The Canucks’ Centre Battle Looks Different After Camp

In this video, Trevor Beggs joins me after watching Vancouver Canucks training camp in Penticton. Manny Malhotra’s practices looked faster and more demanding, but Trevor’s biggest rethink might be at centre: he thought Filip Chytil was the best one on the ice, while Aatu Räty still looked a step behind.

We also get into Elias Pettersson, why Braeden Cootes could make the opening-night decision difficult, and what needs to show up in preseason games before we can say the Canucks have really changed.
