The Vancouver Canucks confirmed on Thursday that Ethan Bear had successful shoulder surgery and is expected to be out for the next six months. JPat and Wadden debate whether or not the Canucks should even re-sign the 25-year old RFA defenceman, wondering if the money spent on Bear could be used on a better option.

The boys also go over Ben Kuzma's list from his latest article in the Province, where Kuz took a look at potential centres Vancouver could be interested in acquiring in a trade or through free agency. 

The show wraps with your Ask JPat questions and a glance at some NHL prop bets that involve the Canucks.
