Vancouver's strong start has many around the hockey world talking and while it's still very early, if the team is able to sustain this level of play throughout the next few months, they'll certainly set themselves up well to compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference, potentially as a top-three team in the division.
In his most recent '32 Thoughts' article, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed that the Vancouver Canucks are the most active team behind the scenes and that the team wants to make a deal and add pieces, but don't want to add in sweeteners to make it work. Unfortunately for the Canucks, their cap situation makes it tough to add anything of significance, but Friedman says that the team could look to make a 'hockey move' to try and create cap space.
For fans of the Vancouver Canucks, this is great news that the team is looking to make additions and push for a playoff spot this season, as well as remaining competitive for years to come. They have all of the pieces in place to make a push towards a playoff spot, but adding another impact piece or two will put them over the top and will help the team significantly.
The Canucks will look to continue their winning ways tonight as they take a quick trip to Northern California to take on the San Jose Sharks, before returning home on Saturday night to face the Dallas Stars.
