With training camps now less than a month away, teams will be calling around to the remaining unrestricted free agents to see if their asking price has dropped.  It appears that the Canucks are doing that with Evan Rodrigues as Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK and The Athletic reported in an appearance on Sekeres and Price that Vancouver is “poking around” on the forward.

The 29-year-old is coming off a career season with Pittsburgh that saw him put up 19 goals and 24 assists while playing in all 82 games for the first time.  His ice time jumped up to nearly 16 minutes per game and he played down the middle and on the wing.  That type of versatility is always appealing to teams.
