Sekeres & Price Show

Halfway thru the preseason and the rubber finally hits the road as the Canucks dress a veteran lineup at home to the Oilers. Matt and Blake take a look at what each player has to prove tonight, and discuss the battles that remain for roster spots. The guys also look at the line combos and what chemistry might stick to start the season. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia checks in from practice with his take on how the preseason ends, including the right path forward for Braeden Cootes. The guys also debate the level of scrutiny that will be directed towards Elias Pettersson this season and whether a good start would make it more or less likely to see a trade. Rob Williams of The Daily Hive drops by as well, with his takes on the Canucks new marketing slogan, Arshdeep Bains' attempts to make the team, and how the preseason schedule has changed the process of choosing the team. Matt and Blake finish up with the latest on Thomas Müller's future with the Whitecaps and the 'Caps future overall.. Plus, the Lions get set for the showdown vs the Riders, the Jays are officially eliminated, and the M's say goodbye to a legend in the booth!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

The Canucks' preseason is halfway done, cuts have been made and the vets are on the eve of their return, so Matt and Blake have a lot to break down as the roster starts to come together. The guys look back on the game last night, and the practice today, and begin to debate the readiness and likelihood of Braeden Cootes making the opening night roster. They also look at the battle for spots on defence, and whether Bains can still be an NHLer. Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects drops by to talk about the steps taken by many of the young Canucks. He talks about Cootes, Kudryavtsev, Mancini and Medvedev in particular. He also waxes about the his early edition of the 2027 draft consensus and whether any of the top players from the 2026 draft look poised to make big impacts this season in the NHL. Then it's PuckPedia's Hart Levine on the early waiver wire fascination for Canucks fans, and gets us up to speed on the rules and mechanics of waivers early in the season. He also talks salary direction in the NHL, goalies unable to cash in so far, and whether the Buium deal will age well for Vancouver. The guys finish up with an update on the BC Lions roster as they make additions from NFL camps, the Whitecaps have positive and negative news on the injury front, and the Canadians are already making their mark at The Presidents Cup!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
