Vancouver a goalie graveyard? More like a goalie factory! Canucks sign their 8th organizational goalie as Aleksei Medvedev signs his ELC with the team. Matt and Blake dive into what that looks like going forward and whether there's enough hockey to go around. The guys also look at EP40's recent comments about a bounce back seasonn and they debate who is most likely to rebound after a tough season, particularly among Demko, Pettersson, Höglander, and Joshua. Plus, new NHL CBA details from dress code to AHL rules. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by to give his thoughts on a few new names added to the NHL rumour mill, and whether a guy like Mason McTavish would actually get moved by Aneheim. Then Jeff jumps into the changing face of developmental hockey from the NCAA rules, 19 year old players now allowed in the AHL, and the Canucks desire to quickly sign their top draft picks in order to control their fate. Marek then weighs in on any possibility of a move out of Pittsburgh for Malkin or Crosby, whether it's now or later. All that, plus the Lions and Whitecaps battle the injury bug this weekend as they try to get their momentum back this season.

The Canucks have their top prospect, Braeden Cootes, sign on the dotted line for his 1st NHL contract! Matt and Blake talk about what it means for the team, especially in light of the new NCAA rules for CHL players. Cootes isn't going to be there on opening night for the Canucks, but who will be? The guys look at the myriad of possibilities as it stands so far, and in particular, look at the likely top 6 wingers that will be used out of the gate. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston joins the discussion on lines and chemistry and gives his confidence level in an Evander Kane renaissance season, amongst several other wingers who are also looking to bounce back. PJ also takes on the topic of dressing room leadership, and if the team can operate differently this season despite so many familiar faces. Then it's The Daily Hive's Rob Williams with his thoughts on how waiver eligibility may affect Canucks roster decisions, who might graduate from Abbotsford to the NHL, and he lets us know how he has mocked up the Canucks lines for the opener. Then the guys finish up with a look back at a narrow Whitecaps win in the Canadian Championship quarterfinal, and the Jays do the unthinkable and finally lose?!
