Ep. 1985
•
Will they stay or will they go?! It applies to so much in the Canucks organization these days! Matt and Blake tackle the issues as reports continue to come in on whether coach and managerial changes are in the offing at the end of the season. The guys look at the readiness of people like Ryan Johnson and Manny Malhotra, whether Patrik Allvin could be reassigned to a new position, and whether trading picks for players is what people wnat this offseason. They also make sure you're up to date on the lineup as the Canucks hit the road in California. TSN's Darren Dreger pays a visit to the show to discuss all the smoke around the Canucks these days. He has his view on the job stability for those currently with the NHL gigs, and whether the AHL guys are being poached, especially with NHL vacancies increasing around the league. Dregs also talks about the team's timeline to make any staff change and the willingness to part with top draft picks for the right NHL player. Then it's Rob Williams from The Daily Hive on the effect of this season on the Canucks' fanbase and season ticketholders. Rob checks the pulse of the rebuild and whether people are ok with its direction thus far. Rob also updates his thoughts on the possibility of an Elias Pettersson trade, and the look ahead to the lottery on May 5th. Matt and Blake finish up with a look at the Jays, Mariners and C's fates last night. They check in on the Whitecaps tinkering with positional changes at training, the Lions bring back a familiar name as a coach, and the Seahawks explain the method to the madness around Kenneth Walker!
