. @DhaliwalSports on #TSN1040: "Canucks have remained interest in Oscar Fantenberg, that's a depth signing but they need help on the blueline."

More @DhaliwalSports: "Canucks called Stecher today, he could've been back in Vancouver but they were in on Tyson Barrie, Stecher's camp couldn't keep waiting, it was a timing issue not a money issue."

More @DhaliwalSports on Stecher: "There were 5-10 teams in on Troy (including the Calgary Flames), the Leafs called as well, he's a great kid with great character, there was interest from the Canucks, but again it had nothing to do with matching money, it was a timing issue."

More @DhaliwalSports: "Don't think the Canucks have checked back in on Toffoli, believe their efforts are all focused on finding Tanev's replacement and patching up the defense."

More @DhaliwalSports: "Canucks did check in on Tanev really late yesterday and made an offer - the offer was 2 years, $4M - the fourth year in Calgary was what he wanted, the Leafs made an offer for under $4M."

More @DhaliwalSports on potential forward targets: "Hard to say, Canucks are looking at defensemen right now, there isn't urgency to address the forward group... Travis Green probably lost sleep last night losing Tanev & Stecher, don't think they're worried about forwards."

More @DhaliwalSports: "If the Canucks offered Tanev 2 x $4M, that shows you what they're thinking in free agency, how much they're willing to spend at this point in free agency."
