2126. June 16, 2026: NHL trades begin, Canucks next? Does NHL size matter?
02:01:54||Ep. 2126The Cup has been awarded and NHL teams are getting down to business! Matt and Blake wonder aloud when the Canucks might make the first big player move of the Sedins front office era, whether it's a trade of a veteran before the draft or the re-signing of any players from last season.

He gets into the possibility of Carlolina's continuing interest in EP40, and whether the Canes have unlocked the secret to surviving the NHL playoffs with undersized contributors. Then it's a deep dive into some big swings for the Canucks with the 24th overall pick, including a Russian giant, a "diet Stenberg", and an American Blazer in Kamloops. Then Matt and Blake wrap up the show with a look at the day that was and the day to come at the World Cup.. Exciting draws galore yesterday, while the superpowers start today!
