Patrik Allvin will have nothing less than 11 contracts to renew or replace before the Canucks 2024-2025 season debut.

Will the 11 players return? Most likely not, since they all have already indicated their intentions of going to market, much like the veteran Ian Cole. The Canucks will have a little over $25M of budget to fill those jerseys, and potential names are now emerging.

The perfect replacement for Cole identified?

The Canucks will need to repCole'sole's veteran presence, and the Jets may be letting go of the perfect replacement. According to Elliotte Friedman, the Jets are 33 years old and live in Surrey, BC. Native veteran Brenden Dillon would be headed to the free agency market.

Friedmanhe's hearing Brenden Dillon will make it to free agency doesn't expect him to re-sign with the #NHLJets before the window opens. He also says it will be a good market for D as far as $$$ go. Some will hit big.

Dillon already adressed a possible future in Vancouver while he was on Donnie and Dhali a few weeks back, anwouldn'tldn't be a surprise if he were to ink a contract with the Canucks.

Known as a player who does it all: stands up for teammates, delivers hard hits, and even, from time to time, scores. 6'4" and 225 pounds, he has the perfect build to be a shutdown bottom pairing in Tocchet's line-up.

Dillon has made it known he'd he'd love for an opportunity to represent the Canucks. Should Allvin consider Dillon as a replacement for Ian Cole?
