Dan Riccio and Sat Shah break down the busy offseason for the Vancouver Canucks and what fans can expect from the fresh faces on the roster. Among the new additions, Jake DeBrusk stands out, signing a deal similar to Zach Hyman’s in Edmonton. The Canucks are banking on DeBrusk to shine alongside elite centers and step up as a finisher on the power play. His success in a key role could provide the surplus value Vancouver desperately needs. The Canucks also made moves on defense, bringing in Derek Forbort and Vincent Desharnais to bolster the blue line. Despite being close to a deal with Nikita Zadorov, and making efforts to retain Elias Lindholm, the Canucks couldn’t finalize agreements with either player. Dan and Sat also highlight under-the-radar signings like Keifer Sherwood, whose physical style and shooting ability could solidify him as a key bottom-six contributor. Meanwhile, the Canucks' ability to snag Daniel Sprong on a budget contract is a surprise, given his consistent production with back-to-back 40-point seasons.
