Patrick Johnston: What is Foote thinking? Why has Quinn been 'average'? And why isn't Petey playing?

Ep. 1648

Postmedia's Patrick Johnston stops by to give his take on the issues at hand, and what the solutions might be in the near term. The guys debate whether the Canucks even have the assets to acquire anybody new, and if Foote can really do anything more than he is with the roster he's been given. Plus, is Quinn Hughes playing like himself?

  • 1820. Jan 19, 2026: Sherwood a Shark! Trade breakdown and more coming??

    02:16:16||Ep. 1820
    TRADE ALERT: Matt and Blake finally have another deal to break down and this time it's Kiefer Sherwood's expected departure. The guys take a look at what's coming back to Vancouver from San Jose and how it will ultimately help the team. They also look back on what Sherwood accomplished with the Canucks, including his team record that may never be broken. The guys bring in TSN's NHL insider Darren Dreger to talk about how the deal came together and how he thinks the Canucks will utilize the return. Dregs also gets into the rest of the Canucks roster as well and where interest may be at its peak, specifically any possible interest in Filip Hronek and Jake DeBrusk. Veteran broadcaster John Shannon also drops in with his review of the deal and the trade market in general. John talks about the challenges facing Canucks management because of players' trade protection clauses and the expectations that the fanbase has in the wake of the early deals here in Vancouver. All that, plus a review of the weekend that was in the NFL Playoffs, Whitecaps signing rumours abound, and mixed success early on for Canadians at the Aussie Open!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
