Jason Bukala from Sportsnet, of course, will join us at one, as he always does. A little bit of Canucks news. The team announced just moments ago that
GM Ryan Johnson announced that the club has agreed to terms with Chase Waters on a one-year, two-way contract. Of course, Waters, the captain for the Abbotsford Canucks, and I believe has always been on an AHL-only deal.
He 100% has only been on an AHL-only deal.
This is his first NHL deal. Now, that doesn't mean he's going to play for the Canucks, but it means he's an option to come up. And it's a big deal as well for a guy who's been on an AHL contract to get that NHL deal.

Chapter 4: What role does Chase Wouters play in the Canucks' rebuild?
And signed as an undrafted player, right? I mean, this is the second guy that they've sort of brought in through that Quad A pipeline that they've developed, who's signed an NHL contract. Tristan Nielsen, of course, being the first one who signed first with Vancouver and then with the Colorado Avalanche. And look, you have to convert a guy.
You have to be on an NHL SPC standard player contract in order to play in the NHL. So now he'll be a call-up option. I mean, I'm not saying that you can pencil him in, but... But he's going to be an option to play NHL games for this franchise and potentially make his NHL debut. Obviously, he's been a tremendous captain for Abbotsford, was the captain when they won the Calder Cup.
Pretty incredible. This is a really cool story.
Yeah. So congratulations to Chase Waters and another bit of business done. by Canucks GM Ryan Johnson. And we've talked to Ryan Johnson about Chase in the past, right?

You guys are sounding great. You're sounding like you're out of the penalty box and interviewing Canucks personnel. That's what you sound like to me. Oh. No? Very good. Sorry, I didn't think that would be a haymaker. I thought that was going to be light and funny and breezy, no? I'm not getting it.
Manny Malhotra, we're allowed a Canucks guest. Oh, okay, yes. All right, yeah.
We might still be in the penalty box, so that's why Drances said it.
Okay. Well, you should be.

We've waited for, you know, 14 years to get a Canuck guest on through the Canucks. Today was the day, and we had technical difficulties. No. We couldn't get Manny Malhotra on. Oh, I'm sorry.
