Vancouver Canucks GM on bad contracts, reclamation projects and free agency
Thomas Drance of The Athletic: Vancouver Canucks GM Ryan Johnson when asked about trading for veteran players who are on bad contracts but have leadership qualities, or who are reclamation projects.
“It’s an option that we have to consider, but we have to take into account budgeting and where we sit with contracts and with the players on our current roster. We can’t just go out and add any number of players without understanding that we first have to subtract.

“What we look to do on July 1 will be determined by what the full picture looks like. At this point, it’s difficult to say what free agency will look like for us, based on what could possibly change between now and then.
If the question is, with what we’re trying to do and where we want to go, are we going to be trying to get there through free agency? Then I’d say the answer is probably not.”
