What's the pre-seaon really worth?

Jeff Paterson and Jason Botchford are at Rogers Arena, on the Thursday before the Canucks' 2016-17 curtain raiser.

This season can't really be a 65 point season, can it? There must be something to like about this team. Botch has a few ideas.

Auston Matthews' spectacular start makes us wonder if any Canuck will out-score him on the year.

And what about glorious Rogers Place? Botch has seen it...it snowed.

This is the Pat-cast, on Province Sports Radio.
