Thomas Drance

That's Eastern time, of course, 12.30 local.

He's mostly been locked down.

There wasn't a lot of...

the sort of casual chats facilitated with Vancouver media, as you can totally understand, right?

I mean, that's by no means, I want to be so clear, not a hint of criticism from me on that front, but that's just been the reality of this week.

So this is my first chance to chat with him.

So can't miss that.

And obviously curious to hear from a variety of other players that I didn't chat with.

Tomorrow's the testing bright and early 4am Pacific time, 7am local.

And that's when everyone will do all the, you know, some tests have already been done.

There's some presses and O2 max, but the bulk of it happens tomorrow after which everyone's available.

So that's where I'm going to run around like crazy, trying to chat with absolutely everybody I've heard linked to the Canucks even a little bit and asking them like, what's the weirdest question the Canucks asked you?

So that'll be, that'll be good fun for me too.

Well, Mathis Preston is very high on my list.

And an interesting name I think the Canucks fans should be paying attention to based on some of the, you know, unconfirmed scuttlebutt I've been hearing at the Combine.

So, yeah, but, you know, obviously the Rocks, some other folks too.

So, yeah, I mean, I'll be running around.

I'll try and interview like 30 people.

before I leave Buffalo in the afternoon.

So it should be an interesting day tomorrow and obviously stay tuned to The Athletic for all of our coverage of this interesting week in Buffalo.
