The Whiteboard: What Budget?

Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance react to new comments from Ryan Johnson, including his stance on Filip Hronek, roster budgeting, and the logic behind keeping options open during a rebuild. The guys discuss why the Canucks may need to subtract before they add, Ottawa’s reported interest in Jake DeBrusk, and what a potential move could mean for Vancouver’s roster. Plus, trade rumours swirl around Darnell Nurse, and Drance explains why the Canucks should be among the teams exploring a deal.
