also speaks to the Rick Tocchet affect on the club, and the lack of a practice facility.
Plus, Matt faces off against Jeff in another episode of S vs P. Today's topic: Have the Canucks closed the gap on Western Conference playoff teams?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
