Canucks GM discusses potential roster changes to add prospects

Vancouver Canucks general manager Ryan Johnson is exploring potential roster changes to enhance the team's future. Johnson has brought in several veterans, including Brendan Gallagher, Luke Schenn, and Paul Cotter, but believes additional talent is necessary. With nearly $18 million in available cap space, he may sign a free agent or consider trades. Johnson indicated that while the team isn’t under pressing deadlines, he remains open to opportunities. Discussions regarding the potential offloading of players like Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrusk, and Brock Boeser reflect the Canucks' focus on acquiring more prospects and managing their salary cap. The team's ultimate goal appears to be securing a high draft pick in the upcoming season rather than pushing for playoff contention.
