Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here.
Speaker 1: Two nothing.
Speaker 2: It's Alva not so fast Cohole Breath with John Taylor.
Speaker 1: I say that the winner of the draft lottery should
Speaker 1: be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 2: And Rick Dolly Wall.
Speaker 1: I had a cherry tree up a little Ricky.
Speaker 3: I used to go up that tree and just sit
Speaker 3: there for hours and munch on those cherries years.
Speaker 2: Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 1: Ten o'clock at Downtown Deck Quiver, one of the Paul
Speaker 1: Carson Studio. Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and
Speaker 1: Dolly the team on Check. Don Taylor with Rick Dollywall.
Speaker 1: Ryan Henderson is our producer. He's the man at the controls,
Speaker 1: our director. The voice of God is Derek Wan. How
Speaker 1: are you, big boy? Oh? A Draft Day? Love Draft Day?
Speaker 1: So much going on the twenty twenty six NHL Entry
Speaker 1: Draft in Buffalo. It starts at four o'clock Pacific. It's
Speaker 1: a decentralized draft again, which means teams will work remotely
Speaker 1: from their home cities, which means those awkward zoom interviews.
Speaker 1: I hope they do something to more improve that. They
Speaker 1: were very stiff last years. First time they did the
Speaker 1: decentralized draft last year, as opposed to the teams being
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, in the host city, working around a table,
Speaker 1: and that's I always find that much more hunt. It's
Speaker 1: just much more interesting. It was better. Well, the shots
Speaker 1: of the GMS or scouts talking to each other, is
Speaker 1: there a trade? Is there not going to be a trade?
Speaker 1: Just way more interesting. But it is decentralized again today,
Speaker 1: So hopefully they've made improvements over last year, which I
Speaker 1: thought was awkward at times. The Leafs have first pick,
Speaker 1: in case you haven't heard, likely to go with Gavin McKenna.
Speaker 1: Leafs have picked first overall twice, Austin Matthews back in
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen and Wendell Clark in nineteen eighty five, and
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken that Austin Matthews pick in twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: also in Buffalo. The first time Buffalo hosted the draft,
Speaker 1: famous draft, infamous draft, depending on how you look at it.
Speaker 1: That was nineteen ninety one, the Eric Lindros Draft when
Speaker 1: he got taken by Quebec first overall, didn't put on
Speaker 1: the jersey, and the rest is history. Ended up in Philly.
Speaker 1: Cannucks took Alex stillinoff that year, remember that seventh, seventh overall.
Speaker 1: This time around, Cannucks picking third and twenty fourth in
Speaker 1: the first round. Ten picks overall, but in the first round,
Speaker 1: which we'll see today, third and twenty fourth. So what
Speaker 1: can they get at third overall? We'll focus on the
Speaker 1: players they could get in a moment. But through history.
Speaker 1: I'm an old guy. I like going through history to
Speaker 1: Eric if you don't mind our notable third round draft picks,
Speaker 1: third overall draft picks through history and recently Beckett Seneca,
Speaker 1: Anton Frondell, going back a bit, Jonathan Taves remember just
Speaker 1: hung him up a few days ago, Hendrik Sedeen third
Speaker 1: overall nineteen ninety nine, Brian Brooke working his draft magic
Speaker 1: to get the Sadeine Twins. Pat laugh on team one
Speaker 1: of I think one of the real underrated players in
Speaker 1: National Hockey League history. His career was cut short by
Speaker 1: injury concussion issues. You remember this.
Speaker 3: Guy, Philadelphia, back to backs down the cups seventies.
Speaker 1: The Riverton Rifle, Tim Stutzel, Leon Dreysele at number three,
Speaker 1: Marion Gabrick, Scott Niedemyer, and Danny Savard. When you think
Speaker 1: of like who would be on top of this list?
Speaker 1: For me? I just love Scott Needemyer's a player obviously,
Speaker 1: what he did as a player, what he did with
Speaker 1: the Devil's, what he did with the Ducks, you know,
Speaker 1: just everything, World Championships, Olympic gold medalist. But let's focus
Speaker 1: on that. What he did for Team Canada and him
Speaker 1: not being there in twenty was it twenty fourteen? He
Speaker 1: he just made such a different not par me not
Speaker 1: being there in six right, and that made such a
Speaker 1: difference in a bad way for Team Canada. What a great,
Speaker 1: great player. And Danny Sivardi I always have a soft
Speaker 1: spot for because well, first of all, what a fabulous player.
Speaker 1: Stadium first interview I ever did when I when I
Speaker 1: started working at Sports Page was Danny Sivardi. Wow. He
Speaker 1: couldn't have been He couldn't have been nicer. Okay, we
Speaker 1: mentioned Hendrik Sedeen being drafted third overall by the Cannucks.
Speaker 1: Other third overall picks in Canucks history, Derek, have you
Speaker 1: got that board? You came up with which is just
Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful the old hockey cards. Check it out, Rick
Speaker 1: so Hendrick Sadeen back in ninety nine. Do you remember
Speaker 1: Jocelyn gave him Mitt? Of course I do.
Speaker 3: Joscelyn Givermont came from Quebec. And then the other one
Speaker 3: is Dennis Verbergart remember him fondly.
Speaker 1: Great seventies mustache.
Speaker 3: The fact that you and I remember the seventy one
Speaker 3: and seventy three dropt picks is concerning.
Speaker 1: Jocelyn Gavemont big, big shot all the point, and then
Speaker 1: eventually he got traded for Mike Robati, Yes Mike, not
Speaker 1: Luke Rowti got traded to Buffalo for Mike Roboti and
Speaker 1: Jerry Mean, and those two players helped the Canucks in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five get to their first ever playoff series
Speaker 1: against against Montreal, which they lost absolutely late seventies. I
Speaker 1: remember both guys and Dennis Ververgart was early seventies middle
Speaker 1: but they stayed and played. But I remember Dennis Ververgart fondly, yep.
Speaker 1: And I said, gave Rimont the big, big shot from
Speaker 1: the point. So everybody was really surprised when they when
Speaker 1: they traded him back in the day. So third overall
Speaker 1: for the Canucks twenty fourth overall, so let's focus on that. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Ryan Johnson of the Kttacks made himself available to the
Speaker 1: media and we talked a lot about that yesterday. But
Speaker 1: here is Ryan Johnson. You know, there's all sorts of speculation, Okay,
Speaker 1: what are they going to do with that third overall pick?
Speaker 1: Is there a possibility of them And it's just we
Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday too, you know, trading the third
Speaker 1: overall pick and trading down maybe to grab a current player,
Speaker 1: prospect and more picks. But here's Ryan Johnson yesterday on
Speaker 1: the possibility of dealing that third overall pick or maybe
Speaker 1: the twenty fourth.
Speaker 4: Obviously, there's been a lot of movement in a lot
Speaker 4: of teams looking to move up or some teams that
Speaker 4: maybe don't have second and third round picks that are
Speaker 4: looking to move back. So it's conversations that I've had.
Speaker 4: I think it would take a lot from me to
Speaker 4: move out of three. We love being there, we love
Speaker 4: the player that we're going to get there. As far
Speaker 4: as some of the later opportunities, I think through the group,
Speaker 4: if there's an opportunity to move back that benefits us
Speaker 4: or to move the other way that we think will
Speaker 4: benefit us. It's always something that we're going to consider.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about this yesterday as well. A trade
Speaker 1: like that, a team moving out from a top moving
Speaker 1: away from a top ten a pick hasn't happened since
Speaker 1: way back in two thousand and eight, but people who
Speaker 1: talk about it, the speculation is out direct.
Speaker 3: There's always talking. Look, they're gonna get a really good
Speaker 3: player Don at three, and we got to wait to
Speaker 3: see what the Sharks and the Leafs do. It's gonna
Speaker 3: come down if McKenna and Stamberg go one to Don,
Speaker 3: it's gonna come down to Caleb Maholter and Chase Reed.
Speaker 3: And then which one do you want out of those
Speaker 3: two for the Canucks. And I don't believe these reports
Speaker 3: of the Canucks are not thinking of taking Maholtra this week,
Speaker 3: he said, Ryan said yesterday, definitely we're thinking of taking Caleb.
Speaker 3: But if at the end of the day, if they
Speaker 3: decide the son father son thing is too much, then
Speaker 3: they'll back off.
Speaker 1: They if they want to see them. They love the kid.
Speaker 1: They love the kid.
Speaker 3: I cannot tell you enough how much they love Caleb Mahultra.
Speaker 3: They've been watching them a lot. They got him high
Speaker 3: on their draft board. But I'll also tell you this,
Speaker 3: they love Chase Read a lot. Two sixty three rightshot
Speaker 3: d Skates brings offense. He's an American, but they like
Speaker 3: they like him a lot too, done a lot, Okay, speaking.
Speaker 1: Of that at number three, and look, I looked at
Speaker 1: several mock drafts because a lot of the people who
Speaker 1: come up with these mock drafts have reworked their mock
Speaker 1: drafts given all the trades with draft picks that have
Speaker 1: taken place. For instance, Buffalo now holds the fourth pick
Speaker 1: after the deal with with with Chicago, that that sort
Speaker 1: of things. A lot of people have reworked their their
Speaker 1: mock drafts. So, but everybody has the Canucks. Everybody that
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday has the Canucks taking Caleb Caleb. Yes.
Speaker 1: So here's Ryan Johnson again on how and of course
Speaker 1: many Maholtre Caleb's dad now head coach at the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: This is Ryan Johnson on how Other than before he
Speaker 1: was promoted, other than before he was made head coach
Speaker 1: of the Banker connection, Ryan hasn't talked with Manny about
Speaker 1: the possibility of drafting his son Caleb.
Speaker 4: Not at all. It's not something Manny. Manny and I've
Speaker 4: been open with you guys and saying that I discussed
Speaker 4: it with Manny when I hired him, that if that
Speaker 4: was going to be an issue, then it wasn't something
Speaker 4: that he and I should move forward with. After that
Speaker 4: that was put to bed. We don't discuss it. We
Speaker 4: never have. He will be a dad supporting his son
Speaker 4: this weekend, and I'll be trying to manage a hockey
Speaker 4: team to make the best pick at three that we
Speaker 4: feel it will be a big part of our future,
Speaker 4: and that's all we'll approach it.
Speaker 5: What the list is or what the plan is for
Speaker 5: your pick.
Speaker 4: There's not a whole lot of variables because you're picking
Speaker 4: so high.
Speaker 1: Does Manny know what your preferences are?
Speaker 4: I can say this with complete honesty, Ian, He and
Speaker 4: I have never discussed it.
Speaker 1: Man He's going to be a dad today. According Ryan Johnson, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and the proud father, Donny.
Speaker 3: His kids are really good hockey player. He's going to
Speaker 3: go high in the draft. Proud proud dad.
Speaker 1: Let's hit the wadling dog poll question very quickly. Here.
Speaker 1: Zach Benson of the Buffalo Sabers to sign Rae deal.
Speaker 1: He's going to join us. In the next segment, Waterling
Speaker 1: Dog Pole Question experience one of Victoria's iconic destinations. Catch
Speaker 1: the World Cup at the Dog with Canada games shown
Speaker 1: live and loud on all twenty two TVs with full sound.
Speaker 3: Come sit and stay at the Wadling Dog today, Eric Ryan,
Speaker 3: get her up the Waterling Dog pop pop question. Assuming
Speaker 3: McKenna and Stenberg are those first two picks in the
Speaker 3: draft tonight, who should the Canucks then take? Maholter reed,
Speaker 3: Carson Correll's out of Prince George. Really really, we interviewed,
Speaker 3: actually we've interviewed all these guys except Vigio b York.
Speaker 3: But anyways, the people of Vancouver think it's going to
Speaker 3: be Chase Reid at forty three percent, followed by Maholter
Speaker 3: at twenty seven, followed by.
Speaker 1: Vigio b Jork. That's a high number for.
Speaker 3: Me, that Vigio b Jork and then comes Carrel's at
Speaker 3: the end. But boy, Vigeo Bjork, who's also a center
Speaker 3: a little bit on the small side out of Sweden,
Speaker 3: super super competitive hockey player. But there you go. But
Speaker 3: people think it's going to be Chase Reed.
Speaker 1: Well, not necessarily. The wording isn't who will they take,
Speaker 1: it's who should they take? Should they take? I'm surprised
Speaker 1: at this, not the majority, but Chase Reid is number
Speaker 1: one on this list at forty three percent. I would
Speaker 1: have guessed it would if it would have been Caleb Maholtra.
Speaker 1: But a large portion of our audience saying, well, no,
Speaker 1: it's let's let's go with the right. Shote American defenseman
Speaker 1: Chase Reid and Ryan Johnson yesterday and that press conference
Speaker 1: talked about how look that that's not going to come
Speaker 1: into play somebody's nationality, despite what the news that has
Speaker 1: broken over the past, you know, a couple couple of
Speaker 1: weeks with Brady Kuchuk going to Florida, you know, and
Speaker 1: then of course go back a few months back to
Speaker 1: December and Quinn he was for the US going from
Speaker 1: Vancouver to Minnesota. That at first, you know, when a
Speaker 1: player is young and you're drafting him, he's not going
Speaker 1: to take that at consideration. But it might. It might
Speaker 1: rear its ugly ahead somewhere down somewhere down.
Speaker 3: The road, six seven, eight years down the road. But
Speaker 3: that's six seven, eight years down the road, not today. Okay,
Speaker 3: here's what's.
Speaker 1: Coming up on the show, Ryan waving his arms frantically
Speaker 1: for us to go to break TTMC. Is it just me?

Speaker 1: Guys? Very good? Safe to say you're gonna be watching
Speaker 1: the draft today?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 6: No, absolutely.
Speaker 1: What do you remember about your draft? I think it
Speaker 1: was in Nashville, if I'm not mistaken, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: thirteenth overall. Did you have a good idea that you
Speaker 1: were going to be taken by the Sabers.
Speaker 6: No, actually I had no idea. I probably talked to
Speaker 6: them maybe twice. And you know, there's a few teams
Speaker 6: ahead of them that I thought, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 6: maybe select me in Yeah, so I didn't expect it
Speaker 6: at all, and it's a fun day and I'm excited
Speaker 6: to see the reactions tonight when the guys get selected.
Speaker 1: What's your reaction to signing the new seven year deal, Zach.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's just excitement. I mean, you saw
Speaker 6: what we did this year and how good our team
Speaker 6: can be in the future we have, so you know,
Speaker 6: for me, it was a no brainer to be in
Speaker 6: Buffalo a long time.
Speaker 5: I love it there.
Speaker 1: Can you describe what that was like? I mean, Buffalo
Speaker 1: and Rick and I know this because we've been around
Speaker 1: for a long long time, but there was a drought there.
Speaker 1: What was it like being part of a playoff run
Speaker 1: for a Buffalo team, a Savers team that hadn't been
Speaker 1: on the postseason for fourteen years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was unbelievable.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's so funny im skating with guys now
Speaker 6: and they're like, oh, it looks so fun and it
Speaker 6: was exactly that. I mean, the fans were crazy and
Speaker 6: there's so much excitement. You'd go to a grocery store
Speaker 6: or restaurant and you know, people are always you know,
Speaker 6: go Savers and wrapping the Sabers swag.
Speaker 5: So it was pretty cool.
Speaker 3: That way is Zach, You're you're twenty one years old.
Speaker 3: You just got fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1: How nervous was that process?
Speaker 3: You're a young guy, but you're going back and forth
Speaker 3: with your agent, who's Ross Gurney out of Vancouver.
Speaker 1: But talk about that.
Speaker 3: Process, just going through this contract negotiation at an early age.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, Ross did an excellent job of,
Speaker 6: you know, obviously filling me in, but at the same time,
Speaker 6: you know, kind of just making it easy on me.
Speaker 6: And you know, I kind of made it clear that
Speaker 6: I wanted to be there a long time, and you know,
Speaker 6: I'm excited for the future of the group. So you know,
Speaker 6: Ross did a good job and him and Yarmo came
Speaker 6: to a deal that worked for both sides.
Speaker 3: Jack, what's going on here? Boem Barrum gone, Alex Tuck gone.
Speaker 3: You know, the two significant guys at a Buffalo gone
Speaker 3: this week.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's tough for sure.
Speaker 6: You know, I love both those guys. I mean, we
Speaker 6: had such a tight group and but obviously Yarmo has
Speaker 6: been doing this a long time, and you know, he's
Speaker 6: trying to put pieces together to make us a stronger group.
Speaker 6: But at the same time, It's sad to see those
Speaker 6: guys go, but it's also cool and you know, you're
Speaker 6: happy for them to to sign those big tickets.
Speaker 3: Zach, your playoff was tremendous nine points thirteen games. You
Speaker 3: were a past your driving teams nuts players nuts talk
Speaker 3: about your.
Speaker 1: Coming out party in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you really were one of the better performers
Speaker 3: of Buffalo in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think, you know, we had an excellent line for
Speaker 6: most of the playoffs. It was me and Norris and
Speaker 6: Don't and you know, we just we hunted pocks and
Speaker 6: played hard, and you know, I felt there's a lot
Speaker 6: of guys in our team that kind of elevated during
Speaker 6: that time. And you know, obviously you have to do
Speaker 6: that come come that time of the year, and you know,
Speaker 6: we had a lot of guys show that they're they're
Speaker 6: big time players.
Speaker 1: You know what, Zack.
Speaker 3: A lot of kids get drafted, they go to the miners,
Speaker 3: they go to they go to June, back to junior
Speaker 3: before they you don't really make it in the NHL.
Speaker 3: Do you have to pinch yourself sometimes you get drafted.
Speaker 3: You been in Buffalo since that draft?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, uh, you know, you kind of you
Speaker 6: go to camp always expecting to make the team, but
Speaker 6: you know, being an eighteen year old in a in
Speaker 6: a man's league, it can be tough. And you know,
Speaker 6: there was some tough days. Uh you know, I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna lie, but you know, we had such a good
Speaker 6: supporting cast and leadership group and uh they kind of
Speaker 6: make it a lot easier and obviously it uh, it
Speaker 6: grows you into the person you are pretty quick.
Speaker 1: What's it like playing for Lindy Ruff, who was in
Speaker 1: Adams Award candidate finalist.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, for sure. You know it's it's hard not
Speaker 6: to argue that he should have won that, but uh, obviously,
Speaker 6: you know he's an excellent coach. He's been around a
Speaker 6: long time and you know he uh he has this
Speaker 6: playing a really good system. But at the same time
Speaker 6: he lets us play free too. So he's super super
Speaker 6: good coach and a big reason of to why we
Speaker 6: we made it to where we did.
Speaker 1: What was your like playing in those two I know
Speaker 1: it didn't end up the way you wanted it to,
Speaker 1: but what was it like playing in those two buildings
Speaker 1: in that second round in Montreal and in Buffalo? It
Speaker 1: looked spectacular?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. It was
Speaker 6: it was so much fun. It was definitely the most
Speaker 6: fun I've ever had playing hockey. And I can probably
Speaker 6: speak for my teammates and saying that too. So both
Speaker 6: arenas were rocking and it was just a cool atmosphere
Speaker 6: at home and on the road.
Speaker 1: Other than watching the draft today, what's on chap for
Speaker 1: the off season?
Speaker 6: Zach just back in Vancouver skating and training out and
Speaker 6: downtown Van and Burnaby. So nothing too exciting, but just
Speaker 6: kind of back to work.
Speaker 1: Well, you become a semi regular on our show. We
Speaker 1: can't thank you enough. Congratulations on an outstanding season and
Speaker 1: the new deal. Zach, have a great summer. Thank you.
Speaker 6: I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 1: You've been Zach manson number six and your lucky number
Speaker 1: program for the flow Sabers again a seven year extension,
Speaker 1: seven years, seven point five AAV drafted thirteenth overall in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, two spots after the Canucks took Tom Vilander.
Speaker 3: Well, you asked the question, were you you know the
Speaker 3: Buffalo take and he said, right there, there were teams
Speaker 3: ahead of me I thought would take me, and I
Speaker 3: do believe he was thinking about Vancouver.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think the story. Look, look, Zach Benson
Speaker 1: had a postseason run, and if you want to call
Speaker 1: two rounds a run, certainly people in Vancouver would call
Speaker 1: two rounds a run. With the Buffalo Sabers, he was
Speaker 1: front and center. And you mentioned it to Rick, you know,
Speaker 1: getting under the scan of opponents, the Bruins and the Habs.
Speaker 1: I think there's still a lot to be written when
Speaker 1: it comes to Tom Vilander. Defensemen usually take longer to
Speaker 1: mature on the ice in the National Hockey League, but
Speaker 1: he shows a lot there. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: the comparisons between those two. Like, I don't think the
Speaker 1: Canucks blew it. It's tough because it's you know, we're
Speaker 1: talking about a low kid there in Zach Benson. But
Speaker 1: I think the story is still to be written. A
Speaker 1: lot of the story is still to be written when
Speaker 1: it comes to Velanders.
Speaker 3: Okay, so go to his draft, positional pick or best player.
Speaker 3: The Canucks took the positional pick, will Lander Wright shot
Speaker 3: they had nothing in the system. They passed on Benson.
Speaker 3: There is your example of taking the positional guy over
Speaker 3: the best player. You're saying the I'm not saying they
Speaker 3: made a mistake. I'm saying, there's your example when you
Speaker 3: take a positional pick high the guy behind you Boom
Speaker 3: just signed for fifty million.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the thing is, and I go on a
Speaker 1: lot about this, and we talked about a young another
Speaker 1: thing we talked about yesterday, players that can bring a building.
Speaker 1: In this case, Rogers arena alive and Zach Benson's like that. Again,
Speaker 1: nothing against Tom Vlander. There's a long way to go
Speaker 1: for him, and I think he has the makings the
Speaker 1: way he carries himself on and off the ice, the
Speaker 1: makings of a future captain or it's an assistant captain.
Speaker 1: But Benson at that size, what he does in front
Speaker 1: of the net, you know, he reminds us of is
Speaker 1: a somebody having shot? Well, okay, I was gonna say
Speaker 1: somebody we had on the show earlier this week, a
Speaker 1: young Brendan Gallagher. Yeah, Brendan Gallagher. Yeah, like Brendan Gallagher,
Speaker 1: a local kid. Okay, how are we doing? Ryan good? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's take a break up next again, NHL Draft Day.
Speaker 1: We'll talk World Cup as well. Thomas Grants from the
Speaker 1: Athletic is going to join us. Donnie telling the team.

Speaker 1: by our title sponsor Able Auctions, Able Auctions dot C
Speaker 1: A base side inbox. Just before we get to Thomas Grants, FYI,
Speaker 1: if Zach was in our organization, there's a word before organization.
Speaker 1: I won't say it. These uh these people he didn't
Speaker 1: he or she didn't use the word people stretch with
Speaker 1: a J. These people the old regime would still have
Speaker 1: him in Abbotsford. So there's that too. Oh mfg, there
Speaker 1: you go. But Zach Benson is in Buffalo and he
Speaker 1: looks like it will be for a long time. Seven
Speaker 1: years seven point five aa V And again we thank
Speaker 1: him for joining us. In our previous segue, we thank
Speaker 1: Thomas Grant's very busy on this draft day from the
Speaker 1: athletics for joining us. Now, Thomas, thanks for doing this, sir.
Speaker 5: How are you doing well following Zach Benson. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: have to mix it up, get under your skin, gentlemen.
Speaker 5: Great player. Congratulations to him. That's really cool. And yeah,
Speaker 5: interesting day for the Vancouver Canucks today, Draft Day two
Speaker 5: first round picks their highest pick since nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 5: Betting lines swinging wildly toward the right handed defenseman Chase Reed.
Speaker 5: Paully Corey Yeah, Corey Prohnman mocking the Canucks to select
Speaker 5: Chase Reid. So should be an interesting night, obviously. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna be looking closely at whether the Canucks can get
Speaker 5: back into the first round for a third pick. Potentially,
Speaker 5: you know they have that thirty third pick. Ryan Johnson
Speaker 5: discussed being open to the idea of sort of moving
Speaker 5: up or down the board depending on what options present themselves.
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm.
Speaker 5: Like, I'm looking closely at that Autawa Senator's twenty fifth
Speaker 5: overall pick. Look, the Canucks have been quiet to this point,
Speaker 5: even as the NHL trademarket itself has wimd and word
Speaker 5: and sort of got going on in a major way
Speaker 5: this week. But I still believe that, you know, based
Speaker 5: on what I'm hearing about who's available around the league,
Speaker 5: the conversations the Canucks are having, Like, I still think
Speaker 5: that this team, given their druthers, like if they were
Speaker 5: able to execute their perfect plan, would move decisively to
Speaker 5: get younger and begin to tear this down more concretely,
Speaker 5: I think they know they need to. I think you're
Speaker 5: seeing that in them allowing the UFAs to walk. Now.
Speaker 5: Ryan Johnson did sort of give the shpiel yesterday about
Speaker 5: how you have to be gradual in it and you
Speaker 5: need good people, and you know, I think that applies
Speaker 5: to Philip Eronic maybe, but I don't know that that's
Speaker 5: a universal sentiment. Like I'm still hearing Jake Debrusk's name
Speaker 5: out there. I'm hearing that the club is motivated to
Speaker 5: explore their options on Elias Petterson. I don't think anything's
Speaker 5: imminent there, but I think they're motivated to try and
Speaker 5: find a solution there. So you know, it'll be fascinating
Speaker 5: to see what the Canucks can accomplish between now in
Speaker 5: July first, but especially tonight, like especially on draft night,
Speaker 5: given the importance of this event, the importance of young talent,
Speaker 5: to sort of what the future of this organization looks like.
Speaker 5: That's my long spill. How are you guys doing very well?
Speaker 1: We're out of time later by audio, No, seriously, though
Speaker 1: you touched on this earlier. Let's assume McKenna and Stenberg
Speaker 1: aren't there, Reid, Maholtra, maybe somebody else. Who should they
Speaker 1: pick at at number three?
Speaker 5: Oh, well, you're asking the wrong guy. I mean, I
Speaker 5: love Bigo, b York and Carson Carls like I'm I
Speaker 5: think there's this perception in the league. I like Behrhof too.
Speaker 5: I think there's this perception in the league that the
Speaker 5: two OHL guys Malhotra and Reed are sort of in
Speaker 5: this mini tier after Stenberg and McKenna, and I kind
Speaker 5: of just don't see it that way. The Ohl is
Speaker 5: really tough to analyze. For a variety of reasons. This year,
Speaker 5: you know, they had eighty eight grads move on to
Speaker 5: play NCAA hockey. Now, some of those guys were overragers
Speaker 5: that had aged out of CHL competition anyway, but there
Speaker 5: were some Porter Martinez in there, some Anthony Romani, a
Speaker 5: Canucks prospect, some some Henry Muse, some guys like that,
Speaker 5: who you know, would have been one hundred and twenty
Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty point guys in the OHL and
Speaker 5: so OHL, the OHL kind of lost this top end
Speaker 5: of older guys that probably would have dominated the league
Speaker 5: as a whole, scored less, Like, there was little less
Speaker 5: offense in the league as a whole. And for me,
Speaker 5: a guy who spends a lot of time breaking down,
Speaker 5: you know, counting stats and historical comps, that that alone
Speaker 5: poses some challenges analytically in terms of sort of what
Speaker 5: ways you apply. And then also there was this huge
Speaker 5: influx of guys from the NHL and the BCHL and
Speaker 5: the USHL who came in and sort of deepened these lineups.
Speaker 5: And so you know, in Chase Reed, a guy who
Speaker 5: got cut from his USHL team at the age of sixteen,
Speaker 5: went into the OHL midway through his age seventeen season
Speaker 5: and then has been dynamic dominant for the Sue Greyhounds.
Speaker 5: Or guy like Kayla Malhotra who's never really been a
Speaker 5: top point producer for his teams on the way up,
Speaker 5: but then he gets to Branford this season and especially
Speaker 5: in the second half of the year, end of the playoffs,
Speaker 5: just absolutely cooks everybody who he goes on the ice
Speaker 5: against and sort of rises. Both of these guys are
Speaker 5: out of nowhere, risers up draft boards sort of across
Speaker 5: the course of their draft season. But they've done so
Speaker 5: in a league that you know, I don't really understand
Speaker 5: how to evaluate in terms of how strong it is
Speaker 5: relative to where it's been historically, and that makes me nervous.
Speaker 5: I think that introduces some risk into this tier of players,
Speaker 5: especially because you know how good a job is the
Speaker 5: league itself doing adjusting for how much more difficult the
Speaker 5: NC double A is. I mean, remember the conversation about
Speaker 5: McKenna in the first part of his year, the Beharhoff
Speaker 5: conversation and the idea that he's falling the time, and
Speaker 5: in Lawrence conversation after he went to the NC DOUBLEA.
Speaker 5: Like the NC DOUBLEA is tougher than it's ever been
Speaker 5: that much we know for sure. Are we waiting that
Speaker 5: appropriately when we're sort of discussing what these guys accomplished
Speaker 5: at the top of the class. I'm not sure, but
Speaker 5: it makes me a little bit. It makes me a
Speaker 5: little bit hesitant. I suppose to sort of look at
Speaker 5: Reed and Malhotra as being like the clear cut third
Speaker 5: and fourth prospects in this class. I just don't see
Speaker 5: it that way. I can't really get there. What I
Speaker 5: will say is Malhotra is an exceptional player, an exceptional prospect,
Speaker 5: really good playmaker. And as a general rule, when NHL
Speaker 5: teams have picked Ohl Centerman high in the draft across
Speaker 5: the last fifteen years, they've known what they're talking about.
Speaker 5: These guys generally are very good, at least top six fixtures.
Speaker 5: And in Chase Reed, you're talking about a guy who,
Speaker 5: whatever the production says, is the best skater in the class.
Speaker 5: He's six foot three, he's right handed, he's got a
Speaker 5: wicked shot. He might just be two toolsy to fail
Speaker 5: regardless of what the production says. So, no matter what,
Speaker 5: the Canucks are going to get a very very good
Speaker 5: prospect a third overall, even though They're unlikely. It seems,
Speaker 5: at least based on how the betting markets have it
Speaker 5: at the moment, to take one of the guys that
Speaker 5: I'd be like, Yeah, that's the third best prospect in
Speaker 5: the class.
Speaker 3: What do you lean out of Ryan Johnson yesterday? Here's
Speaker 3: what I got. He's gonna be patient. No knee jerk
Speaker 3: reactions just because four teams made a trade on Wednesday
Speaker 3: and a bunch of yeah who's on Twitter are saying
Speaker 3: you got to make a trade.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna do that.
Speaker 3: He's not going to make a trade just because other
Speaker 3: teams made a trade or people want him to make
Speaker 3: a trade. I think this guy's gonna be patient. I
Speaker 3: don't think he has a lot of money to play with.
Speaker 3: I don't think Thomas july First is going to bring
Speaker 3: any big buck deals here. But I certainly got the
Speaker 3: feel from him yesterday. They got a plan. They're gonna
Speaker 3: take their time. They're not gonna rush into this.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I don't know why you're denigrating the yeah who's on Twitter, Rick,
Speaker 5: I mean the yeah who's on twins or have generally
Speaker 5: had better takes than the Canucks organization across the last decade. WHOA,
Speaker 5: let's be ru but the yeah, in terms of in
Speaker 5: terms of the Canucks in activity, you know, I think
Speaker 5: there's a difference between patients and passivity, right, I think
Speaker 5: there's a difference between patients and paralysis. I think Brian
Speaker 5: Johnson would and the Citine Twins would, all things being equal,
Speaker 5: prefer to be moving and shaking and making deals and
Speaker 5: getting younger and subtracting from this roster. In my mind
Speaker 5: like that, that to me is what they would like
Speaker 5: to do. The question is whether or not they can
Speaker 5: accomplish it. You know, I think it makes sense for
Speaker 5: fans to be looking at, you know, three top ten
Speaker 5: picks moving in trades and a top five pick which
Speaker 5: we never see, and wondering if there's opportunity cost involved
Speaker 5: in the Canucks sort of not being more actively involved
Speaker 5: in that sort of premium trade chips market. The problem is,
Speaker 5: of course, is that the only chip they had to
Speaker 5: play in that marketplace was Philipparona. Can you know, I
Speaker 5: think they really value his leadership. He bought into the rebuild,
Speaker 5: especially down the stretch last season. You know, I know
Speaker 5: he wasn't eager to discuss his candidacy for captain at
Speaker 5: locker room clean out day, But don't ignore how much
Speaker 5: effort he did put into being more available right over
Speaker 5: the course of the season, Like he was a more
Speaker 5: prominent spokesperson for this team day to day in the
Speaker 5: room after losses, after practices than he had been previously,
Speaker 5: especially after the Quinn Hughes trade. Like that shows a
Speaker 5: guy who's trying to buy in. So you can understand
Speaker 5: why they'd value that significantly and maybe a little bit
Speaker 5: differently than they would with some of the other veterans
Speaker 5: who didn't take those steps. Right, So, you know, I
Speaker 5: think it's all continuum, It's all a balance. You want
Speaker 5: to be patient, but you can't be too patient, right
Speaker 5: you want to make moves or you want to avoid
Speaker 5: making knee jerk moves, but you do need to transition
Speaker 5: this team, get younger, open up roster spots for younger
Speaker 5: players to compete for, right, Like, there's a balance here.
Speaker 5: Doing nothing I think would be unacceptable. You know that
Speaker 5: that's not to say that you have to absolutely rush
Speaker 5: through or make bad moves, Like, I think there's got
Speaker 5: to be a balance here that we can discuss where
Speaker 5: you know, the Canucks get to July one, and they
Speaker 5: haven't subtracted any of those seven contracts that they have
Speaker 5: on their books. I'm talking to two goalies, the two
Speaker 5: defenseman Marcus Petterson and Philip Peronik, and the three forwards Besser, Debrausk, Petterson. Right,
Speaker 5: those are all guys twenty seven or older, long term deals,
Speaker 5: some form of no mover or no trade protection. If
Speaker 5: you get to July one, July two, July three, July four,
Speaker 5: July five, and you've subtracted none of those guys from
Speaker 5: this roster at the start of a rebuild, I mean,
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be fair to look at
Speaker 5: that and say that's way too patient. That's paralysis. That's
Speaker 5: not patients, that's paralysis. Right, So there's a balance here
Speaker 5: that they're going to have to find and it'll be
Speaker 5: interesting to watch as they do it.
Speaker 3: And also he mentioned, we don't want to lose nine
Speaker 3: to one and you know, get our teeth kicked in
Speaker 3: every night, Thomas said, because when you lose nine to
Speaker 3: one in a reb your young kids, their development, their
Speaker 3: confidence goes south. And so I he does want to
Speaker 3: keep some of these veterans around for that reason.
Speaker 5: I don't worry about that though, I mean I remember
Speaker 5: that ten to one Canuck's victory over the Sharks, and
Speaker 5: then they got bludgeoned for seven and then eight. Remember
Speaker 5: Kyle Burrows was on that team, Rick and Thomas Hurdle,
Speaker 5: but also like a lot of their young guys who
Speaker 5: are promising now we're on that team, right, Like William
Speaker 5: Ecklind who they just traded for the ninth overall pick,
Speaker 5: had a pretty good season. Is he was on that team.
Speaker 5: Zeterlind who they were able to monetize like he was
Speaker 5: on that team. Like they had young pieces that are
Speaker 5: still developing very well who are part of you know,
Speaker 5: what I'd consider to be the most embarrassing rebuilding team
Speaker 5: in ten years. Like I think if you're worrying too
Speaker 5: much about the qualitative way you go about losing as
Speaker 5: opposed to the big picture strategy of what do we
Speaker 5: have to do to land our Macklin Celebrini, I think
Speaker 5: you're wasting energy. I think you're putting it in the
Speaker 5: wrong place. Manny Mahotro will help you play organized hockey, right.
Speaker 5: You're gonna have a floor here because you've got some
Speaker 5: competitive people. What you need to do is find the
Speaker 5: top end guys that can make a difference that can
Speaker 5: help this team claw from the seller over the course
Speaker 5: of the next five to ten years.
Speaker 1: That's what.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where your energy has to be directed to.
Speaker 5: And one of the ways you do it is maximizing
Speaker 5: the amount of kicks off the can, the amount of
Speaker 5: picks you have, the amount of good assets that you
Speaker 5: have to you know, go about finding identifying, bringing in
Speaker 5: those players. So you know, for me anyway, like I
Speaker 5: don't worry too much, like guess whether whether you keep
Speaker 5: Pronic or trade Heronic, whether you keep Pederson or trade Petterson,
Speaker 5: whether you keep de Breask or trade de Breask, whether
Speaker 5: you keep the goalies or trade the goalies. There's gonna
Speaker 5: be some tough knights in Vancouver over the next few years, gentlemen,
Speaker 5: Like I think we all know that. And at the
Speaker 5: end of the day, whether it's four to one or
Speaker 5: six to one, you know, to me, that's that's putting
Speaker 5: your focus in the wrong place.
Speaker 1: As long as there's a glimpse of hope there for
Speaker 1: the paying customer. Thomas, thanks for this Happy draft.
Speaker 5: Day to you guys as well.
Speaker 1: Have a good one, you bet talk to you next week.
Speaker 1: Thomas Grant's from the athletic Okay, some people are honest
Speaker 1: for not talking about the World Cup. It's the two
Speaker 1: days away Canada Big game. Well you've got something, so
Speaker 1: he's got something in Big Ryan. The next segment, I
Speaker 1: hope we're going to talk about has Okay, we'll let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. Then we had a little bit of
Speaker 1: time here. Yeah, Canada first of all, France and Norway
Speaker 1: today Harling versus Imbape outstanding at the top of Group I.
Speaker 1: But Canada versus South Africa Round of thirty two on Sunday.

Speaker 1: talk about? Okay, what are you talking about? Team Canada
Speaker 1: will where it's black. Oh yeah, they're gonna wear black
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I just called them team Canada. That's a
Speaker 1: hockey thing. The Canadians will wear their black ice jerseys.
Speaker 1: And you don't like it, and I do. FIFA makes
Speaker 1: a choice, by the way, which can the teams are
Speaker 1: gonna wear, and they've decided on the black ice for Canada.
Speaker 1: They beat Guitar six nail with those on. The players
Speaker 1: are happy about that. I'm a karma guy, superstitious kind
Speaker 1: of guy. Canada should be in red. But I'll guarantee
Speaker 1: you the players are happy just because they won that
Speaker 1: game with the black jerseys on, and they've won another
Speaker 1: other games in the past with black jerseys on. Canada
Speaker 1: should be in red. I agree with you there, Yes,
Speaker 1: superstitious wise, karma wise, I don't have a problem with
Speaker 1: this this decision at all. And again they're not making
Speaker 1: the decision FIFA is okay. So that is on Sunday.

Speaker 1: five oh two, four eight eight, triple three. Your Island
Speaker 1: adventure starts here. Just I had a big ride the
Speaker 1: quitter guy. I meant to say this after the Thomas
Speaker 1: Drants interview, but he was talking about the Ontario Hockey
Speaker 1: League and Read and Malhultra being likely one at one
Speaker 1: of the two being a likely choice for the Canucks
Speaker 1: at number three. And he made the point about the
Speaker 1: Ontario Hockey League being thinned out because of the because
Speaker 1: of the new NCAA roles they've lost, maybe not Read,
Speaker 1: maybe not Malhultra. Because of that, you look at the
Speaker 1: junior leagues in Canada, a little bit differently now, yes
Speaker 1: than maybe you did even just a just a year ago,
Speaker 1: big ryot. Yes, you had a lozenge going no.
Speaker 8: Water and I had a piece of ice. Does that ice?
Speaker 1: I'm with it? Okay? Wait are you in your venue?
Speaker 1: Impersonation a little bit? Okay?
Speaker 8: You just teased this yesterday, the United States against Is
Speaker 8: it Turkey A?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Turkey A right?
Speaker 8: Not Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey A.
Speaker 1: Undutly getting it wrong probably Yeah.
Speaker 8: But it was a hell of a game last night
Speaker 8: in Los Angeles atmosphere. Turkey A goes up to one.
Speaker 8: Vancouver White Cap Sebastian Burholter unfortunately can't show the goal again.
Speaker 1: Dude, why Cup rights worse than the Olympics? Burholt waday Olympics.
Speaker 8: Burholter ties the game and the MLS tweeting out this statistic,
Speaker 8: which is surprising.
Speaker 1: Derek was blown away by this, shocked by this.
Speaker 8: With his second half goal, Sebastian Burholter became the first
Speaker 8: active MLS player in league history to record at least
Speaker 8: one goal and at least one assist in the world
Speaker 8: in a World Cup match.
Speaker 1: So he made history.
Speaker 8: He's just on the first goal scores the second one,
Speaker 8: the big one, to tie it. Then they gave up
Speaker 8: the lost literally the death like seconds remaining, Turkeys scores
Speaker 8: again to win it three to two, which I just
Speaker 8: loved because if they had gone completely, if they had
Speaker 8: swept their group the.
Speaker 1: States, it was a mean nothing game for them.
Speaker 8: It was but the chest, the chest pounding. If they
Speaker 8: were three and oh would have just been. I couldn't
Speaker 8: take it. I couldn't take it. So I'm glad that
Speaker 8: they lost yesterday. But Sebastian Burhol, they're very impressive, very
Speaker 8: impressive stuff from him, and unfortunately, I hate to say this.
Speaker 1: Edgy, edgy game. He plays yeah, big time, like he
Speaker 1: was getting under their skin, as he does with with
Speaker 1: the white Caps. Good for the white Caps to have.
Speaker 8: That, absolutely, I just hate it because I don't know
Speaker 8: how much longer he's going to be here in Vancouver unfortunately,
Speaker 8: Like his stock is going through the whole team, but
Speaker 8: him in particular. First, his stock has been his stock
Speaker 8: has been rising at a rapid rapid pace. He was
Speaker 8: really prominent, big time, big time, big time, and Polistic
Speaker 8: came on late and he's been dealing with an injury
Speaker 8: and everything.
Speaker 1: But he was he was shining Yester. You had a
Speaker 1: problem with him showing the celebrities during the game. It
Speaker 1: was a bit much.
Speaker 8: Every start Los Angeles, it's all brad Well, Okay, here's
Speaker 8: Europeans don't know.
Speaker 1: European South Americans are probably loving that.
Speaker 8: The one thing to point out is it's a world
Speaker 8: feet meaning that those camera angles, everything you see goes
Speaker 8: out to all the countries. So you're maybe playing like
Speaker 8: because the North American artists, we see these people.
Speaker 1: It's for them, it's unusual for them to see that.
Speaker 8: The best is when they showed um show. And this
Speaker 8: has been happening with a variety of mattress and it's
Speaker 8: no disrespect because again for a lot of these people,
Speaker 8: they don't Some of them I don't even know who
Speaker 8: they are, but the commentators the flast of them, and
Speaker 8: the commentators have no clue who the person is. That's uh,
Speaker 8: somebody like they. He was alongside Edward Norton, I think
Speaker 8: is who was standing. Edward Norton was the guy beside him.
Speaker 8: And he's a great actor.
Speaker 1: I love his movie underrated movie The Score, Yeah, with
Speaker 1: de Niro and Marlon Brando Italian job. Edward Norton was
Speaker 1: bringing up movies with you. I don't know James Cameron,
Speaker 1: he was there. I'm trying to think of any of
Speaker 1: the others they showed that were there. Uh. In they
Speaker 1: just seemed to be going to them too much.
Speaker 8: It was like every stoppage like I'd rather see I'd
Speaker 8: rather see a fan on the edge of their seat
Speaker 8: than you know, a rich person that's been gifted.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's gonna sell the broadcast more? You
Speaker 3: got a problem the Lakers play Jack Nicholson.
Speaker 8: Well no, but that's also, to be fair, that's ingrained
Speaker 8: in like a Lakers broadcast there.
Speaker 1: Having famous people come to big sporting events is part
Speaker 1: of the culture down there. I didn't have a for a.
Speaker 8: Lot a second when the NFL broadcast showed Taylor Swift
Speaker 8: to be three seconds, you had a beef with that.
Speaker 1: What's the what's the difference?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I didn't, Yes, you did, chance I bag remember this. No,
Speaker 1: I I totally understand what they're trying to do. They're
Speaker 1: trying to promote their product to a different audience too. Yeah, exactly, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's see you're not you're not remembering well, are you
Speaker 1: gonna show the messy statue or yes? So you've been
Speaker 1: calling for this. I don't know if that's real. Quinn
Speaker 1: showed me this yesterday.
Speaker 8: No, I really doubt it. Yeah, this is a new statue.
Speaker 8: You at the location it's It's been unveiled in Patagonia,
Speaker 8: which is kind of connected to Argentina.
Speaker 1: The southern tip of Argentina, but I don't believe look
Speaker 1: geography fans out there. I apologize that it's connected to
Speaker 1: the rest of Argentina, much like Alaska in the US,
Speaker 1: right and the mainline US.
Speaker 8: So the interesting thing a lot of people have here
Speaker 8: is he's got the World Cup. He's crouched down for
Speaker 8: the podcast letter as I apologize, he's crouched out, he's
Speaker 8: on his knees, and he's got the World Cup between.
Speaker 1: Rick on a Friday night.
Speaker 8: But then you can see here the reverse view not great,
Speaker 8: not great.
Speaker 1: That's not a good it's not a girl. The statue
Speaker 1: is bad enough, and then you throw the World Cup
Speaker 1: at his crutch. I mean, what do you think you
Speaker 1: said this for?
Speaker 8: Awkward? Let's stop the statues, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1: Statues creep me out, that's whine.
Speaker 8: The only place that really gets them bang on is
Speaker 8: the Hall of Fame. No, the NFL Hall of Fame,
Speaker 8: like the bus at the Hall of Fame, cfl ones
Speaker 8: creeping like the bus usually of just the heads, they're
Speaker 8: actually quite good.
Speaker 1: Come on, they're creepy. Just ahead, they're creepy. You got
Speaker 1: locked in at night, somebody locked you in. All he
Speaker 1: sees a bunch of floating heads around you, like a
Speaker 1: toy story situation, but start yapping at each other. So
Speaker 1: are you still of the belief this might be ai?
Speaker 8: I just I don't know how could you design something
Speaker 8: like that?
Speaker 1: I don't know who gives who gives the okay for this?
Speaker 1: Like if it is real?
Speaker 3: The first picture is concerning. It's concerning, to say the least.
Speaker 3: But anyways, the other world cup in front of his crow.
Speaker 3: The other one is fine.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, here's the thing.
Speaker 8: If they didn't think this through and they you know,
Speaker 8: they set it up and everything, and then sody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 8: The architects there and he goes, oh damn, like from
Speaker 8: behind he's like, we didn't think about this because it's
Speaker 8: just it's under proportions.
Speaker 1: It's interesting. The second one is fine, but the first
Speaker 1: one is feared. It's the same picture it's the same set,
Speaker 1: don it's different views.
Speaker 3: This is from behind, well, either from front the front
Speaker 3: one's alright, I guess the back one is concerning to me.
Speaker 1: There you go. Okay, I'm glad we got that. I'm
Speaker 1: super glad again. Derek was making the pliny. He was
Speaker 1: surprised Messi has it come up with the goal and.
Speaker 8: To the first not this graphic, to the first graphic
Speaker 8: with Burhalter.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but during his time as an MLS.
Speaker 8: Player, he's scoring goals, but this you remember yet this
Speaker 8: is his first World Cup as an MLS player. You've
Speaker 8: got to be an active MLS player. And I'm trying
Speaker 8: to think like some of the other greats, and you
Speaker 8: bring it up, Darning, a lot of them were at
Speaker 8: the end of their career. I mean, look at there's
Speaker 8: a lot of people that don't think Ronaldo should be
Speaker 8: and he's not in the MLS.
Speaker 1: I know, but Ronaldo shouldn't even be on the.
Speaker 8: Portuguese team, even though he got the two goals the
Speaker 8: other day. But you know, these guys when they get
Speaker 8: to that age to kind of get phased out.
Speaker 1: But you hit a certainly you were ripping into Messi
Speaker 1: for doing some Ovechkin like walking.
Speaker 8: Come on, man, watch the games by the way noon
Speaker 8: today and Boppe against Holland. Do you think unbelievable coming
Speaker 8: up today Norway and France.
Speaker 1: I could watch and just how those three players have
Speaker 1: come through and they've been playing so far. I don't
Speaker 1: know what is wat but all three of them been
Speaker 1: playing the same the same day and all they've combined
Speaker 1: for thirteen goals. Yea Messi, Holland and Boppe and it's
Speaker 1: just been spec spectacular. Despite your criticism these and this,
Speaker 1: despite that statue.
Speaker 8: The Norwegian fans, by the way, the rowing, that's cool.
Speaker 8: The Conducks have probably ripped that off in Rogers Arena.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the Vikings, but their excuse was the
Speaker 1: Sedines and the history of Swedish players in Vancouver come
Speaker 1: up with something. Yeah, you know, hey, having said that,
Speaker 1: every team in the NHL and around sports is ripped
Speaker 1: off the white towels, so that's a good point. That's
Speaker 1: a good point.
Speaker 8: Okay, more about the World Cup, because we got a
Speaker 8: World Cup reporter right far, and he's next he's got
Speaker 8: the World Cup talking about the lines as well.
Speaker 1: To say one other thing here, Yeah, Don Lever is
Speaker 1: a third overall pick by the Cannucks. Great. Great, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna throw Derek under the bus. He Derek was too
Speaker 1: busy getting that messy statue. Proto he missed the Lever
Speaker 1: not Don Lever was a was also a third overall.
Speaker 3: Captain for the Knucks, Captain John Lever, one of one
Speaker 3: of my favorite players growing up.
Speaker 1: Don Lever, he was great.
Speaker 8: All right, Fire and logy from TSN.
Speaker 1: Next is Donny. Hey everyone, it's Donnie Doney and we're

Speaker 1: the messy statue. No. Thanks all of our guests today,
Speaker 1: including Farhand Standing by brought to you by Able Auctions,
Speaker 1: our title sponsor, Ableauctions dot CAA World Cup reporter for TSN.
Speaker 1: He covers the Lions, he covers the Canucks, he covers everything.
Speaker 1: Farhand Lology joins us. Now, thanks for doing this, sir,
Speaker 1: How are you.
Speaker 5: I am good.
Speaker 9: You know, I heard the weather's not going to be
Speaker 9: great in Kolowna and I'm going to be going up there. Oh,
Speaker 9: I'm so down on that after the last couple of
Speaker 9: weeks this city, this province has had and just how
Speaker 9: well we've shown to the world during the World Cup. Like,
Speaker 9: I want to get up there and and have some
Speaker 9: good weather up in Colowna on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Okay, So we talked about it Luri in the show.
Speaker 1: But Lions in Calgary Saturday, Apple Bowl in Kelowna own
Speaker 1: two to start the Lions, what are the main issues
Speaker 1: for ahead?
Speaker 9: Well, receiving injuries, right, Like I you know, I think
Speaker 9: for me, I had huge concerns or questions about the
Speaker 9: Lions defensive secondary coming into the year, but I kind
Speaker 9: of knew what I was expecting.
Speaker 7: I thought the pass rush would be better.
Speaker 9: But I really felt that they were gonna have to
Speaker 9: win some high scoring games, right that this was not
Speaker 9: going to be a situation where you know, they could
Speaker 9: come in in weeks one and two and expect to
Speaker 9: win you know, twenty four to twenty, Like they were
Speaker 9: gonna have to win thirty five thirty two on the
Speaker 9: regular And so the offense hasn't been able to deliver
Speaker 9: on that end of it, and primarily because of the injuries.
Speaker 9: And you know, you even look at the games they play.
Speaker 9: They've been able to move the ball, they just haven't
Speaker 9: been able to finish, and they need to finish.
Speaker 7: Drives.
Speaker 9: Threes aren't going to cut it for this team given
Speaker 9: how bad the secondary is right now, and the defensive
Speaker 9: line also isn't kind of propping up the secondary and
Speaker 9: making them have to cover for less.
Speaker 7: So I think if they can get the offense going
Speaker 7: a bit this.
Speaker 9: Week, and it looks like Hatcher and mckinnis are both
Speaker 9: going to play, you know, if that happens, then then
Speaker 9: maybe they've got a chance to out score Calgary.
Speaker 1: What are the solutions on defense front?
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you know, I don't know what he can
Speaker 9: do right Like, look, their defensive line should be better,
Speaker 9: So they need to find a way to get pressure
Speaker 9: without having a blitz a bunch of people, because if
Speaker 9: they do that, they're going to really expose the guys
Speaker 9: in the back end.
Speaker 7: And in fairness, they've also played arguably the two most
Speaker 7: cerebral quarterbacks in the league right now, like not named
Speaker 7: Nathan Urke.
Speaker 9: Tremor Harris in week one, like he's got the answers
Speaker 9: to the test, right, Like it's playing better than he
Speaker 9: ever has. Believe I Mitchell is playing better than he
Speaker 9: ever has. Two guys that are in their late thirties,
Speaker 9: they've seen every picture that you can throw at them,
Speaker 9: so that becomes difficult, right, And so you know, we'll
Speaker 9: see how different it is with Vernon Adams, who certainly
Speaker 9: you know his processing abilities at a very high level
Speaker 9: as well. But so I don't know that there are
Speaker 9: easy answers defensively, because I think they've tried a lot
Speaker 9: of things that first week, even in the first.
Speaker 7: Half, they played a bunch of off coverage.
Speaker 9: They tried to protect their guys well, Trevor Harrischet the
Speaker 9: ball out real quick, so it.
Speaker 7: Became death by a thousand cuts.
Speaker 9: Then in the second half they blitz blitz blitzed, and
Speaker 9: then they got burned there. And then you go to
Speaker 9: Hamilton the following week and they got beat over the top.
Speaker 9: So you know, teams have found a way to beat
Speaker 9: them every way, every which way.
Speaker 7: They need to get more production out of the D line.
Speaker 9: They should expect that, or you should kind of expect
Speaker 9: the secondary to take some time. And then again, if
Speaker 9: you can match offensively, you can force teams to maybe
Speaker 9: do some different things, maybe run the ball, maybe try
Speaker 9: to find different ways to control the game. But the
Speaker 9: offense isn't matching. And honestly, part of that's coaching, because
Speaker 9: there were moments in that last game against Hamilton where
Speaker 9: Buck Pierce needed to be aggressive, but he settled for three.
Speaker 7: He needs to take some chances as well.
Speaker 3: All Right, speaking of chances, every team's gonna have a
Speaker 3: chance to select a future superstar at the NHL Draft
Speaker 3: in the first round.
Speaker 1: Anyways.
Speaker 3: Listen, that's the NHL Draft tonight. Connects the pix so
Speaker 3: proud right now, it's a call the segue. It's called
Speaker 3: a segue. That's what thirty seven years in the biz does.
Speaker 1: Segue?
Speaker 3: Uh farhand? Third overall, who are the Canucks taking?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 7: Well, you know what, I think it's gonna be key.
Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be probably Chase Reid, right, which
Speaker 9: which I'm not a fan of, just because I don't
Speaker 9: want him to take an American right. I just don't, Right,
Speaker 9: I don't want to. I don't want to have to
Speaker 9: live that thing again. And I do think that that's
Speaker 9: a factor. I believe that the moves that San Jose
Speaker 9: made this week, I think there was a real chance.
Speaker 7: They weren't going to take Stenburg.
Speaker 9: But now because of the moves they've made in the
Speaker 9: way they've been able to address their back end, they
Speaker 9: are going to take Stenberg. And if they do, then
Speaker 9: it becomes Caleb Malhocher or one of the defensemen, and
Speaker 9: most people have read regarded a little higher. And you know,
Speaker 9: I think there's less momentum around the Canucks taking Melhocher.
Speaker 9: You probably know that is better than anybody, right, I mean,
Speaker 9: a couple of weeks ago, we thought this was going
Speaker 9: to be the pick. I think that's less likely now.
Speaker 9: But you know, although it certainly is more of a
Speaker 9: positional need, and you know, it does make some sense
Speaker 9: to do that, but I think they've got re rated
Speaker 9: ahead of Verhoff, even though Verhoff's a little bit bigger.
Speaker 9: I would take Verhoff. And it was interesting though, listening
Speaker 9: to Ryan Johnson. He did talk about the fact that
Speaker 9: they are having discussions internally about the American factor, right,
Speaker 9: and whether or not, like, I don't think they're necessarily
Speaker 9: going to make that the deciding factory yet, but I
Speaker 9: think it's on the table, and for me, it would
Speaker 9: absolutely be on the table in my mind, unless you
Speaker 9: have a generational talent like a Connor McDavid Celebrini type
Speaker 9: guy that's so far ahead of the number two pick.
Speaker 9: I just wouldn't take an American in the first round,
Speaker 9: or at least in the top ten where you're risking
Speaker 9: a high like a player like that. That's not going
Speaker 9: to be part of the rebuild when it gets to
Speaker 9: the end.
Speaker 3: All right, soccer, You've been covering all the great soccer
Speaker 3: games in Vancouver. The big one now is in La
Speaker 3: for Canada on Sunday. Just a great feel an atmosphere
Speaker 3: around Vancouver the last week and a half.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it really has been.
Speaker 9: And I know it kind of came to a bit
Speaker 9: of a thud when they lost that game to Switzerland,
Speaker 9: but look, there's still three more games.
Speaker 7: You're sorry, there's four more games here.
Speaker 9: They've got a game tonight which I'm going to be
Speaker 9: at Belgium and New Zealand, and then they've got to
Speaker 9: the round of thirty two and the round.
Speaker 7: Of sixteen games. Right. So one of the things that
Speaker 7: has shown really well is in the two.
Speaker 9: Non Canadian games that we've seen already. The scenes in Vancouver,
Speaker 9: the marches to the match from Granville Street and things
Speaker 9: like that have been magnificent.
Speaker 7: Those countries have showed up.
Speaker 9: And shown out, and I hope that happens again tonight,
Speaker 9: despite you know, it not being necessarily as good a
Speaker 9: weather day as what we've had in the early stages
Speaker 9: of the tournament. So I still want to see that
Speaker 9: celebration because the city's done so well. Even though you know,
Speaker 9: you go to the Olympics and there was a build
Speaker 9: up to the final game when it was Canada right
Speaker 9: in twenty ten playing in that golden medal hockey game.
Speaker 9: We're not going to get that now, and Canada's still
Speaker 9: playing four now elsewhere, so our attension is going to
Speaker 9: be diverted a little bit. But I think if you're
Speaker 9: a Belgium fan, a New Zealand fan, a fan of
Speaker 9: the World Cup that's here, I hope they show up,
Speaker 9: and I hope the atmosphere is still going to be
Speaker 9: as good as what we've seen throughout the tournament. And
Speaker 9: then I'm curious to see what it's going to look
Speaker 9: like in La on Sunday, because you know, if you
Speaker 9: look at Team Canada, they should be favored against South Africa.
Speaker 9: You know, I don't know that South Africa is necessarily
Speaker 9: going to travel well is let's say, if they had
Speaker 9: to play South Korea, so well, you know, how many
Speaker 9: Canadians are going to make the trip down, how many
Speaker 9: Canadian expats are they're living in southern California, they'll just
Speaker 9: make the trip over. But hopefully, you know, hopefully we
Speaker 9: see moist Bombido and Alfonso Davies get into the lineup
Speaker 9: because Canada needs that shot in the arm in the
Speaker 9: round of thirty two.
Speaker 1: Are you joining us next week? Yeah?
Speaker 7: I am Yeah, Why wouldn't I?
Speaker 1: Well, I just we were thinking about using you as
Speaker 1: a decoy. Yeah, good call.
Speaker 9: But you know, like Bayern Munich is not in the
Speaker 9: background saying that kid's not gonna play.
Speaker 1: You think that's me? Do you think that's what's happening
Speaker 1: with Jesse Maris Alfonso Davies.
Speaker 7: I think that's part of it.
Speaker 9: I don't think they're ever going to admit to it,
Speaker 9: but I do think that that is part of the
Speaker 9: consideration for why they've been incredibly cautious and conservative with Alfonso.
Speaker 1: Davis's not a good look for Byron Munich if.
Speaker 9: You know, look, you think Barron Munich gives a damn
Speaker 9: about the Canadian national team, right Like if this is Germany,
Speaker 9: if this is the German national team or or one
Speaker 9: of those powers, you probably take it a little more seriously.
Speaker 7: But it's Canada.
Speaker 9: Like, if you're Barron Munich, you don't think Canada's coming
Speaker 9: close to the final eight of the World Cup. Let
Speaker 9: you know, so you probably think, yeah, Ponzi, sorry you
Speaker 9: didn't get to play in your own country, but this.
Speaker 7: Isn't important because you're not.
Speaker 1: But that's a big deal.
Speaker 7: I would think so. And to be truth, well, I
Speaker 7: think it would have been a big deal for him.
Speaker 9: To play in Vancouver, specifically right where he's played previously
Speaker 9: with the white Caps, but ultimately that's not going to happen.
Speaker 9: And I think I think just playing tomorrow or playing
Speaker 9: on Sunday would be a big deal for him and
Speaker 9: it would certainly be a big deal for Canada.
Speaker 7: So hopefully it happens.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, Baron. Thanks for doing this and we
Speaker 1: will talk to you next week, our final week before me.
Speaker 9: Before you guys take your extended vacation.
Speaker 7: Yeah, well enough, did you're on four day work weeks.
Speaker 1: Donnie. Yes, yeah, you'll be there soon, buddy.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've seen your first She doesn't wait. I can't wait.

Speaker 1: parked his car and just from the side of the
Speaker 1: highway there. I guess she's on his Was he on
Speaker 1: his way up to Klona? No, just just doing errands
Speaker 1: around the home he's in.
Speaker 8: He told me he's in alder Grove had a stable
Speaker 8: at the moment.
Speaker 1: Stable.
Speaker 8: I believe his daughter's got a horse riding.
Speaker 1: She does, she's got horse riding, or she has a horse.
Speaker 8: I think it's just this guy making horse riding, that's all.
Speaker 1: That's where he's used to own a horse. To stop.
Speaker 1: I have never dealt with horses. I would pay a
Speaker 1: lot of money to see you on a horse.
Speaker 3: It happened once, I do think, once, many many moons ago.
Speaker 1: Have you never been on a horse? I have. When
Speaker 1: you go in there, you know, you know you rent
Speaker 1: a horse for a few hours and with a guide.
Speaker 8: No, no, no, I've never even been on one of
Speaker 8: the It's scary.
Speaker 1: It's scary in a bar one of the mechanical horses
Speaker 1: avolan bars. That would be something. It's a bull in
Speaker 1: the bars, not a horse. Have you been on a
Speaker 1: one of those?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: God, no, why Actually they used to have like mechanical
Speaker 1: horses or ponies like in the supermarket. Yeah, I'm sure
Speaker 1: as a young child, I was not.
Speaker 3: You know Rick Road with last week listen when we
Speaker 3: were at the Great Cup in ninety nine we at
Speaker 3: that cowboy bar we were in there was one in there, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we didn't do it, remember much.
Speaker 1: Yeah, was Majonovitch there? No, because that roosters used to.
Speaker 8: Have topless bull what they used to have topless bull
Speaker 8: riding roosters.
Speaker 1: How do you know the country bar roster that was
Speaker 1: my era. Yeah, it's closed. That's a supermarket for guys.
Speaker 8: Anybody that would like to part partict And I look
Speaker 8: at the guys obviously stupid.
Speaker 1: Why not?
Speaker 8: I can say this even about myself. The people that do.
Speaker 1: That shouldn't be doing it. Yeah. It's like like wreck Beach. Yeah, yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm in an aging hour. I'd be in that category. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Actually it was a long time. That's Taylor doing Yeah, okay,

Speaker 1: Also excited about that. With Canada games shown live and
Speaker 1: loud on all twenty two TVs with full sound, come
Speaker 1: sit and stay at the Wadling Dog today, Lions in Colonna.
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. Oh, but let's focus on
Speaker 1: the banker of a connection. What's going to happen at
Speaker 1: the draft and the wadling dog pole question? Wreck right,
Speaker 1: get her up? The waterling dog pop pole question.
Speaker 3: Assuming McKenna and Stenberg gone at one two, who should
Speaker 3: the Cannucks take third? And leading the way is Chase
Speaker 3: Read the big defenseman out of the Sioux Fort, followed
Speaker 3: by Kayla Mahultra, who third is video Bureau not far
Speaker 3: behind Kyla Mahulter both their centers, and then Carson Carrel's
Speaker 3: at the Prince George defenseman at the end.
Speaker 1: Thomas drants on our show in our first hour, big
Speaker 1: fan of Vigo York, he'd be okay with that third overall.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and he's good. No, Donny, Donny, Donny, this
Speaker 3: guy's not very big, big vigeo b York. He's good.
Speaker 3: Zach Benson. No, he had on the show exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: And and the Canucks are passed up on too much
Speaker 3: size or small guys. Stan Covin, they took you know who,
Speaker 3: Cold Cofield, the cold Colfield, No Coffield. They picked put
Speaker 3: the polls instead of exactly, and they took them over
Speaker 3: you And.
Speaker 1: I pointed that out and you guys made fun of me.
Speaker 3: Now you were right in hindsight, you were right. Quit
Speaker 3: passing up on small guys in round one.
Speaker 1: What it was it, Brendan Gallagher said to us earlier
Speaker 1: in the week, The league has changed, right early twenty tens,
Speaker 1: he enters, the league was much more physical. That was
Speaker 1: much more physical way before that, obviously in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties. And he's says it's changed where somebody of
Speaker 1: his size, of Zach Manson's size can excel. Clearly the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Sabers think so when it comes to comes to
Speaker 1: Zach Benson. Okay, So getting ready for the draft. The
Speaker 1: Canucks picking third overall, will see what happens with the
Speaker 1: Leafs and the Sharks. And I think before this past
Speaker 1: week and all that trade activity, you felt fairly confident,
Speaker 1: or at least it was a pretty good possibility the
Speaker 1: Sharks were going to take a defense but probably Chase Red.
Speaker 1: But now they've got that ninth overall pick, and the
Speaker 1: word is they're going to go for Stanberg at number
Speaker 1: two after Mechanical's number one to the Leafs and they'll
Speaker 1: pick a defenseman, maybe Daxon Rudolph of the Prince Albert
Speaker 1: Raiders at number nine, so that you would think would
Speaker 1: leave Caleb mahultra for the Canucks or maybe another defenseman
Speaker 1: like Carson Carls. Meanwhile, other news surrounding the Canucks they
Speaker 1: have a new or it's rumored that they're being reported
Speaker 1: that they have an ass to coach for many Will
Speaker 1: Holter at least one at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the American Hockey League coach Ryan Muganel he's going
Speaker 3: to join this guy right here, musing L mousing Ow. So,
Speaker 3: Ryan Mousin, I'll tell you this guy right sure, okay,
Speaker 3: but he was just named the American Hockey League Coach
Speaker 3: of the Year in Providence, the Boston Bruins farm team.
Speaker 3: So he's going to come and join Manny. Uh So,
Speaker 3: we're looking for Manny. So that's Manny's first hire. But
Speaker 3: he's going to get an experienced guy. We got rookie presidents,
Speaker 3: we got rookie GMS, we got rookie assistant gms, we
Speaker 3: got rookie assistant coaches, and a rookie coach.
Speaker 1: How to go with the Jim Rutherford's experience.
Speaker 3: Well, don are you kidding me? This is all over again.
Speaker 3: Benning Lyndon and Willie d remember all rookies.
Speaker 1: Patrick Elvian was a rookie. Yeah, Patrick Elvian was a rookie.
Speaker 3: So if he was, indeed, let's see, let's let's give
Speaker 3: Manny some time. Let's see if he adds a veteran.
Speaker 1: This is a Canadian kid from Scarborough career minor leaguer
Speaker 1: as a player and a coach. And I don't mind
Speaker 1: this because every everything that they're going heavy on people
Speaker 1: from the American Hockey League and what is American Hockey League?
Speaker 1: Focus on development. That's where the Canucks are at. I'm
Speaker 1: rafting to develop, draft and develop, and time will tell,
Speaker 1: you know. We gotta wait.
Speaker 3: But it looks like a good hire for many and
Speaker 3: then let's see if he adds any veteran NHL coaches.
Speaker 1: Coaching experience, goaltending coach.
Speaker 3: Look looks like the Canucks have extended Marco Tronius Donnie.
Speaker 3: That's a new deal. I think maybe one one year,
Speaker 3: but I think he's going to be back. I think
Speaker 3: they did that in June. So there you go. The
Speaker 3: goalie coach Marco.
Speaker 1: And Thatcher Damco earlier this week hitting the ice for
Speaker 1: the first time in a long time, and he's one
Speaker 1: of the few Vancouver players hanging around in Vancouver. Curtis Douglas. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: Ryan Johnson said that he's not keeping any of his UFAs. Okay,
Speaker 1: So Teddy blueger A gone. Helped me out there, Garrick
Speaker 1: FORBN Jane Douglas. So what about another tough guy that
Speaker 1: might take the place of Curtis Douglas even though Curtis
Speaker 1: Douglas was here for a couple of tea, quick cup
Speaker 1: of tea.
Speaker 3: Let me say this on Douglas. Good Canadian kid, by
Speaker 3: the way, and there we go again.
Speaker 1: Canucks.
Speaker 3: Let another Canadian tough guy go. Now they're down to one. Ryan,
Speaker 3: don't shake your head those in l's Canadian Eh. Then
Speaker 3: he coach just Stoppedne Douglas love Vancouver wanted to come back.
Speaker 3: The Canucks made no formal offer to Douglas to come back.
Speaker 3: This tells me the Canucks have their eyes on either
Speaker 3: a UFA tough guy or a guy in the trade.
Speaker 3: Don't expect the Canucks to spend big bucks on that role.
Speaker 3: Most likely under a million dollars. Canucks will have interesting
Speaker 3: players like docs forward Jeffrey Vielle. If he becomes a
Speaker 3: UFA on July first. This is a player that Ryan
Speaker 3: Johnson has seen a lot in the miners in the
Speaker 3: American League. Six fourteen pounds, seventeen goals in Manitoba a couple.
Speaker 1: Of years ago.
Speaker 3: These are the type of guys that Canucks will go
Speaker 3: after to replace Douglas. Remember what we talked about. If
Speaker 3: you're gonna be a tough guy in the NHL today,
Speaker 3: you got to play every day. You got to give
Speaker 3: ten to fourteen minutes. You got to play in the
Speaker 3: third period, you gotta play in close games. I don't
Speaker 3: think the Canucks stock Curtis could do that because obviously
Speaker 3: there was games where skating was an issue. Skating was
Speaker 3: an issue. There were games where Adam Foot played Curtis
Speaker 3: Douglas six minutes, six minutes on the thirty second place
Speaker 3: team in the NHL. That's not good. So anyways, good
Speaker 3: guy Curtis Douglas, he's gonna find something on July first,
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that much right now. But another good
Speaker 3: Canadian kid leaving the Canucks.
Speaker 1: You got some business, some new business of ours from
Speaker 1: a new client. Absolutely, look at this, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: A new era is underway and OURBC is proud to
Speaker 3: be the newest partner at your Vancouver Canucks e as
Speaker 3: we write this next chapter. Starting next season, RBC clients
Speaker 3: will get exclusive access to private entrances, in game perks,
Speaker 3: and enhanced experiences at all home games, bringing you closer
Speaker 3: to the Canucks experien he says you love the most.
Speaker 3: Stay tuned for more details of that ahead of the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven home opener, probably presented
Speaker 3: by RBC. Your ideas happened here at r b C.
Speaker 1: The blue and gold RBC patch on the Canucks uniforms Now,
Speaker 1: before we get to some more business, what about the situation?
Speaker 1: And I almost feel bad for them because I want
Speaker 1: this to be a heated rivalry. I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: Seattle Cracketts. They offer Jason Robinson Robertson fifteen fifteen million
Speaker 1: dollars a year over eight years, you know, working out
Speaker 1: of trade. He's going to be an RFA working out
Speaker 1: of trade with the Dallas Stars. And Jason Robinson says no.
Speaker 1: And he's the same thing with Saint Louis, by the way,
Speaker 1: but he said no to the Seattle Kraken who went
Speaker 1: hot and heavy after a Tammy pineraen same thing he
Speaker 1: told them. He told them no. And look, Seattle is
Speaker 1: one of these no low tax states. So it's not
Speaker 1: all about taxes like people's aclate. It's about it's about
Speaker 1: the chance to win. I would have to win.
Speaker 3: Players right now want to play in Los Angeles, Florida,
Speaker 3: Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Los Angeles is.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's where Paneren went. He forced to trade La.
Speaker 3: They love the beaches. Are you kidding me? Don you
Speaker 3: go to La? You walk walk around the beaches. What's
Speaker 3: that Newport Beach? Are you kidding me? Anyways, the really
Speaker 3: really good players Venice Beach, Yeah, Venice, Muscle Beach. Oh,
Speaker 3: beautiful Millington hangs out there where pipes. Anyways, that's where
Speaker 3: the good players want to go, where they have a
Speaker 3: chance to win. They don't want to go to Seattle.
Speaker 3: I feel for Seattle right now.
Speaker 1: Saddle's a beautiful city.
Speaker 3: That they're not winning. It's a bland organization right now.
Speaker 3: The top players are saying no to Seattle.
Speaker 1: Fifteen million a year.
Speaker 3: And he said no, one hundred and twenty million.
Speaker 1: Don Jason Robertson is would he be a franchise changer
Speaker 1: for the.
Speaker 3: I think, I think so. I mean, he's a good player,
Speaker 3: but he's also a winger. You want to invest one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty into one hundred twenty million in a winger,
Speaker 3: I'd rather invested in the center.
Speaker 1: Whereas the big deals made when he wasn't named to
Speaker 1: the American Olympic teams, everything worked out. More business and
Speaker 1: then we'll throw to break. So you want you're busy,
Speaker 1: you want more business. That's what the that's what they're
Speaker 1: rundown say, Okay, here we go. Look at this.

Speaker 1: of activity in the bayside inbox and people are pointing
Speaker 1: this out and my knowledge of Washington State politics sorry
Speaker 1: not that great, but it is getting reportedly a millionaire
Speaker 1: tax nine point nine few years, he thinks this person
Speaker 1: he or she thinks is going to be around nine.
Speaker 1: So put that into your pipe and smoke it. What's
Speaker 1: in front of the laptop. It's not done yet though.
Speaker 8: I think there's still a vote that has to take
Speaker 8: place on that tax, so it's not a foregone conclusion.
Speaker 1: But like a lot of people were pointing.
Speaker 8: Up yesterday before, like incorrectly, because Washington State has been
Speaker 8: a no tax state. That kind of puts a massive
Speaker 8: hole in that argument, right, because everybody makes this big
Speaker 8: deal about Florida being no tax, well so is Washington State.
Speaker 8: And a player said no, I think it's more important
Speaker 8: than the team's good. And then the no tax.
Speaker 1: Things a bonus. Yeah, and Peneren wanted to go to
Speaker 1: La He did want to go to wife's and actresses. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Businesses winning and losing taxes laptop.
Speaker 8: Front of laptop quickly early Holland pop figuring. Apparently he's
Speaker 8: not starting for Norway because I think that I think
Speaker 8: that things are set so they don't need to win.
Speaker 8: Does seem good, Well, it's it's it's still the group stage.
Speaker 8: You gonna remember, it's not a do or die game,

Speaker 1: gonna let me forget that. I'm telling you I'm gonna

Speaker 3: twenty seven home opener, proudly presented by RBC. Your ideas
Speaker 3: happened here at RBC.
Speaker 1: Is just me, brought to you by OPEIC Outdoor Power
Speaker 1: Equipment Institute of Canada. Did you know you can recycle
Speaker 1: electric lawn and garden equipment for free here? Oh p
Speaker 1: e i SEE operates a province wide network of recycling
Speaker 1: depots to ensure old electric outdoor power equipment gets collected
Speaker 1: and recycled responsibly. Visit opeice dot Ca to get more info.
Speaker 1: That's oh peice dot C. A Paul and Cannibell River.
Speaker 1: Is it just me? You mentioned great Kannuck. Well, if
Speaker 1: it's great, but great Cannuck third overall picks through the years.
Speaker 1: What about great Connuck twenty fourth overall picks through the years.
Speaker 1: You know what? I've got that right in front of me.
Speaker 1: You might even have this graphic here, Derek Cannucks twenty
Speaker 1: fourth overall picks. Jared McCann twenty fourteen. He didn't last
Speaker 1: long here and he's gone on to a stellar NHL career.
Speaker 1: Hunterson Kerrick at twenty thirteen, when they had Beauhorvet, when
Speaker 1: they drafted Bouhorvett earlier in the draft, and Rob Murphy
Speaker 1: going way back to nineteen eighty seven. So there you go,
Speaker 1: There you go. Knnuck's picking third and twenty fourth today.
Speaker 1: What do you got for? Is it just me? All right?
Speaker 1: I got this? Is it just me?
Speaker 3: But if we trade Jake debrask, Curtis Douglas and Evander
Speaker 3: Kainer gone, we have exactly zero Canadians. Zero makes me
Speaker 3: makes me as a Canadian sick to my stomach. The Canucks,
Speaker 3: do you have one Canadian left? Jake debrsk down if
Speaker 3: they trade Debraska here Joseph.
Speaker 1: Peer Olivia Joseph. If here Olivia Joseph, they do he
Speaker 1: was in no country for old man. Okay, amirate? Is
Speaker 1: it just me or is your concern level risen? After
Speaker 1: listening to r J speak yesterday, it seems like these
Speaker 1: guys don't have it to make tough decisions. He comes
Speaker 1: across very measured, oh, soft spoken, thoughtful. That doesn't mean
Speaker 1: they can't make a tough decisions very early. This guy,
Speaker 1: this guy is just a negative nanny.
Speaker 3: You're not an am No what the guys. I know
Speaker 3: he's a part of those cliki idiots on Twitter. But anyways, listen.
Speaker 3: He gives you clarity. He gives you clar every time
Speaker 3: you listen to Ryan Johnson, whether you like it or not,
Speaker 3: he gives you clarity. You go away from there thinking, Okay,
Speaker 3: I think I know what the Canucks are doing. That
Speaker 3: wasn't the case in the last two years.
Speaker 1: He said yesterday that he doesn't want to come back
Speaker 1: with the same roster. Yeah, and he doesn't. But also
Speaker 1: easier said than done. But that's what he said. The
Speaker 1: Canucks have seven no moves, so are you gonna sit
Speaker 1: seven guys down? That's not his fault.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's not his fault. But he's got seven no
Speaker 3: moves and people want fifteen trades by Saturday. Like, seven
Speaker 3: no moves is a significant number.
Speaker 1: RP and White Rock. Sorry, Rick, but is it just me?
Speaker 1: I still see a trade between the Canucks with third
Speaker 1: and maybe twenty fourth of Saint Louis for eleventh, fifteenth,
Speaker 1: and sixteenth since both teams have been quiet so far.
Speaker 1: I bring this up because Craig Button reworked his mock
Speaker 1: draft because of all the trades that have been made.
Speaker 1: He reworked his mock draft from earlier in the week,
Speaker 1: and he has the Blues taking the Rucks back to back, fifth, teen, sixteenth.
Speaker 1: I believe yes, so they would be together in Saint Louis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because earlier he had the Canucks taking them later in
Speaker 1: the in the later in the draft.
Speaker 3: Let's see what happens to the Rucks. It might be today,
Speaker 3: it might be tomorrow, we don't know. It could be
Speaker 3: early second round. Joe from Kelowna, Is it just me?
Speaker 3: Or are the Lions not that good? Glad they're coming
Speaker 3: to clone up. But listen to you guys, and had
Speaker 3: first pick on our Great Cup draft, took the Lions. Look,
Speaker 3: Lions have been atrocious defensively first two weeks, Donnie, it's
Speaker 3: it's the d line is very disappointing. They faced two
Speaker 3: of the premier quarterbacks and got zero pass rush.
Speaker 1: Like what are you doing? Like I can't.
Speaker 3: Remember one time bold le By Mitchell was on the
Speaker 3: run last week in Hamilton like the d Lins gotta
Speaker 3: they got to wake up, get pressure on.
Speaker 1: The quarterback and ebonton Elex now three and oh they
Speaker 1: want to pick last night? Is it just me? Ryan?
Speaker 1: This is for you from Rob and Slave Lake. Oh
Speaker 1: he's currently in Parksville for the weekend. By the way,
Speaker 1: thanks for the update, Rob, Is it just me? But
Speaker 1: don keep him coming? Love the old beer League stories?
Speaker 1: There you go, Ryan, I you know I it's too
Speaker 1: bad you don't have any. But don't put us down
Speaker 1: because we have some good Beer League stories. Is thatctly
Speaker 1: related to you? No?
Speaker 3: No, But and I'll tell you something else, Donnie. And
Speaker 3: I know where Slave Lake is. I've been there, just
Speaker 3: outside of Edmonton. You can book it, you can google it.
Speaker 3: Because you're shaking your head, but I'm.
Speaker 1: Not shaking my head.
Speaker 3: It's outside of Edmonton, Slave Lake. I've been there. It's
Speaker 3: a beautiful little area. So anyways, Donnie and I know
Speaker 3: where Slave Lake is because we paid our dues in
Speaker 3: northern BC and Northern Alberta many moons ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Sure. Meanwhile, he's complaining with the rain today because it's
Speaker 8: slightly chilly.
Speaker 1: It's the end of June. Why the hell is there? Well,
Speaker 1: you can't, but you'll complain about the weather this month

Speaker 1: days of thirty three degree Uh Jack, no, put that
Speaker 1: out of your pipe. Oh because I get the tap
Speaker 1: top out and I love it. What do we do now? Okay?
Speaker 1: Speaking of videos, Uh a break? Wrap up the show
Speaker 1: in the poll question next, Donney del I have the
Speaker 1: team on check. Remember that dead electric leaf blower in
Speaker 1: the garage, still hoping it'll come back to life.
Speaker 3: Ope, I see is BC's recycling program for battery powered
Speaker 3: and electric outdoor power equipment just.
Speaker 1: Like other electronics, electric lawn and garden equipment can also
Speaker 1: be recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life.
Speaker 3: Old electric yard tools don't have to end up in
Speaker 3: the landfill.
Speaker 1: If you're electric.
Speaker 3: Outdoor power equipment can't be fixed, it could be recycled.
Speaker 1: Whether it's a leaf blower, trimmer, or lawnmower. Many can
Speaker 1: be recycled for free in BC. Is it ope I
Speaker 1: see dot CA to find a depot near you and
Speaker 1: recycle responsibly. That's ope I see dot CA was just
Speaker 1: ahead of the wattling dog up poll question. Update again,
Speaker 1: we continue our campaign to get Born to be Alive
Speaker 1: played on a regular basis at Rodgers Arena during Canuck
Speaker 1: Games or Warrior games whatever franchise. Car Are you listening

Speaker 3: and then Vigio b. York And at the bottom is
Speaker 3: Carson Krell good Canadian kid, Carson Krels.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And again the operative word here is should. So
Speaker 1: people saying that should take Chase Reed American defenseman. They're
Speaker 1: already strong on defense. Do they want another American defenseman?
Speaker 1: A lot of questions there, Okay, pictures before we get
Speaker 1: to pictures. Are you doing the little cross pitcher? We
Speaker 1: can do the cross pitcher. But we got a hello
Speaker 1: to the Richardson family. Oh yes, very much involved with
