After a busy July 1, the Vancouver Canucks have been relatively quiet on the news front with only updates from their annual development camp dotting their social media channels. General manager Patrik Allvin still has some things left on his to-do list, however, one being re-signing restricted free agent Arturs Silovs. He should also add some veteran help behind him after losing Casey DeSmith to the Dallas Stars on July 1 and Zach Sawchenko to the Columbus Blue Jackets on July 7.

The Canucks found out the hard way this year that depth at the goaltending position is important. When both Demko and DeSmith went down with injuries in the first round of the playoffs, Silovs was pressed into action and Nikita Tolopilo was his backup.
