The Vancouver Canucks have recently made headlines with their newest acquisition, defenseman Vincent Desharnais. After leaving the Oilers, where he spent nearly eight years, Desharnais signed a two-year deal with the Canucks. His departure from Edmonton follows a notable playoff series where his performance had a significant impact.
Desharnais, now the newest member of the Canucks, has been vocal in various interviews, including a recent appearance on the Jason Gregor Show. During this interview, he took a pointed swipe at the Calgary Flames, describing Calgary in unflattering terms and suggesting it was a less desirable location. This remark has caught attention, adding a layer of intrigue to his move.
Despite his relatively limited experience in the NHL—with only 114 regular-season games under his belt—Desharnais’s size and potential make him a significant addition to the Canucks’ defense lineup. With Tyler Myers also on the team, Vancouver’s defense is shaping up to be one of the most formidable in the league.
The Canucks’ decision to bring in Desharnais reflects their strategy of bolstering their defense. The team’s management, including Allvin and the coaching staff—Rick Tocchet, Sergei Gonchar, and Adam Foote—are expected to maximize his potential. The move has generated a mix of excitement and speculation about how well he will fit into the team’s system and whether the coaching staff will effectively utilize his skills.
