I say that the winner of the draft 8 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:29.839 lottery should be the winner of a two man loose. 9 00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:32.640 And Rick Dolly wall I had a cherry tree up 10 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.439 a little Ricky. I used to go up that tree 11 00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:36.960 and just sit there for hours and munch on those cherry. 12 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:41.479 Years Donnie and Dolly. 13 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:43.960 Ten o'clock in downtown Vancouver and brother Paul Carson's studio. 14 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.439 Thanks for tuning in, folks. It's Donnie and Dolly the 15 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.520 team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick Dolly Wall 16 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.840 Right Henderson is our producer. He's the man at the 17 00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:57.479 controls or director of the Voice of God is Derek One. 18 00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.520 How are you lovely? Couldn't be better? 19 00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:02.079 In the national Honkken tag over the weekend. I don't 20 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.400 know if you're aware of this, but wow, Brady Kachuk 21 00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.439 is going to join his brother Matthew in Florida for 22 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:13.719 four Draft picks, including the ninth and twenty fifth overall 23 00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:19.280 picks at Friday's draft, also a second rounder and in 24 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.680 twenty twenty seven, first rounder in twenty twenty nine. That 25 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.840 is top ten protect now as we speak, or at 26 00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.120 least it was scheduled to be as we speak. But 27 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.159 around ten o'clock our time, Ottawa GM Steve STOs, the 28 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:39.519 former Kduck defenseman, talking to the media. So we hope 29 00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:43.359 to get a clip or two or some information on 30 00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.159 the Brady Kachuck trade from Steve Staos in the next 31 00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.400 couple of hours. We hope at least just your thoughts 32 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.120 on this trade and Florida very very aggressive. They reunite 33 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.040 the Kachuck brothers, or unite the Kentuck brothers. They haven't 34 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:02.200 played at the NHL level, and maybe what it means 35 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.680 for the Canucks going for it. I have a few 36 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:05.640 thoughts on that, okay. 37 00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.000 First of all, Kajak said after the season, I'm fully 38 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.360 committed to the Sins. I'm fully committed to the city. 39 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:12.039 He says, Oh, this is all a di draft. 40 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.319 We've got that clip, okay. 41 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:16.120 But here's the problem, Donny, So now you have a 42 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.919 few weeks later, you get the ball rolling. He met 43 00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:22.159 with Steos in New Jersey last month setting the foundation 44 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:27.159 gaving four teams. This is scary for Canadian teams because 45 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.039 the Kachuk brothers, Quinn Hughes. What's the point of drafting 46 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.439 these guys. But they're not leaving at the draft or 47 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.639 the year after the draft. They're leaving two or three 48 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.360 contracts later. People need to realize this isn't a draft thing. 49 00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.680 They're leaving five, six, seven, eight years later. It's really bad. 50 00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.680 So okay, but done done. But don't say don't draft 51 00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.199 Americans high. We're not worried about Americans being drafted in 52 00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.879 round six and seven. Don't draft Americans if you're a 53 00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.919 Canadian city high because these guys are leaving six, seven, eight. 54 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.840 This looks like a US Olympic thing. Hella buck Larkin. 55 00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:07.240 All these guys, now Kuchuck, they're all asking to be out. 56 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:08.039 I don't know if. 57 00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.439 It's a like the NBA. They're getting other guys to recruit. 58 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.280 Wrensky might be on the move. They're getting buddies to 59 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:15.240 recruit buddies. 60 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.000 I don't know this is really brothers in this case. 61 00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:18.960 Brothers in this case. 62 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.599 But I mean, but it's a question that has to 63 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.039 be asked. Yes, if you don't want, let's run this 64 00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.919 Brady Kuchuk clip from back in April, late April. This 65 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:31.759 is Brady Kuchuk who got the clip right there. This 66 00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.960 is Brady Kuchuk, captain of the Ottawa Senators, the leader 67 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.879 of the Ottawa Senators, and this is after they were 68 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.400 eliminated by the Carolina Hurricanes round one of the playoffs. 69 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:47.719 And this is Brady who was wasn't part of the 70 00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.800 locker room clean out because of the birth of a child. Yes, 71 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.960 So later on he met with the media and talked 72 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.840 about how he was tired about all the speculation about 73 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.199 him leaving Ottawa, like. 74 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.199 I've answered this hundreds of times that none of that 75 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.919 I feel like I've never shown, I've never said, none 76 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:10.719 of those things ever came out of my mouth. And 77 00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:15.039 quite honestly, it's just getting frustrated. It's become a distraction, 78 00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.879 and because I've I have been fully committed to this team, 79 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:25.680 to the city, and it's just becoming a distraction, frustrating. 80 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.199 To deal with. Wow, and then a few weeks later, 81 00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:30.759 get me out of here. 82 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:36.920 It sounds like he lieded. So there's look he's going 83 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.439 to Florida to join Matthew kuld Chuck. And what did 84 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.600 Matthew could Chuck do in twenty twenty three? He bolted 85 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:48.720 Calgary right, and the players are more and more are 86 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.639 running the league, or at least seemed to be in 87 00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.079 charge of player movement, which of course is you think 88 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.680 about it. It's their right to do. But you could 89 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.959 go back to, you know, Johnny Goudrou god rest his soul. 90 00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.000 Uh left Calgary for Columbus. What's gonna happen with Austin Matthews? 91 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:08.600 You mentioned, Uh, you mentioned Connor Hellibuk, who recently committed 92 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.680 himself to Winnipeg. Now there's all you he wants out, sure, 93 00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.199 I mean, and and a lot of it is because 94 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.360 because you don't hear this out of Montreal, no, you know, 95 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:20.759 like because they're winning and they've got this great future 96 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.120 and of course that tradition and how tremendous it is 97 00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.920 to play in Montreal. 98 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:27.879 But I don't want to. 99 00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.360 Make the playoffs the last two years exactly, and they're 100 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.000 they're they're a solid young team. And now now this happens, 101 00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.000 and good on Steve Stales. I think it's smart to 102 00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.360 make this move now because of his He's making eight 103 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:45.680 million dollars a year. You know, by today's NHL standards, 104 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.040 eight million is a pretty good deal for bradycheck. So 105 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:50.120 he's got a couple of years left in his contract. 106 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:53.199 It's a smart move to do it now versus when 107 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.439 you're more desperate and you're not going to you're not 108 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.120 going to get as much. But look, it's something you 109 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.680 have to think about. I mean, Chase read is. We 110 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:06.720 have Chris Peters coming on from Flow Hockey scouting guru 111 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:10.399 looking ahead to Friday's draft. He's got Chase Reid, I 112 00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.600 believe at number three where the Canucks draft. 113 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.319 Canucks have them high. Yeah, Cannucks have him as their 114 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.319 number one raided defense. 115 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.279 This is Chase Reid at number three or the Canucks draft? 116 00:06:21.959 --> 00:06:23.959 Do you not? Do you not have to at least 117 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.319 think about it. I don't care four or five years 118 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.040 down the road, down the road you don't want you 119 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:31.399 wanted this to happen with, like Quinn Hughes again, like no, 120 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.480 like im sorry, you have to think about it. At 121 00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.399 least you have to be very very sure you've got that. 122 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:41.160 And it's not so much even an American thing, as 123 00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:45.959 an American player and what's his character? Like, you know, 124 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:48.279 can you can you be sure of that at that age? 125 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:50.680 I'm not. I'm not so sure, but I think you 126 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:52.800 have to investigate it more than maybe you would in 127 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.920 the past. I don't have anything wrong. 128 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.959 With that, but I will say to you, Dempko, Garland, Besser, 129 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.800 Miller all signed extensive long term deals in Vancouver when 130 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:03.279 they could. 131 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.560 Have hit the London Miller now stop, but why stop? 132 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.839 They're looking at UFA battest and they said, we want 133 00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.519 to sign brock Besser signed in Vancouver for seven years 134 00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.480 on July first year. 135 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:18.279 The exception up here, he had all the opportunity to 136 00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:20.720 defend these guys on one out exactly. 137 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.480 There are some Americans that love playing in Canada. Brock 138 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.600 Besser's won July first. He could have signed in San Jose, 139 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:29.399 he could have signed multiple cities. 140 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.439 He said, Nope, you disagree with me that you shouldn't like, 141 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.560 go out of your way. You know, vet these players 142 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.839 as much as much as possible to make sure they 143 00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.279 want to stick around in Canada, that they have the 144 00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:43.759 character to go through a rebuilding process, because these guys 145 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.839 they can't they they can't have they couldn't handle that. 146 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.399 They want out and and and you know, look and 147 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.079 again it's their right right to do that. But just 148 00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.040 thinking of your customers and your fans and the other 149 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:57.720 players on the team, you got to make sure you 150 00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.920 got the right guys if you can. 151 00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:00.079 Drive, absolutely, you know. 152 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.920 But look at Mitch Marner, a Canadian bolt at his hometown. 153 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.000 It happens. It's happening everywhere, don It's sadly dude. 154 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:07.800 So you you're. 155 00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:10.439 Okay with That's okay? What did I'm telling you? There 156 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.720 are some Americans that love playing in Canada. Some don't 157 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.319 you mentioned Montreal, Lane, Hudson, co Coffield America. 158 00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:20.120 I just said that's that. Look that I think it's 159 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.639 more about winning than it is about nationality, to be 160 00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.079 honest with you. But you know that in some cases, look, 161 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:30.879 Americans are the only nationality in the National Hockey League 162 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.799 who have the option of playing for a team in 163 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.840 their home country. Yes, right, Swedes, Russians check that, that's 164 00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:41.320 that's not the case with them. So I understand it 165 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.080 to some extent, but you still got to make sure 166 00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.440 you got the right guy. But he wasn't the right guy. 167 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:49.399 Here Mumbling his way through interviews, you know at the end, 168 00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.559 Don even before that, quitting on shifts near the end. 169 00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.320 He it was clearly not the right guy. 170 00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.519 If you're you're defending, I'm not defending what happens when 171 00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:00.320 he comes to town. 172 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.440 All's see what happened. 173 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.120 Brady Kuldchuck goes to Ottawa. We're gonna play them four 174 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.159 or five times a year. 175 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:06.159 You know what's funny. 176 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.080 All these Americans want to leave because they're tired of losing, 177 00:09:10.120 --> 00:09:13.000 and this and that. Quinn Hughes got tired of losing. 178 00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:15.840 If the Canucks were winning and it were consistent of winning, 179 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:19.080 he would have said that, Yeah, so there you go. Well, okay, 180 00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:22.080 there's Elias Peterson's in town. He's done nothing but lose. 181 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.279 He hasn't asked to be traded. 182 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:24.679 You know, what's your point? 183 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.120 My point is it's a single case by case. Everyone's different. 184 00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:31.320 Some guys love Canada. Ellis Peterson's got a million reasons 185 00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.679 to ask for a trade out of Vancouver. 186 00:09:32.720 --> 00:09:33.279 He never does. 187 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.919 Rick, You've been never the leader the captain of teams 188 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.840 asking out Brady kuld Chuck and Ottawa. Quinn Hughes in 189 00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:46.960 Vancouver's brother, both American captains, and you go go back 190 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:50.080 to Johnny Gudro, go back to Matthew Kuld Chuck, all 191 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.039 due respect to Gudrou, I'll go, I'll go, I'll go 192 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.840 with something else. Would you think and this is a 193 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:01.840 completely different job. Was tursa fit here Vancouver? He lived in. 194 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:04.240 Point Robbers I lasted one year. He wasn't a fit 195 00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:07.519 And uh. 196 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:09.320 There's something there, like you got to make sure you 197 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.519 got the right guy. Brock Besser seems like the right guy. 198 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:15.000 Yes, right, brock Besser loves this city. 199 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:16.759 What about Connor Helibook? Now he wants home, he. 200 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.440 Wants Larka wants out. You know, you know it's now there's. 201 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.480 That's more about losing well with Larkin and perhaps hellipok 202 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.200 as well. There I signed the contract. 203 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.519 They're worried in Columbus about Warensky Darni there, and there's 204 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.320 a lot of rumblings about him wanting out. 205 00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:33.960 That's an American city. 206 00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:36.240 Yeah, I know, but it's still why are these guys 207 00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:39.080 wanting out? Everybody wants out. The the NBA thing, let's 208 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.799 go to a winner win the championship. Well, there's only 209 00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.200 one team that wins the championship. 210 00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:45.720 And to some extent, I agree with you, like, it's 211 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:48.480 more about going to a winner. Are you paying attention? 212 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.240 It's more about going to a winner than it is 213 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.799 leaving for for your your home country, your homeland. But 214 00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:59.360 I just think it's something you have to take it 215 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:02.480 to consider it. Okay, So let's let's let's let's let's 216 00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.919 do this. Okay. We talked about Chase Reid. Yeah, it 217 00:11:06.039 --> 00:11:09.279 was on the show on Friday. Ye projected to be 218 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.159 probably a top five pick, maybe the top defenseman pick. 219 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.000 I picked on on Friday. Playing an American from Michigan, 220 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:21.159 I believe playing for the Sue Greyhounds in Canada the 221 00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:26.159 OHL the last couple of years. This is a Chase 222 00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.480 Reid from Friday on the possibility of being selected by 223 00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.120 a Canadian NHL team. 224 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.279 I think being in the Siue definitely helped me train 225 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.320 for that. Being welcomed in by the Sioue fans in 226 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:41.399 the Canadian environment, it definitely helped. And yeah, I would 227 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:43.720 have no problem coming to playing in a Canadian market. 228 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.240 I mean, hockey's the biggest thing in Canada, so I 229 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.879 feel like that'd be that'd be pretty cool. 230 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.960 There you go, So I would what do you mean, 231 00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:51.320 there you go? 232 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:53.600 There actually what he's got no issue playing in Canada. 233 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.919 I think it's just something that might hit them over 234 00:11:57.000 --> 00:12:02.159 time when you talk to players from other teams. You 235 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.720 play with the national team down on the States for 236 00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:07.600 the American national team, and you hear how much they're 237 00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.720 paying for taxes or how much how little they're paying 238 00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.240 for tax a lot of factors. How you know how 239 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.840 how great it is to play in your homeland, and 240 00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.320 you know at first you you're just happy to be 241 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:21.919 drafted anywhere, absolutely, but maybe over time things happen and 242 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:27.360 you change your opinion. So Chase Reid, I'm not so 243 00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:30.279 sure he's the guy they would they wanted the fact 244 00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.720 I have a feeling he's going to go to San 245 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:32.879 Jose and the end up with that. 246 00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:35.639 Would you wouldn't be wrong in thinking that. 247 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:37.240 All right, what should we do the pow? You Ryan, 248 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.080 should we do the poll? Now? The water and up? Actually, 249 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:41.600 you know what, let's save it for one of our 250 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:42.279 open segments. 251 00:12:42.480 --> 00:12:45.519 I'm just listening to Steos. So Steve Staves just confirmed 252 00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.639 there was a trade request. Brady Brady Gash because the 253 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:53.000 first question was the first question was you know what's changed? 254 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:55.960 Because I think Steve Staves actually said it would be nonsense, 255 00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.720 the topic of trading trading Brady could chuck a few 256 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.960 months ago. The first question was so like, what's the 257 00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.879 difference now, and he said, the difference now is trade 258 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:03.919 request by Brady. 259 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.840 So but you you mentioned nonsense apparently what it wouldn't 260 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.480 have been nonsense? 261 00:13:08.559 --> 00:13:11.799 Well, the possibility of him being traded a few months ago, 262 00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:14.799 Steve Steale says, was nonsense, right, because they were happy 263 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.120 to have them all that stuff. 264 00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.600 But then it just turns out wouldn't have been exactly. 265 00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:22.679 He's also saying kind of the same things we heard 266 00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:24.960 from Rutford and that he's like he said, he said 267 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.159 something about you know, it's became clear over the year. 268 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.000 So again this is a this is a there was 269 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:32.440 a lot of runway on this of him, you know, 270 00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:33.480 looking like he wanted to move on. 271 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:35.440 And by the way, been a lot of talk for 272 00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.519 a long time in Ottawa about Brady ku chuck. 273 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.440 Well, yeah, and that's you guys about him, you know, 274 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.159 woe is me? The topic of conversation. The topic of 275 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.679 conversation also came up because you and your brother started 276 00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:52.440 a podcast and that included your dad yapping about your 277 00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.120 teammates about playing in Canada. 278 00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:56.720 So you guys are creating. 279 00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.840 A noise yourself like I'm sorry, don't say this like 280 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.039 woe is me thing, it's all made up? 281 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:08.000 Come on, yeah, okay, so we got let's let's we 282 00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:12.480 should bring more of how this deal relates to the Canucks. 283 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.320 Coming up, will also introduce that waddling dog pole question 284 00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:20.240 which relates to the Brady Kentuck trade and the Canucks. 285 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.399 That's later on d T m Z.

How are 333 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:09.960 you hey? 334 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.319 I'm doing well, guys, Thanks for having me. Looking forward 335 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.359 to talking draft and much more looking forward to the 336 00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:17.279 draft being over. 337 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.960 Before we get Sorry Chris, but before we get to 338 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:25.359 the draft? What I was just talking about here? You're 339 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:29.319 a former intern at USA Hockey. Do America's not like us? 340 00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:34.119 Do they not like playing in Canada? What's happening there? No? 341 00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.920 I don't think it's that, you know, like it's it's 342 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.319 an interesting thing. Like it was kind of funny when 343 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:41.799 all those American guys, it was like the glory, like 344 00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:45.119 the great classes of American players Quinn Hughes and Brady 345 00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.920 Kachuck and Austin Matthews and all these players were getting 346 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.359 drafted by Canadian teams. I was like, Ah, that's probably 347 00:17:50.359 --> 00:17:53.680 not exactly what USA Hockey would want in that scenario. 348 00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:55.599 But at the same time, I think for a lot 349 00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:58.480 of these guys, and specifically Brady, I think, you know, 350 00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.359 it's obviously there's a family thing on top of it, 351 00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.759 and you know, I think there's there's a lot of 352 00:18:03.759 --> 00:18:04.839 different elements to it. 353 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:05.920 With Matthew. 354 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:09.359 You know, you look back at him getting you know, 355 00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.079 essentially getting his way out. 356 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.119 Of Calgary as well. 357 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:16.440 You know, there there's always been that kind of feeling that, hey, 358 00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.799 I probably want to go play in the US. I 359 00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:20.839 don't think it's really the immediate pressure and other things 360 00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:22.839 like that. I know people have said that. I definitely 361 00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.519 don't think that was the case with Brady, you know, 362 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:28.279 but certainly there was there was definitely the storm created 363 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.319 with some podcast stuff, you know, where it felt like 364 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.559 the writing was on the wall and and other things 365 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.039 like that. But you know, I at this point, Austin 366 00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:39.799 Matthews is still in Toronto, you know, still pleased to 367 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:40.359 be in Toronto. 368 00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:40.920 You know. 369 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:43.160 Obviously, I know Quinn leaving Vancouver is still going to 370 00:18:43.160 --> 00:18:45.200 be a pretty sore spot as well. But I think 371 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.119 there were a lot of other factors there too. 372 00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:52.319 Okay, the draft Friday, you have Gavin mccannon number one 373 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:55.880 in your top thirty two going into Friday's first round. 374 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:58.759 Any question, he goes to the Leafs. 375 00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.880 It seems sem to be dwindling. 376 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:01.519 You know. 377 00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:05.039 I think that the Leafs did their due diligence. It 378 00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.559 just seems like that that's where it's going. And you know, 379 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:09.559 I know that Gavin had told a number of teams 380 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.480 that he spoke with at the Combine that he was 381 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.839 essentially told that he was going to go there. And really, 382 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.400 I think, you know, it makes a lot of sense. 383 00:19:17.880 --> 00:19:21.240 They really the Leaf's getting the number one pick. You know, 384 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.559 I think Gavin is more of a complimentary player than 385 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.000 he is a cornerstone player, and that's a good thing 386 00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:28.640 for them because they need that they have some cornerstone 387 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:31.200 players already in their system. So I think that he's 388 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.440 a guy that can can potentially compliment. 389 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.519 That on top of it. 390 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.359 You know, I think when you look at Gavin McKenna, 391 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.559 the biggest separating factor between him and the other guys 392 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:41.240 that are available in the drafts right now is I 393 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.200 think you look at the highest potential offensive upside and 394 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:46.759 that's him. He's proven it at the WHL level, He's 395 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.880 proven at the collegiate level. He's a high end score. 396 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:50.720 There are other elements of his game that are going 397 00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:52.319 to have to be cleaned up, and there's certainly some 398 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.440 people that have concerns about his ability to play in 399 00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:57.240 the toughest minutes and other things like that, with a 400 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.359 little bit too perimeter play. I do think as he 401 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.160
