Speaker 3: I think you're gonna want to hear this.
Speaker 2: Your local sports coverage lives here.
Speaker 1: Two nothing, It's Alva not so fast coho breath with
Speaker 1: John Taylor. I say that the winner of the draft
Speaker 1: lottery should be the winner of a two man loose.
Speaker 4: And Rick dolly Wall I had a cherry tree, Little Ricky.
Speaker 4: I used to go up that tree and just sit
Speaker 4: there for hours and munch on news cherry.
Speaker 2: Years Donnie and Dolly.
Speaker 1: Ten o'clock in downtown Vancouver where the Paul Carsons studio.
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in, the folks. It's Donnie and Dolly
Speaker 1: the team on Check. Don Taylor, along with Rick dolling Wall.
Speaker 1: Ryan Henderson is our producer. He's the man of the
Speaker 1: controls or director. The voice of God is Derek Wong.
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 4: How are you doing?
Speaker 5: It?
Speaker 4: Could be better? Oh it's going crazy, Donny.
Speaker 1: Happy Canada Day to everybody, and nice to see Rick
Speaker 1: decked out in red. My computer's freezing like hell. What's
Speaker 1: going on? Donnie? Well, it's Canada Day and again Happy
Speaker 1: Canada Day to everybody. NHL free agent period has opened.
Speaker 1: So far, nothing from the Canucks we talked to yesterday
Speaker 1: about the possibility of them acquiring a veteran defenseman, Connor
Speaker 1: Clifton from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Zach Bogosian from the Minnesota Wild.
Speaker 1: Looks like Zach Bogosian is going to extend with the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild. Ian Cole we talked about, not just yesterday
Speaker 1: but over the past couple of weeks about the possibility
Speaker 1: of him returning. It's not going to happen. Ian Cole
Speaker 1: has signed a one year deal, thirty seven year old defenseman,
Speaker 1: former Canuck, one year deal four point seventy five average
Speaker 1: annual value with the Chicago black Hawks. We got the
Speaker 1: free agent board here, Derek, if you don't mind, Okay,
Speaker 1: So this is what we know so far, and again
Speaker 1: this is a moving target. There'll be some other information
Speaker 1: coming down during the body of the show. Matt zukerrella
Speaker 1: from the Minnesota Wild. He goes to the Kings one year,
Speaker 1: one million dollars. A veteran winger was speaking. You know,
Speaker 1: whenever I watched the Wild play, I noticed him and
Speaker 1: this goes back to his days with the New York
Speaker 1: Rangers as well, So the Kings get him. King's also
Speaker 1: going to jump ahead to the third name on this list,
Speaker 1: Corey Perry back with the LA Kings. Remember he spent
Speaker 1: the end of last year going to the Kings to
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bayle Level goes back to LA one year,
Speaker 1: one million dollars. He's forty one years old. Good for him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, hanging in there like Matt's zucarella. Mason Marchmant meanwhile,
Speaker 1: goes from San Jose five years, seven million dollar average
Speaker 1: annual value. And the first thing I thought of, and look,
Speaker 1: Mason Marchmant does agree. You can say what you want
Speaker 1: about him. And you know a lot of comments on
Speaker 1: Twitter about night and overpayment by the San Jose Sharks.
Speaker 1: That's what happens during free agency. But you got Mason
Speaker 1: Marchman and Keifer Srwood on the same team in terms
Speaker 1: of getting under the opponent's skin, they're going to do that.
Speaker 1: That's not a not a bad idea. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Ian Cole fourth name on this list has signed with
Speaker 1: the Chicago Blackhawks one year from Utah one year, four
Speaker 1: point seventy five million dollars, so so much for him
Speaker 1: returning to the Vancouver Canucks. And then you talk about
Speaker 1: former Cannucks Iliam mckayev signs with Tampa Bay four years
Speaker 1: coming over from Chicago three point eighty five million dollars
Speaker 1: average annual value. And I don't think anybody who watched
Speaker 1: Iliam mckayv in Vancouver and he had the knee issues
Speaker 1: here would would think that he would last this much
Speaker 1: or this much longer in the national hockey did well
Speaker 1: in Chicago, Chicago.
Speaker 4: Did you know what he did in Chicago outpriced himself.
Speaker 4: They tried to resign Ilia mchabb but they didn't. They
Speaker 4: couldn't give that term and that money. Donny, if you
Speaker 4: don't mind, I want to say this about Ian Cole.
Speaker 4: It came down to Chicago and Vancouver. Don he picked
Speaker 4: the Blackhawks over Vancouver. Cole would have been that culture
Speaker 4: leadership signing. Cannocks made a very strong offer. When I
Speaker 4: say a strong offer, like I'm telling you they were
Speaker 4: in it. It came down to Chicago and Vancouver for
Speaker 4: Ian Cole. This is the guy they identified to help
Speaker 4: the Ze Williams, to help the Tom Millanders, the young
Speaker 4: Peterson defenseman culture like Brendan Gallagher. They identified this guy
Speaker 4: as a culture guy, Ian Cole. It came down to
Speaker 4: Vancouver Chicago. He picked the Blackhawks. From what I was told,
Speaker 4: it was not an easy decision. He thought about it
Speaker 4: a long time and then got the done deal done
Speaker 4: with the Blackhawks. He really really thought about Vancouver, but
Speaker 4: Donny Canocks made an incredible offer to Ian Cole.
Speaker 1: He just picked chicag Meanwhile, with their attention now turned
Speaker 1: to Connor Clifton. Of the players that we've brought up
Speaker 1: over the last week or so in terms of a
Speaker 1: veteran defenseman helping out the young defenseman thirty one years old,
Speaker 1: it has been he's kicked around the NHL since twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: American defenseman from New Jersey right hand ed. Does their
Speaker 1: attention turn to him now?
Speaker 4: I would think, yeah, So, Connor Clifton's a guy. They
Speaker 4: did look into don but he the Canucks are out
Speaker 4: on Clifton. But I want to say this to you,
Speaker 4: I wonder if the Canucks turned their attention to Luke Schen.
Speaker 4: I know you've been a fan of Shen's.
Speaker 6: Who is it?
Speaker 1: Who is so?
Speaker 4: If you missed out on Cole who is the culture
Speaker 4: leadership guy? Do you turn your attention to Luke Chen?
Speaker 4: I'm going to be monitoring whether the Canucks are looking
Speaker 4: into Luke Schen. I was told this morning there was interest.
Speaker 4: I don't know how much. But now that they've lost
Speaker 4: Cole do they turn their attention to Luke Shan for
Speaker 4: that vetter and guy in the blaue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Luke Shen moving from Winnipeg to Buffalo at the end,
Speaker 1: didn't get a lot of ice time, but no disas
Speaker 1: during there. He didn't play much during their playoffs during
Speaker 1: their post season. Okay. Meanwhile, there's also been some extensions.
Speaker 1: Now I don't think this is going to show up
Speaker 1: on our board, but arguably I don't think it's arguable,
Speaker 1: but Rasmus Anderson the number one target in free agency
Speaker 1: going into the start of the free agency period for
Speaker 1: the National Hockey League. Where it is he is going
Speaker 1: to extend with the Vegas Golden Knights, But there have
Speaker 1: been other and there have been other contract extensions around
Speaker 1: the National Hockey League. And there you go. Bow and
Speaker 1: byrom former Vancouver Giant the trade a few days ago,
Speaker 1: moving on from Buffalo to Chicago six years look at
Speaker 1: his average annual value Eric twelve and a half million dollars.
Speaker 1: Just seems like yesterday we were watching him at the LEC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know who's going to blow past that number.
Speaker 4: A couple of guys named Quinn Hughes and Cale mccarr.
Speaker 4: Can't wait for those deals.
Speaker 1: Thanks for that.
Speaker 4: Oh boy, I think he's the highest paid defenseman in
Speaker 4: the NHL right now. Boom biroum, Yeah he is. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's just the highest cap hit for defenseman.
Speaker 1: Michael Dick is the new general manager and head coach
Speaker 1: of the Vancouver Giants. He's going to join us around
Speaker 1: eleven fifteen or so. He was one of Bowenbyro's coaches
Speaker 1: with the Vancouver Giants. Get his thoughts on that. I've
Speaker 1: been demied off with Montreal extens eight years, nine point
Speaker 1: one two five million dollars average annual value. That could
Speaker 1: turn out to be an outstanding deal for the Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 1: Look the kids getting nine point one two five and
Speaker 1: you know, Lord knows down the road he might talk
Speaker 1: about him being undervalued, but this could end up being
Speaker 1: a very good deal at the very least for the
Speaker 1: Montreal Canadians.
Speaker 4: He's a young superstar don and this is what you
Speaker 4: got to do is pay these kids this kind of
Speaker 4: money come coming out of entry level deals. You know,
Speaker 4: there was a time when kids would come out of
Speaker 4: entry level deals and get maybe two three million. Now
Speaker 4: they're coming out of their rookie contracts and look at
Speaker 4: this going from one million to nine.
Speaker 1: It's the way the NHL, well, the salary cap going
Speaker 1: up to one hundred and four million dollars, and a
Speaker 1: lot of teams I'm not sure if this is the
Speaker 1: case with Montreal it is with Vancouver. They got to
Speaker 1: reach the floor. They got to reach The Canucks right
Speaker 1: now are seven million dollars around seven million dollars over
Speaker 1: the floor right now, But that's pending a deal of
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with with Jake Debrusk, what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with Brock Besser or maybe Philip Paronic If those players leave,
Speaker 1: what does that mean in terms of the floor and
Speaker 1: the Vancouver Canucks. Okay, Nico, he's sure captain of New Jersey.
Speaker 1: No surprise surprise there.
Speaker 4: He didn't want to go anywhere, and they they started
Speaker 4: gaining traction on a deal a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: So that's a big piece. His name pops up in
Speaker 4: trade momors all the time, but he's not going anywhere.
Speaker 4: He's got a new five year.
Speaker 1: Deal eleven point seven million dollars a b aa V
Speaker 1: for he's here for a podcast listeners.
Speaker 4: That's a that's a pretty good number if you're if
Speaker 4: you're the Devil's and then Dan Vladar, the goaltender. He
Speaker 4: played a big role in the Flyers making the playoffs
Speaker 4: and getting the Round two. So he gets five point
Speaker 4: five uh.
Speaker 1: Seemingly out of nowhere. With Flaidar coming over from Calgary
Speaker 1: and ends up being a franchise goaltender. I think it
Speaker 1: could be a great deal for the for the Flyers.
Speaker 1: And then rad Co Goodis we you know a few
Speaker 1: days ago he gets acquired from Anaheim Mad They're going
Speaker 1: to be a tough team with the Kachuks and and
Speaker 1: gooddess you know Brad More Shawn six year extension with
Speaker 1: is that right? Six years Ryan for rad Cool Goodis
Speaker 1: one or lookod I knew my glass this year at
Speaker 1: one point five million for a rad Co Goodis, They're
Speaker 1: going to be a piece of work Florida. There's so
Speaker 1: many expectations on Florida of course earlier this week acquiring
Speaker 1: Jacob Marx from Most like Nebrowski's on his way out
Speaker 1: of Florida. Uh, they're going to be a piece of
Speaker 1: work of Florida. A lot of expectations, so you wonder
Speaker 1: if you'll be they'll be able to live up to them.
Speaker 1: All Right, what else? Got anything else happening?
Speaker 4: So we're gonna keep an eye on. The Canucks are
Speaker 4: looking for obviously Donnie a defenseman, some veteran d they
Speaker 4: lost for Berth, they lost Joseph Pierre Olivier, and so
Speaker 4: they're also looking for a tough guy out they're done.
Speaker 4: So tough guys are getting paid. They like the guy
Speaker 4: in Anaheim named Jeffrey Veel. But I'm hearing through the
Speaker 4: grapevine he might get as much as three million done
Speaker 4: on a new deal. I don't think the Canucks can
Speaker 4: afford that.
Speaker 1: And yet, but you still have to take consideration that
Speaker 1: floor with the Connucks, like one hundred and four million,
Speaker 1: I expected to go up in the next couple of
Speaker 1: years as well. Each year they have to be concerned
Speaker 1: about the floor as much as exceeding that. You hope
Speaker 1: they don't come close. Give them. The situation they're in,
Speaker 1: the rebuilding situation. You hope they don't come close to
Speaker 1: exceeding the cap. They got to be worried about the floor,
Speaker 1: like we were talking about earlier. Absolutely, and so maybe
Speaker 1: maybe a contract like that is a possibility, is what
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say.
Speaker 4: Are looking for de veteran if they can get a couple.
Speaker 4: They're looking for tough guy. They're also looking for centers.
Speaker 4: Eric Hall as a guy that went to LA and
Speaker 4: they checked in on him. Kevin Stunlin is a guy
Speaker 4: I want you to keep an eye on Utah six
Speaker 4: three big centermen. Keep an eye on him. The Canucks
Speaker 4: are showing interest there. Canucks had no interest in North
Speaker 4: Vancouver native Colton Scissons. Who's going to Toronto.
Speaker 1: He helped Vegas during their postseason three times.
Speaker 4: And Donnie, let me get this in what did the
Speaker 4: Canucks do two years going July first? They signed Keith
Speaker 4: for sure? Sure what to a two year, three good deal? Yeah,
Speaker 4: so this is what they need to do in a rebuild.
Speaker 1: And they signed and they traded him for a couple
Speaker 1: of draft picks, second round picks.
Speaker 4: So if you're the Canucks, you're looking for Keifer, Sure,
Speaker 4: what type deals?
Speaker 1: Two years?
Speaker 4: The guy comes here, takes off and then you can
Speaker 4: trade him at the deadline for two second round picks.
Speaker 4: That's the type of value deals Vancouver should be looking for.
Speaker 1: Is Key for sure?
Speaker 4: What type guys two years and then you sell them
Speaker 4: in a year, year and a half.
Speaker 1: Out a king's ransom? Yeah? No more Messi or Louis
Speaker 1: Erickson's right. Yeah.
Speaker 4: And by the way, Viell just got five years in
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay at two point five. There's no way the
Speaker 4: Canucks could have done that deal.
Speaker 1: No way. Okay, Canucks Development Camp Day two on the
Speaker 1: ice today in Abbotsford. We'll talk about that a little
Speaker 1: bit more later. You mentioned Pierre Olivier Joseph for whatever
Speaker 1: you called him, Pierre Olivier Joseph moving on from the
Speaker 1: Canucks wearing number seven, And we speculated about this yesterday.
Speaker 1: Brendan Gallagher coming over from the Montreal Canadians, former Vancouver Giant,
Speaker 1: is going to wear number seven for the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 4: Number seven, and look at him. He had the class
Speaker 4: to understand what was happening with Wayne Mackey and to
Speaker 4: make the switch. How about that don somebody else that
Speaker 4: came here, you know, didn't have that same class.
Speaker 1: Yeah. A long line, a long line of players from
Speaker 1: BC who have worn the number seven for the Vancouver Canucks.
Speaker 1: A Brandon Gallagher, Cliff Ronning, Gary Loopool, Brendan Morrison. I
Speaker 1: believe Nick Patan wore the number seven as well. I
Speaker 1: remember well a couple of things with the number seven
Speaker 1: for the Vancouver Canucks. One of my first favorite players
Speaker 1: with the Canucks Andrey Budreah. Remember Andrea bud Always remember
Speaker 1: when he's scoring a goal. When the Kaducks were two
Speaker 1: mans short against Chicago, the coliseum went went one of
Speaker 1: their early great players, Andrea Boudrea, the first player to
Speaker 1: wear number seven. The other thing I remember about number seven.
Speaker 1: Remember Chris Zimmerman, who's in the Canucks' front office, and
Speaker 1: I came up with this campaign that he stole from
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, and they were going to retire number
Speaker 1: seven for the fans. They put up a banner, had
Speaker 1: a big ceremony, the whole bit. It never took never,
Speaker 1: it never happened.
Speaker 4: Hey, seven, Pitt Martin was seven?
Speaker 1: Was he? Yes? Yes? Who doesn't remember? I believe the
Speaker 1: first player to play is one thousandth game in Vancouver
Speaker 1: as one thousandth NHL game as a remember the Vancouver
Speaker 1: Canucks Lyndon Vay were Carson SUSSI, but we don't want
Speaker 1: to go through every.
Speaker 4: Every seven Pitt Martin, I remember Pitt Martin.
Speaker 1: David Booth as well. How are we doing? Ryan? How
Speaker 1: are you? How are you busy? Morning? He saw anything
Speaker 1: new because Rick and I have been doing the show.
Speaker 1: Any signings or extensions in the last couple of minutes.
Speaker 6: The one interesting one is the Winnipeg Jets have signed
Speaker 6: Stuart Skinner two years, three point seventy.
Speaker 1: Five Connor Hellibuck And why would they be.
Speaker 6: Doing that outside of a Connor Hellibuck trade?
Speaker 1: Well, you know what with Stuart Skinner and what was
Speaker 1: the deal for two years three seven five relatively? And look,
Speaker 1: is he the perfect goaltender by but by no means,
Speaker 1: but he was making two and a half million dollars
Speaker 1: a year. Do you think the olders wouldn't want to
Speaker 1: have that deal back? That was like, honestly, but it
Speaker 1: was time for him to go and it wasn't you know,
Speaker 1: in the opinion of a lot of people who live
Speaker 1: at Evanson or Fall the oilers, because there was just
Speaker 1: so much noise about him. They have to improve their goaltending,
Speaker 1: so they make this I would say desperate move, but
Speaker 1: look looking back for what he for what he did
Speaker 1: two and a half million dollars in the finals twice.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Yeah, they like to have he
Speaker 1: goes to Winnipeg, which means are we going to see
Speaker 1: a Connor Heill but move in the future by the
Speaker 1: Winnipeg jests as has been rumored. Yeah, nothing else. Maverick Bork,
Speaker 1: we didn't talk about.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 6: The trade this morning. The r f A. He's going
Speaker 6: to Nashville has been really good. Bray Maverick Bork out
Speaker 6: of Dallas, that that was the trade to Nashville.
Speaker 1: Chris McFarlane, man, Dallas was able to make a move. Yeah.
Speaker 6: If you have been following along last night and.
Speaker 4: They were offer sheet, they were petrified of an offer sheet.
Speaker 4: This is why they did that is they knew offer
Speaker 4: sheet was coming for this guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay. But to Rowansky saying no to the Dallas Stars.
Speaker 6: I tell you man that that Milan Olympics is has
Speaker 6: altered the National Hockey League all those America. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's crazy, but.
Speaker 1: No, we're talking about it American player not wanting to
Speaker 1: go to American city.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the interesting thing.
Speaker 1: Was a little bit different than the Chucks.
Speaker 6: Well, the interesting thing with Warensky is that apparently, and
Speaker 6: it's mainly family reasons, I know, but he'd be open
Speaker 6: to going to Toronto.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 6: So this now it's like, what the hell was that?
Speaker 1: Trent, him and his wife are from the Detroit area. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Well the you know, would you want to go back
Speaker 1: to Detroit? Well, no, they're not a contender. Neither are
Speaker 1: the Leaves. No, I'm sure I'll tell you differently in Toronto.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, but when you.
Speaker 6: Have Austin Matthews and Gavin McKenna as chips to dangle
Speaker 6: in front of you, guys, you know, I mean, are
Speaker 6: you ever really out of it?
Speaker 1: I don't know. All right, Meanwhile, let's check out what's
Speaker 1: coming up on the rest of the show. DTMC is
Speaker 1: it just me? In the eleven o'clock hour, we talked
Speaker 1: to about Michael Dick, part of the coaching staff for
Speaker 1: the AHL champion Toronto Marley She's going to join us
Speaker 1: at eleven fifteen now back with the Vancouver Giants there

Speaker 1: signed left winger American left winger Paul Cotter to a
Speaker 1: one year deal two point one five million dollars spent
Speaker 1: last year. Last couple of seasons with the New Jersey Devils.
Speaker 1: Played seventy nine games both seasons last season. This past season,
Speaker 1: nine goals, six assists fifteen points. He was a minus
Speaker 1: twenty four, so they should fit right in Vegas Gold
Speaker 1: to Knights for three seasons.
Speaker 4: Okay, So for that, what's the thing the Canucks would
Speaker 4: like about Paul Carter? I checked in with his agent
Speaker 4: Dan Milstein last night and the Canucks weren't showing interest,
Speaker 4: so they obviously made a shift this morning. He was
Speaker 4: not qualified by the New Jersey Devils a couple of
Speaker 4: days ago. So what you like about him? Down six
Speaker 4: to two hundred and thirteen pounds, Canucks get heptier. This
Speaker 4: is a pretty thick player. You want to get bigger,
Speaker 4: harder to play against. You do it with guys like this.
Speaker 1: But there you go. Paul Carter not qualified.
Speaker 4: And I knew when there was a bunch of guys
Speaker 4: not qualified the other day, Canucks went to that non
Speaker 4: qualified area to get a player like Paul Carter. We're
Speaker 4: not showing interest yesterday, but somehow got up this morning
Speaker 4: and said, you know what, let's go get Paul Carter.
Speaker 1: Well, twenty four to twenty five, sixteen goal season, so
Speaker 1: not bad. Two years with the with the Devils. Two
Speaker 1: years ago, Paul Carter with the All Science Carter like
Speaker 1: welcome back, Welcome back Carter.
Speaker 4: Hey stop, Paul, welcome back.
Speaker 1: This is with a C, not a K. Though, great show,
Speaker 1: Gabe Kaplan, you should play this song by John Sebastia.
Speaker 1: Why what's right? Why not say that John Shannon knows
Speaker 1: what we're talking about.
Speaker 4: John Travolta, Vinnie.
Speaker 1: Reno forget John Travolta, John Shannon, John Vinnie Marno Hockey
Speaker 1: Podcast on Canucks said, John, you gotta tell you know
Speaker 1: all about to welcome back Carter. Of course, a great show.
Speaker 8: Rick said, it was pretty good good. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 8: it was a pretty good show. But let's but let's
Speaker 8: you know, let's face it, Paul caught her, not Carter,
Speaker 8: like our friend Dhaliwall wants to say, caught her. You know,
Speaker 8: we're going to see a lot of this for the
Speaker 8: Canucks over the.
Speaker 1: Next couple of years.
Speaker 8: We're gonna see guys come in for one year and
Speaker 8: and try to mull through what the what the season
Speaker 8: is and hopefully they bring some veteran leadership, they bring
Speaker 8: some of his Rick point out some size. But you know,
Speaker 8: Paul cotter Is is going to be unfortunately fodder in
Speaker 8: Vancouver for at least one season.
Speaker 1: We look forward to them acquiring one Epstein in the
Speaker 1: in the near future. You didn't get that, of course,
Speaker 1: you know, I know one Epstein. What do you make
Speaker 1: of the Jets grabbing Stu Skinner John.
Speaker 8: Well, The obvious answer is that they need some insurance
Speaker 8: for the imminent trade of Connor Hellibuck. At the same time,
Speaker 8: they really needed to upgrade their backup goaltending. So if
Speaker 8: in fact Hellibuck stays there for because remember it's not
Speaker 8: as if he's under contract for one more year, he's
Speaker 8: under contract I think for four more, they needed to
Speaker 8: improve beyond what Hellibuck offers. The Winnipeg Jets lost Connor
Speaker 8: Hellibuck to surgery before Christmas, and Eric Comery couldn't do
Speaker 8: the job, and that was the reason the Jets missed
Speaker 8: the playoffs, because they when Hellibuck came back from the Olympics,
Speaker 8: they went on a bit of a terror and had
Speaker 8: a chance. They needed to have a second goaltender that
Speaker 8: could actually stop the puck every once in a while.
Speaker 8: And that's not a knock at Eric Comery other than
Speaker 8: the fact that Eric's one of the great personalities of
Speaker 8: the game. But in the end, he's not a starting goaltender.
Speaker 8: So this one there's a double edged sword. If Hellabuck stays,
Speaker 8: then they've got a great one to tandem, and if
Speaker 8: Hellabuck leaves, there's at least a little bit of insurance
Speaker 8: that they do have a starting goaltender that can work.
Speaker 8: I still expect the Jets would try to go out
Speaker 8: and find another one, too, though.
Speaker 1: Zach Vrensky says no to the Dallas Star is the
Speaker 1: latest player to say no to Dallas. What I thought
Speaker 1: Dallas was a desirable location for NHL players, John.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Well, what is happening with all these American Olympians
Speaker 8: is the strangest thing I think we've seen in a
Speaker 8: long period of time. It has nothing to do with taxes,
Speaker 8: that has nothing to do with Canadian versus American. It
Speaker 8: has everything to do with happiness and winning. That's not
Speaker 8: to say that Dallas isn't a winning team, but you know,
Speaker 8: as you guys talked about, Zach's from Detroit, is from
Speaker 8: the Midwest. Dallas is hardly the Midwest. It's the travel.
Speaker 8: They might have the worst travel in the National Hockey
Speaker 8: League right now. So unless you're going to a place
Speaker 8: like Tampa, then you want to stick in the Midwest,
Speaker 8: and what Waretzki has because of the no move situation,
Speaker 8: has the right to veto anything that he doesn't want.
Speaker 8: All I can tell you now is is the Jim
Speaker 8: Nail now feels what Jason Botteroll felt like three days
Speaker 8: ago when they turned down they or four days ago
Speaker 8: when when Jason Robertson turned down the fifteen million dollars
Speaker 8: from Seattle.
Speaker 4: These no moves, John, Do you see in the next
Speaker 4: CBA they do something about this, because like, if you're Columbus,
Speaker 4: you're sitting there going really, you know, one of your
Speaker 4: best forwards, your best defenseman, they all want out before
Speaker 4: the contract's even over.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it probably will be discussed. But if
Speaker 8: I'm an owner and I'm going to my manager and
Speaker 8: I'm saying, well, why are we giving these things? You know,
Speaker 8: you know the agents are doing a great job of
Speaker 8: twisting arms. The agents are putting equity and a price
Speaker 8: tag on the no moves, and so can you can
Speaker 8: you find a way not to do them? And the
Speaker 8: answer is it will be harder negotiating, But you know
Speaker 8: that's going to have to be That might be a
Speaker 8: mandate from ownership as opposed to something that is collectively bargained.
Speaker 8: It's I said on our show. You may laugh at this.
Speaker 8: I said on our show, Well, okay, the contract says
Speaker 8: for no move. Well, where's the reciprocity for the team.
Speaker 8: If I sign a player with an eight year contract
Speaker 8: with no move in it, well, then he's not moving
Speaker 8: for eight years, and I know I'm protected and I
Speaker 8: can actually market around him, and I can build around
Speaker 8: him because I've got him for eight years. So how
Speaker 8: can the player ask for movement and the team can't
Speaker 8: and vice versa? How can the team not be able
Speaker 8: to be detected like the player is? And I don't
Speaker 8: know the answer, and I'm not trying to be flippant
Speaker 8: about it, but can't. Can't the terms of no move
Speaker 8: work just as much in favor for the team as
Speaker 8: it does the player. I don't have that answer.
Speaker 1: John.
Speaker 4: The NHL draft, I don't like the new setup, the
Speaker 4: couches and all this stuff. There's no managers there, there's
Speaker 4: all the teams, aren't there. What's the future of that setup?
Speaker 8: I'm hearing there's a bit of pressure to go back
Speaker 8: to the old system. Okay, where it's basically I think
Speaker 8: one of the great conventions of all time, every member
Speaker 8: of hockey operations of thirty two teams under one roof.
Speaker 8: But I still think that there is enough managers that
Speaker 8: like the setup the way they are because they're in
Speaker 8: their home environment, with all their files, with all of
Speaker 8: their data a fingertip available to them, and and a
Speaker 8: lot more people available to them. So I think they
Speaker 8: in the end, you know, we watched it wasn't as
Speaker 8: magnificent as previous drafts, but it's only two days and
Speaker 8: it's over and now we're onto something else. And I
Speaker 8: think in terms of where the draft is, what the
Speaker 8: draft is, I'm not sure how important that is. TV
Speaker 8: ratings were the same for this type of draft.
Speaker 1: As the old draft.
Speaker 8: The information that is, you know, that is disseminated, The
Speaker 8: information is number one. Gavin McKenna gets drafted. Well, how
Speaker 8: is that different in this system than the old system,
Speaker 8: And the answer is it's not.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well, let's let's go on to another topic, you know,
Speaker 8: come on, sorry seriously, yeah, yeah, if it was Boublay,
Speaker 8: I would wouldn't have had a problem there you go. No,
Speaker 8: I mean I like Boublay, you know, yeah, But you know,
Speaker 8: in the end, though, you know, we we we and
Speaker 8: our world in the inner and the draft is more
Speaker 8: important for the teams than it is the audience. The
Speaker 8: draft is more important for the players than it is
Speaker 8: the audience. So you have to get it right for
Speaker 8: the teams first and the players second, and then we
Speaker 8: come third. That's my opinion.
Speaker 6: At least you.
Speaker 1: Never see a person hang up a phone quicker or
Speaker 1: and a phone call quicker. If the Leafs asked Michael
Speaker 1: Bublay to announce their first overall draft pick, that would
Speaker 1: would would not happen. John, I got to tell you
Speaker 1: our Bay side inbox. If you can go in the
Speaker 1: wide shot here for a second, Derek, if you don't
Speaker 1: mind white shot at John, you don't mind a single shot.
Speaker 1: There so many people commenting on your television set up
Speaker 1: and your man cave. Very impressive.
Speaker 8: Okay, Okay, So so the top one is sports Net,
Speaker 8: the one closest to me is t s N, and
Speaker 8: the one is the the England versus the Democratic Republic
Speaker 8: of Congo game.
Speaker 1: Yes, which has a surprising score so far at this point.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So if anybody's recording it, I'm not going to
Speaker 8: give you the one nothing score.
Speaker 1: Now, and it's not for England and that's great. You
Speaker 1: gave us that information about your man cave, John, But
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of unhappy that I asked, no, no, no.
Speaker 8: No, you don't have check TV on check TV's on
Speaker 8: the iPad right here?
Speaker 1: Perfect, guys, Oh all right, perfect, perfect, And.
Speaker 8: By the way, check TV when I you know, when
Speaker 8: I spend time in Mexico, I can get check dot
Speaker 8: c A, I can watch. I watched the show there too. Oh,
Speaker 8: I get I get everything.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 8: It's one of the great, one of the great of
Speaker 8: that interweb that we think is gonna hang around for
Speaker 8: a while.
Speaker 1: But can you get Welcome back Carter? That's the big question.
Speaker 4: Welcome back Carter.
Speaker 1: Great show, John.
Speaker 8: That's got to be on Pluto.
Speaker 1: That's gotta be, Yeah, gotta be yeah, yeah, not the
Speaker 1: network that the planet. And one more, John, did you
Speaker 1: ever think you'd see a day when Canada's national soccer
Speaker 1: team would draw close to twelve million dollars twelve million dollars,
Speaker 1: twelve million viewers for a game, even if it was
Speaker 1: in the World Cup.
Speaker 4: It is.
Speaker 8: It's a magical time. It is a magical time at
Speaker 8: a at a point in our country's development that we
Speaker 8: probably need something to galvanize the country together anyway. But
Speaker 8: it's fantastic. And the answer is no, I didn't imagine
Speaker 8: we'd get twelve million viewers. I also didn't imagine we'd
Speaker 8: be going through to the sixteenes without without Phonsie playing.
Speaker 8: You know, that's that's part of what this team has done,
Speaker 8: which is amazing. And you know, I thought the forty
Speaker 8: eighteen World Cup was going to be a disaster. I thought,
Speaker 8: you know, all too many teams. Yes it has been spectacular.
Speaker 8: Yes it has been spectacular, and it's fun. And I
Speaker 8: can hardly wait if the team that we drew at
Speaker 8: one on the first day of the tournament ends up
Speaker 8: beating the Americans and we can get past that, we
Speaker 8: can get into the sixties and they can't.
Speaker 1: Just the thought that Germany isn't in the Netherlands haven't advanced.
Speaker 1: Maybe England, now in Canada has again. Who would guess that. Hey, John,
Speaker 1: this is our last hit for this season. You know
Speaker 1: how much we love having you on the show. We
Speaker 1: can't thank you enough.
Speaker 8: Well, I have a great time doing it. And by
Speaker 8: the way, I'm going home next week. I'm going to
Speaker 8: be in the Okanagan for the week because it's the
Speaker 8: BC Hockey Hall of Fame on on the eleventh, and
Speaker 8: I would be remiss in not telling people in the Okanaga.
Speaker 8: And there are good tickets still available for the event,
Speaker 8: and I can promise you that the event is going
Speaker 8: to be spectacular. We have I've got a little bit
Speaker 8: of involvement in it, and we've produced, I think a
Speaker 8: really good show that will salute guys like Malcolm Ashford,
Speaker 8: Andrew Ladd, Travis Green, Josh Georgies and the Vernon Vipers
Speaker 8: of nine and ten who are going into the Hall
Speaker 8: of Fame on July the eleventh in Penticton. It's going
Speaker 8: to be a fabulous night and if you want to
Speaker 8: meet some people, meet some Canuck alumni and some Hall
Speaker 8: of Fame members, it's a great place to go and
Speaker 8: have some fun.
Speaker 1: Get back to you four hundred TVs. Thanks for this, John,
Speaker 1: Thanks for everything. We really appreciate Happy Canada today, you bet,
Speaker 1: thank you, John Channon. One percent Hockey Podcast, Canucks Podcast.
Speaker 1: Anything further, Ryan free agent wise, contracting, extensional wise. Nothing.
Speaker 1: The one piece of news regarding the Cannucks other than
Speaker 1: the fact he and Cole has said no to the
Speaker 1: Canucks that has signed a one year deal with the
Speaker 1: Chicago Blackhawks. Caducks have signed Paul Cotter from the New
Speaker 1: Jersey Devils, formerly of the New Jersey Devils one year
Speaker 1: two point one five. He is a American left winger
Speaker 1: and you pointed out Rick six two thirteen. Ryan Johnson
Speaker 1: says he likes size. There you go, Paul Cotter joining

Speaker 1: perfect year round escape. Book your getaway now at two
Speaker 1: five zero, two four eight eight triple three your Island
Speaker 1: adventure starts here. We're going to introduce the wandling dog
Speaker 1: pull question. In a matter of moments, we've had to
Speaker 1: eliminate our previous question, the question we put out earlier
Speaker 1: in the day on Twitter, because it's become outdated because
Speaker 1: the Canucks have made a free agent signing of note
Speaker 1: other than Paul Carter. The news is the Canucks have,
Speaker 1: on this day that free agency opens in the National
Speaker 1: Hockey League, They've acquired Luke Sheen for a third time
Speaker 1: rick during his career. He's coming back to Vancouver for
Speaker 1: a third time one year for Luke Shen, veteran defenseman,
Speaker 1: two point two five million dollars. Luke Shan once again
Speaker 1: a Vancouver Canuck.
Speaker 4: He is, indeed. So what happened here, Don, I'm pretty
Speaker 4: convinced is as soon as the Canucks found out they
Speaker 4: lost out on Ian Cole, they turned their attention to
Speaker 4: this guy, Luke Shan. Why because just like Cole and
Speaker 4: Brendan Gallagher, he's a culture guy, leadership guy. He's gonna
Speaker 4: teach those young kids on the blue line. Boo Yam
Speaker 4: Wi Lander, all those guys. Don, It's good to have
Speaker 4: a veteran guy back there for those young kids. And
Speaker 4: I like the signing. I know he didn't play a
Speaker 4: ton last year, don uh, But you put a Luke
Speaker 4: Shan and you put a Brendan Gallagher in that dressing room,
Speaker 4: that dressing room is one hundred percent better than last
Speaker 4: year and the year before.
Speaker 1: That's not saying much, but right, but it's.
Speaker 4: A better dressing room. The one thing I was convinced
Speaker 4: about this new regime, They're gonna fix that dressing room.
Speaker 4: And boy are they going in the right direction of
Speaker 4: fixing that dressing room.
Speaker 1: The other situation with Luke Shan that I like, and
Speaker 1: this is somewhat the case with Brendan Gallagher. Brendan Gallagher
Speaker 1: facing adversity certainly early in his career as someboney who's
Speaker 1: what a fifth fifth round draft pick, undersized, you know,
Speaker 1: disregarded all the negativity and has spent fourteen years in
Speaker 1: the National Hockey League and certainly faced some adversity. Last year,
Speaker 1: Montreal had a good year, had a great postseason run.
Speaker 1: They made it to the Eastern Conference Final, but Brendan
Speaker 1: Gallagher was scratched. He just played three postseason games, so
Speaker 1: from the majority of the Habs postseason drive, he was scratched.
Speaker 1: There's some adversity there, and the lesson is that you
Speaker 1: persevere through all of that. And the same thing with
Speaker 1: Luke Shan. The thing is with Luke Shan is that
Speaker 1: he is. Would you category categorize him as a journeyman defenseman,
Speaker 1: stay at home defenseman, I think you would. But he
Speaker 1: was a fifth overall draft pick coming out of the
Speaker 1: Corona Rockets program from Saskatoon. Brother made the NHL as well,
Speaker 1: but he was a disappointment in Toronto to start. I
Speaker 1: know he had two runs with the Maple Leafs as well,
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about the first go round. He was
Speaker 1: a disappointment in Toronto as a fifth overall draft pick.
Speaker 1: And there was a time midway through his career when
Speaker 1: he was a National Hockey League veteran acquired by Anaheim
Speaker 1: and they sent him down to the miners, to the
Speaker 1: San Diego Gulls, and he ended up resurrecting his career
Speaker 1: down there. I think Dallas Eakins was his coach down there,
Speaker 1: and everything worked out for him. Again, did it work
Speaker 1: out to the point where he lived up the expectations
Speaker 1: of being a fifth overall draft pick? No, but he
Speaker 1: hung around and hung around and got himself a couple
Speaker 1: of standing couple rings with the tamp tag light and perseverance, right,
Speaker 1: And that's something he can talk about with the young
Speaker 1: players on the Canucks. It's not just about what he
Speaker 1: does on the ice. It's also off the ice as well.
Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately it's what he does on the ice,
Speaker 1: but the stories he can tell about hanging in there,
Speaker 1: about not giving up, about working your ass off, that's
Speaker 1: a big deal. I think it's Ryan Johnson is doing
Speaker 1: a lot of good things. I think this, like the
Speaker 1: Brandon Gallagher acquisition, is just really really smart.
Speaker 4: Better people, eagles, better dressing room. These guys are good
Speaker 4: pros on and off the ice. They're good people off
Speaker 4: the ice. Donnie, I'm gonna tell you quick story. He
Speaker 4: was going to be sent to the miners by the Canucks.
Speaker 4: Who was trade deadline day. The Canucks traded a veteran
Speaker 4: defenseman and they turned around and told him you're staying.
Speaker 4: You're staying for the rest of the year. He was
Speaker 4: that close to going to Utica. This guy has persevered
Speaker 4: through a lot. He was a high draft pick, like
Speaker 4: you said, never lived up to that billing. But look
Speaker 4: He's thirty six teamed and this Vancouver was not the
Speaker 4: only team after Luke Shan today don he had interest
Speaker 4: from other teams as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, there's another signing with the Vancouver connection. Your favorite player,
Speaker 1: Danilla Klimovitch is headed elsewhere.
Speaker 4: Danilla club last but four years in Vancouver, never played
Speaker 4: a game. The Canucks did not qualify him. So basically
Speaker 4: he signed with Philadelphia. Rick Talcket would have got a
Speaker 4: glimpse or two of Klemovic when he was in Vancouver,
Speaker 4: so TALKT. Look, he's going to go to their farm team.
Speaker 4: Try to work his way.
Speaker 1: One year deal, right, do I know the terms? It's
Speaker 1: a one year deal.
Speaker 4: It's a one year. I think it's two ways. It's
Speaker 4: a two way deal. It wouldn't be a one way deal.
Speaker 4: He's never played an NHL game. Even when the in
Speaker 4: four years in absper down, they never gave him a game.
Speaker 4: Even when they're in thirty second place, he never got
Speaker 4: a game. It was time to get the hell out
Speaker 4: of Dodge. You got the hell out of Dodge. He's
Speaker 4: in Philadelphia with talk it. I got a text TALKT
Speaker 4: later see what he thinks of Klemovich.
Speaker 1: But okay, sure, but Craig Button made the point, and
Speaker 1: I know you want to defend him because he's a
Speaker 1: client of one your agent buddies. But Craig Button made
Speaker 1: the point on yesterday's show that he shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: made a pro so or a big mistake by a
Speaker 1: chance he played junior. Did he know?
Speaker 4: Yes, he did. The Canucks drafted him because he was staying,
Speaker 4: because he was physically mature at the age of seventeen.
Speaker 4: He had a good body six, he was all well,
Speaker 4: has his way to be in six, four to twenty. Anyways,
Speaker 4: they put him in absper dumb move. Jim Benning should
Speaker 4: have gone back to junior, would have scored forty fifty
Speaker 4: goals then come in a year later. But anyways, it
Speaker 4: is what it is.
Speaker 1: So Danilla Klimovich with the Philadelphia Flyers, we got the
Speaker 1: Watling Dog poll question up. Yeah, no, right, okay, Wadling
Speaker 1: Dog poll question. The Watling Dog is opening early and
Speaker 1: is your spot for Canada's match against Rocco Saturday morning
Speaker 1: round of sixteen. By the way, England is tied things
Speaker 1: catch the match live and loud on all twenty two
Speaker 1: TVs with full sound. Come sit and stay at the
Speaker 1: wadling dog today, wreck.
Speaker 4: Don Ryan, get her up the waddling dog by. It's
Speaker 4: it's a crazy day. It's a crazy day. What's your
Speaker 4: opinion of the Canucks acquiring Luke Shan for a third time?
Speaker 4: Ninety six percent say thumbs up and only four percent
Speaker 4: say thumbs down. You can't have enough good leaders in
Speaker 4: the dressing room. And the Canucks just added to in
Speaker 4: the last week. And we know they went hard after
Speaker 4: ian Cole. They lost out to Chicago and Ian Cole.
Speaker 4: So guess what, guys, they've addressed some of those leadership
Speaker 4: issues in the dressing room and help. If you're going
Speaker 4: to rebuild with a lot of young kids, you better
Speaker 4: have some damn good leaders in that dressing room. Gallagher
Speaker 4: and Shan are that.
Speaker 1: One year, two point twenty five to recap. Also, the
Speaker 1: Canucks have signed left winger Paul Carter, who was with
Speaker 1: the New Jersey Devil, started his NHL career with the
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights one year two point one five and
Speaker 1: then the news that Danila Klimovich, late of the Canucks,
Speaker 1: just now onto the Philadelphia Flyers for a year.
Speaker 4: So Paul, welcome back. Carter is here. Don I just
Speaker 4: love that it works.
Speaker 1: It works.
Speaker 4: Welcome Back Carter? Anyways, don this guy?
Speaker 1: Is that like a sequel? Because Welcome Back Carter.
Speaker 4: Was the Shotter Barbarino, John Travolta, Washington, Boom Boom Washington.
Speaker 1: What was his name? Boom Boom Washington.
Speaker 4: K Rogerston Horshack, who didn't like Horshack? Welcome back Carder,
Speaker 4: Welcome back Carter, A great show.
Speaker 1: Just welcome in this case. Okay, we're good, Ryan, We've
Speaker 1: got business to do. Able, Let's do that our title sponsor,

Speaker 1: be recycled for free in BC. Visit opeic dot Ca
Speaker 1: to find a depot near you and recycle responsibly. That's
Speaker 1: opeic dot Ca. Okay, Big Ryan the Twitter guy is next,
Speaker 1: and we have a news of another NHL free agent
Speaker 1: signing and it has to do with a veteran defenseman
Speaker 1: with the Rangers. Probably you should never have given up
Speaker 1: back in the day.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the latest one on our board. Derek working hard
Speaker 6: on this, so I appreciate Derek's work today. Jacob Truebay
Speaker 6: heading to San Jose four years, eight point two five
Speaker 6: million dollars for Jacob Trueba. A lot of rumors about
Speaker 6: Morgan Riley going to San Jose. You would assume that's
Speaker 6: the end of that talk now that they brought in
Speaker 6: Jacob Truba. But I mean, look at all it takes.
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes there's sticker shock with these guys. It
Speaker 6: takes one other team, that's all that's and and and
Speaker 6: during the Jim Benning.
Speaker 1: Era, well that's the case with the Cole Well exactly.
Speaker 6: And during the Benning era, the Canucks were the other
Speaker 6: team that made the dumb signings. Like you know, Beagle
Speaker 6: played the Canucks and he got his money here Riselle,
Speaker 6: he got his like like that happened, and the Canucks
Speaker 6: were on the other end of it. And so that's
Speaker 6: not happening now with with San Jose and Jacob Truba.
Speaker 1: But Sharks just a signed Marchman and Truba, Yeah are
Speaker 1: they is the time now for them? Yep? Well okay,
Speaker 1: but but you know the thing that's scary is that
Speaker 1: they may be thinking that right now, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people who would agree with them. But given
Speaker 1: what happened at the draft, their future looks outstanding as well.
Speaker 1: Obviously they've already got great young players, and then they
Speaker 1: you know, all the draft picks that they made maneuvering
Speaker 1: and they did, getting the two right handed defensemen. I mean, wow,
Speaker 1: along with Stanberg, their present looks pretty good. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was their future, and especially for the Canucks they're in
Speaker 1: the same division.
Speaker 4: Look at their first round on Oh my god, they
Speaker 4: killed it in.
Speaker 1: The vier hoof Lynn to right handed. That's the future.
Speaker 1: And then you look look at this. Are they going
Speaker 1: for it right now? You wouldn't blame.
Speaker 6: Them the other one. Derek just put that board up
Speaker 6: real quickly.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Have we even talked about Noah Jilson. I don't know,
Speaker 6: but he's gone to Colorado two years, one point one
Speaker 6: million dollars for him for Noah Joseon, you're right down here.
Speaker 6: Good for him. You know, he leaves here. He had
Speaker 6: more than just he goes to Philly. He had teams happening,
Speaker 6: and and yeah, I mean look at he's he was.
Speaker 6: He was a good Canuck here and then he goes
Speaker 6: to Philly follows talkt had a really solid year in Philly.
Speaker 6: Now he's in Colorado.
Speaker 1: And yet another player like Luke shen first round draft
Speaker 1: pick for the Montreal Canadians, didn't work out there, has
Speaker 1: bounced around, but has hung in there. Yeah, and that's
Speaker 1: not that Colorado has all sorts of young players that
Speaker 1: he can talk to about his experience, but just somebody
Speaker 1: that again hats off to him, you have to admire,
Speaker 1: you know, didn't let the disappointment of what happened in
Speaker 1: Montreal get to him and stuck around. And he's got
Speaker 1: himself a two year deal.
Speaker 4: Rick Talky really liked him a lot, but they they've
Speaker 4: got their set with their d next year. But he's
Speaker 4: a guy that never bitches or complains. As a six
Speaker 4: to seven guy, if you got to sit him or
Speaker 4: send him to abbey, he never complains. Really good leader,
Speaker 4: really good dressing room guy.
Speaker 1: And you know what, you can take that into any workplace,
Speaker 1: get along with people don't match you and complain. Ryan
Speaker 1: a good lesson for.
Speaker 6: You, the opposite of Derek uh The. By the way,
Speaker 6: Luke schen I retweeted our interview with him about a
Speaker 6: month ago. He had some glowing things to say about
Speaker 6: Ryan Johnson, because of course Ryan was his GM and
Speaker 6: uticat right right, and well, I don't know if we're
Speaker 6: gonna have time to run clips of it today because
Speaker 6: we got a loaded second hour, but it's on our
Speaker 6: YouTube account. And he talks about Manny because he's played
Speaker 6: under Manny in Toronto.
Speaker 1: And here as well.
Speaker 6: So a lot there from Luke about a month ago.
Speaker 6: By the way, Elliot tweeting moments ago, I do believe
Speaker 6: the Serge Lebrovsky to Toronto arrival is upon us.
Speaker 1: Some talk about.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I did the Edmonton phones working? Are
Speaker 6: they doing anything?
Speaker 1: I don't capped out, I know, but they got Mike
Speaker 1: Babcock and yeah, the.
Speaker 4: Other problem they got they can't get rid of nurse.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: I know, teams want, they want retention on nurse and
Speaker 4: Edmonton won't do it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's an obvious solution. Yeah, nurse to Vancouver. Okay,
Speaker 1: sure for somebody else who for eleven six you said it,
Speaker 1: I did.
Speaker 6: Okay, stop very quickly because we do have to break
Speaker 6: for stan Coba. But Darren Drager had this tweet. Everybody's
Speaker 6: watching him with the zach Owensky situation drags with this
Speaker 6: tweet this morning Werewnsky's agent jud Maldover and GM Donodell
Speaker 6: spoke today in an effort to clear the air and
Speaker 6: calm things down. R wentz he comfortable going back to
Speaker 6: Columbus Woodell could present him with the trade in the meantime,
Speaker 6: but that isn't on the radar at this point. I
Speaker 6: think things got a little out of hand in the
Speaker 6: last twenty four hours, the Dallas situation, and you know
Speaker 6: Harry squashing that.
Speaker 1: To Dallas, but they well, one of the sticking points
Speaker 1: was there was an article in the Columbus Dispatch whatever
Speaker 1: their newspaper is, whatever website that is. He had a conversation,
Speaker 1: zach Arnsky with Rick Bonus where everything at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, where everything seemed just fine. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: this this kind of came out of nowhere. Yeah, is
Speaker 1: discontent with the Blue Jas.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, So it's an interesting situation to monitor, but
Speaker 6: we'll see, we'll see where it goes. You gotta be
Speaker 6: careful like these guys that go public or this situation
Speaker 6: becomes public. It's a very real possibility you're not traded
Speaker 6: in the next couple of months. And you got to
Speaker 6: be back at training camp. Like, same thing goes for Larkin,
Speaker 6: Like good luck playing hardball with Steve eisman Man. There's
Speaker 6: a very real chance he's at training camp. So you
Speaker 6: gotta smooth it over the best you can.
Speaker 1: Everybody will be okay, Oh yeah, of course, of course.
Speaker 1: Hey somebody who's will be just fine? Somebody's doing more
Speaker 1: than just fine. Logan stan covin the Kambom's State of

Speaker 1: Happy Canada day. How are you good?
Speaker 3: Thanks, appreciate you guys having me on.
Speaker 1: No problem, Logan, your team wrapped up at Stanley Cup
Speaker 1: titled June fourteenth? Can you put into words with the
Speaker 1: last two and a half weeks have been like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been incredible.
Speaker 9: It's everything I've dreamed of and just yeah, I can't
Speaker 9: wait to have the Cup back in Camloops, being able
Speaker 9: to see my name on it.
Speaker 3: And it still hasn't really hit me yet.
Speaker 9: It doesn't doesn't feel exactly real, but yeah, just a
Speaker 9: lot of hard work and obviously support from family and friends,
Speaker 9: and very excited to have it back in cam Loops
Speaker 9: and share it with the city.
Speaker 1: Well, you stole my next question. I was going to
Speaker 1: ask you where have you had your day with the
Speaker 1: cup yet? Obviously that's that's to come. But you say
Speaker 1: you're going to take it to Kamloops. Where will the
Speaker 1: party be and who will be there?
Speaker 9: I don't have exactly everything planned yet. I know it's
Speaker 9: gonna come. I think it's the middle of August, so yeah, obviously,
Speaker 9: just have lots of my family and friends and Whatnot'll
Speaker 9: probably take it to a few from places that supported
Speaker 9: me growing up, my old school here, and might take
Speaker 9: it to the hospital and maybe to the gym as well.
Speaker 9: So that'll be kind of the plan for the cup.
Speaker 9: But everything's not really set in stone just yet.
Speaker 1: How special is that logan? One moment stuck out for
Speaker 1: me amongst what you did on the ice during the games,
Speaker 1: We saw you interviewed on the ice with your parents
Speaker 1: after a game six. What did that mean to you
Speaker 1: that moment and what did your parents do in order
Speaker 1: to get you where you are today?
Speaker 9: Yeah, they've been huge, just everything they've sacrificed for me
Speaker 9: to reach my goals and just traveling all over the place,
Speaker 9: and supporting me with my goals and dreams and being
Speaker 9: able to have them on the ice and share that
Speaker 9: moment of kind of being at the mountaintop and all
Speaker 9: the hard work and long hours that not only that
Speaker 9: I've put in, but they've sacrificed so much and know
Speaker 9: all their trips of being hockey trips taking me all
Speaker 9: across the world to play the game that I love.
Speaker 3: So it was awesome having them out there.
Speaker 9: And and obviously, you know, very very happy for for everyone.
Speaker 4: Logan. I can't even start to tell you how great
Speaker 4: your playoffs were. Sixteen points, nineteen games that line with
Speaker 4: Jackson Blake and Taylor Hall. Oh my god, you guys
Speaker 4: were great. Talk about your playoffs. You you were one
Speaker 4: of the better playoff performers this year.
Speaker 3: Thank you. I was great playing with those two guys.
Speaker 9: Just Halsey was It was almost a blast from the
Speaker 9: past for him, Like he he was unreal his speed
Speaker 9: and he was a play driver out there and just
Speaker 9: finds finds open lanes and and finds a way to
Speaker 9: get the puck to you.
Speaker 3: So he's creative.
Speaker 9: And then I think with Blaker, he's he's going to
Speaker 9: be a heck of a player, and he's only going
Speaker 9: to get you know, keep getting better as the years
Speaker 9: go on. I think he's you know, so nifty and slippery.
Speaker 9: He's got you know, great hands and sees the ice
Speaker 9: very well. So I thought our line meshed well and
Speaker 9: our chemistry just kind of got better and better as
Speaker 9: the season went on and into playoffs.
Speaker 4: Logan, you know, I'm sure you heard somewhere along the line, no,
Speaker 4: he's too small, he's too small. Well, guess what, you're
Speaker 4: one of one of the best players on your hockey club.
Speaker 4: What would you say to some kids out there who
Speaker 4: you know what people are saying, No, that guy will
Speaker 4: never make it. He's too small.
Speaker 3: It's something that you can't control.
Speaker 9: Like size is something that I've dealt with my whole life,
Speaker 9: and I've never been the biggest guy out in the ice.
Speaker 9: But I think if you you love the game, you're passionate,
Speaker 9: you have a willingness to keep getting better and and
Speaker 9: to never be satisfied with where your game is at.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, good things will happen.
Speaker 9: And I think for me, I've never been afraid to
Speaker 9: go to the dirty areas and and muck it up
Speaker 9: with some of the bigger guys, So, uh yeah, I
Speaker 9: think for for smaller people or smaller guys coming up
Speaker 9: in the game, being able to kind of have some
Speaker 9: of those attributes is key. So that's just kind of
Speaker 9: what I've tried to rely upon and what's helped me
Speaker 9: have success at the highest level.
Speaker 4: A little good things happened for a reason of life.
Speaker 4: You get traded from Dallas, You're probably going, oh, man,
Speaker 4: I like it here, I don't want to go anywhere.
Speaker 4: Then you go to Carolina win a Stanley Cup. You know,
Speaker 4: what were your thoughts on the trade? And now look
Speaker 4: how it all ended up for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I was very upset to leave Dallas. I was kind
Speaker 9: of blindsided by the trade and didn't see it coming.
Speaker 9: But everything worked out for the better, like for me
Speaker 9: being able to come into Carolina and how welcoming that
Speaker 9: group was. And I feel like I've been able to
Speaker 9: progress as a player and I was able to go
Speaker 9: back to my natural position at center. It's everything that
Speaker 9: I you know, there's nothing I could have asked for more.
Speaker 9: So really happy with landing in Carolina. It's a great city,
Speaker 9: great fan base, obviously a great team. Hopefully, can you know,
Speaker 9: keep up the success that we've had lately, and yeah,
Speaker 9: being able to sign a contract long term there as well,
Speaker 9: so you can't ask for anything else.
Speaker 1: Talking with the Logan stankovin, let's talk about another BC boy.
Speaker 1: What's it like playing for Rod Brindamore Logan.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Rod's awesome, just not only a good coach, but
Speaker 9: just a genuine good person. You really cares for your players,
Speaker 9: and he just wanted us to experience that feeling of
Speaker 9: winning the Cup so badly. He wanted it for us
Speaker 9: so badly. And he's such a great coach and understands
Speaker 9: what the players need. I think for me being able
Speaker 9: to work at center and work on face offs, he's
Speaker 9: really knowledgeable in that area.
Speaker 3: And yeah, he's.
Speaker 9: Always willing to telp players get better and improve, and
Speaker 9: that's what I love about him.
Speaker 1: Is it easier to work hard for a head coach
Speaker 1: who works so hard at keeping himself in shape? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he sets the bar.
Speaker 9: You walk in there in the mornings or after practice,
Speaker 9: you see him in the him and I think that's
Speaker 9: kind of what our organization is all about.
Speaker 3: It's blue collar.
Speaker 9: We show up to the rink with a smile on
Speaker 9: our face and and we work hard and we enjoy
Speaker 9: doing it, so he sets the bar and you know,
Speaker 9: we try and follow that and and make sure that
Speaker 9: we're doing our part, and if everyone's pulling on the rope,
Speaker 9: good things can happen.
Speaker 1: Gosh, just three playoff losses. Logan, what does it say
Speaker 1: about your team that you weren't You didn't miss a
Speaker 1: beat after making the switch from Freddy Anderson to Brandon Bussy.
Speaker 3: I think it just shows how much depth our team has.
Speaker 9: And Freddy carried the load for you know, almost the
Speaker 9: whole playoffs, and he was incredible for us. But I think,
Speaker 9: you know, having Busy in our back pocket was great.
Speaker 9: He played spectacular and made some huge saves and a
Speaker 9: few of those games and that's what you need from
Speaker 9: a goaltender going down the stretch and in those big games,
Speaker 9: all it is is a save here, a bounce here,
Speaker 9: and it could be a different game, and bus was
Speaker 9: able to.
Speaker 3: In and shut the door.
Speaker 9: And yeah, just an incredible performance from him and him
Speaker 9: and it shows how much deep our team has.
Speaker 4: Logan, what's Carolina like to play with? I was watching
Speaker 4: you guys in the parade and so many people there.
Speaker 4: I think you had trouble opening a bottle of wine
Speaker 4: or something I saw on video. But anyways, how is
Speaker 4: how is it played in the market like Carolina.
Speaker 3: It's awesome.
Speaker 9: I'm shocked at you know, the fan base we have
Speaker 9: and the support we get, and the Canes are kind
Speaker 9: of the the only, you know, pro sports team in
Speaker 9: the Ralegh area, and so they really rally around us
Speaker 9: and support us, and I couldn't believe. I think there
Speaker 9: was two hundred thousand people downtown at the parade and
Speaker 9: that was probably one of the other than being able
Speaker 9: to lift the Stanley Cup and share that with my teammates,
Speaker 9: I think being in the parade was probably one of
Speaker 9: the coolest things I've ever experienced.
Speaker 3: So Raley's a special place.
Speaker 9: They really love their hockey, and yeah, I'm excited to,
Speaker 9: you know, hopefully keep bringing success to that city.
Speaker 1: Other than getting the Cup to kam Loops. Logan, What's
Speaker 1: what are your off season plans consist of?
Speaker 3: It'll be training.
Speaker 9: I just started back in the gym this week and
Speaker 9: hopefully by the end of this week or early next
Speaker 9: week I'll be back on the ice again.
Speaker 3: So not really any trips planned.
Speaker 9: It's a shorter summer obviously, so try and get my
Speaker 9: training in and I think for me being able to
Speaker 9: experience winning the Cup, it makes me hungrier and I
Speaker 9: want to do it again. So I'll just yeah, continued
Speaker 9: to develop as a player and keep working on my
Speaker 9: game and obviously enjoy some rest as well when when
Speaker 9: I have it and have fun when the cups here.
Speaker 1: So many people, Logan impressed and proud of what you
Speaker 1: did with the with the Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes,
Speaker 1: and thanks so much for making time to join us today. Logan,
Speaker 1: all the best.
Speaker 3: Thank you guys, have a good day.
Speaker 1: You bet, Logan stan quov and again lead the Carolina
Speaker 1: Hurricanes and playoff goals with eleven. There's been another This
Speaker 1: is the opening of the day the free agent period
Speaker 1: opens for the National Hockey League. There's been another deal, Ryan,
Speaker 1: if you can join us here for a second, another
Speaker 1: deal involving a goaltender and who else the Ebonton Oilers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Devon Levi, Yeah, sorry, sorry, I'm doing something else.
Speaker 6: Devin Levi traded from the Sabers to the Oilers for
Speaker 6: a third round pick. Right after I writ them for
Speaker 6: not doing it, for not doing anything. Boom, they did something.
Speaker 6: The Canucks have also made another move they've announced.
Speaker 1: Can I just say something with Devin Levi for a second, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be Canada's next great goaltender. Originally drafted
Speaker 1: by the Florida Panthers, went on, went on to Buffalo,
Speaker 1: spent the last couple of seasons, or at least on
Speaker 1: the coast couple of seasons with Rochester in the Buffalo organization.
Speaker 1: But off Evan off to Ebonton he goes, and you know,
Speaker 1: I might say a thing or two about their current goaltenders.
Speaker 1: What he got for the Canucks.
Speaker 6: Dave also asked a contract, one year, two way contract
Speaker 6: with a Kiel Thomas forward to Keel Thomas. Believe he
Speaker 6: was in the King's organization if I have that correctly.
Speaker 6: So he has been. He's the third signing of the
Speaker 6: day of this regime.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was.
Speaker 6: He was in Springfield last year at the AHL. He's
Speaker 6: played thirty.
Speaker 4: Two second HL pick in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, no, No second round, second round pick in
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, fifty first overall to the Okay.
Speaker 1: So Richard Seely of the Canucks, well exactly, general manager
Speaker 1: of the Atmosfrad Canucks has been involved in the King's organization,
Speaker 1: so you would be familiar. Yeah with this player, makes
Speaker 1: makes sense.
Speaker 4: Donny Big six feet, one hundred and ninety five pounds. Again,
Speaker 4: Canucks draft his size in the draft. Now they're going
Speaker 4: after good size in free agency. Hey, guess what, maybe
Speaker 4: they're not going to be the easiest team in the
Speaker 4: league to play against anymore. They're making moves to make
Speaker 4: sure that doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: Okay, a break and we'll deal with the apartment. We'll
Speaker 1: deal with the pull question. We'll also talk to Michael
Speaker 1: Dick back with the Vancouver Giants. He was their head
Speaker 1: coach in his previous tenure with the Vancouver Hockey Club.
Speaker 1: He's now their coach and general manager. Michael's next Donny

Speaker 1: twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three. I spent the last
Speaker 1: three seasons in the American Hockey League with the Toronto Marleys,
Speaker 1: who just won the Calder Cup back in June. He
Speaker 1: was one of the Marleys assistant coaches and Michael joins
Speaker 1: us now. Michael, thanks for doing this and congrats on
Speaker 1: the Calder Cup title.
Speaker 10: Thanks very much great, too great to be back looking
Speaker 10: forward to.
Speaker 1: It three years with the Marleys after the experience with
Speaker 1: the Giants, what was that experience in Toronto?
Speaker 10: Like Michael, it was a great experience.
Speaker 11: I mean obviously, Uh, you know, an opportunity to work
Speaker 11: at the next level, opportunity to work and in my opinion,
Speaker 11: the second best league in the world, and and with
Speaker 11: a with a good organization.
Speaker 10: So UH learned a lot, worked with a lot of
Speaker 10: great people.
Speaker 11: Obviously, the the run to the calder Cup was was
Speaker 11: amazing and it was it was it was an exceptional
Speaker 11: crew of people to work with.
Speaker 1: So why make the move back to the Giants?
Speaker 11: Well, I think you know, look at look at different opportunities,
Speaker 11: and number one, you know, the opportunity to come home
Speaker 11: and and uh, this is this is where home is
Speaker 11: for me. I always talk about getting out of your
Speaker 11: comfort zone and in order to grow and and I've
Speaker 11: coached at this level for a long time, but but
Speaker 11: never had the opportunity to be be general manager and
Speaker 11: build something. And that's that's certainly what I'm looking forward
Speaker 11: to doing here with a with a really good group
Speaker 11: of people. Is uh is not only rebuilding a culture.
Speaker 11: But uh, but building a champion.
Speaker 4: Michael, when you look at where you go with the giants,
Speaker 4: the roster, the all the kids, everything else. So what
Speaker 4: are you thinking in terms of how you go how
Speaker 4: long to turn the ship around?
Speaker 10: Well, I think there's a there's a solid foundation here,
Speaker 10: you know.
Speaker 11: Obviously, Uh, you know last year there was there was
Speaker 11: some moves at the deadline to get younger and and rebuild,
Speaker 11: and I think I think we can look at that foundation.
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously going to give everybody an opportunity here
Speaker 11: who has been here to be.
Speaker 10: A part of it.
Speaker 11: And and my job is is to to get the
Speaker 11: right people on the bus and and the wrong people
Speaker 11: off the bus. And if we've got to switch and
Speaker 11: seep along the way, we'll do that. But uh, in
Speaker 11: terms of a timeline, I mean, you know, we we
Speaker 11: think that uh you know, with the with the acquisition
Speaker 11: of a couple of very good defenseman yesterday, we can
Speaker 11: we can build from the back end out and uh,
Speaker 11: you know, I think I think everything's changed in terms
Speaker 11: of the landscape of the Western Hockey League and it's
Speaker 11: no longer a four year plan. You know, our plan
Speaker 11: is to get competitive quickly here.
Speaker 4: Okay, you talked about the landscape while you were in
Speaker 4: the American League. The Western League is losing all these
Speaker 4: top kids to the n C Double A. What are
Speaker 4: your thoughts on that.
Speaker 11: Well, I think right now, the mindset is going to
Speaker 11: be this that we want to we want to build
Speaker 11: something here, and a lot of the culture here is
Speaker 11: going to be based on growth and development. I think
Speaker 11: for you know, for me, that's that's one of the
Speaker 11: big things I learned in the American League.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 11: You know, obviously our our our focus down the stretch
Speaker 11: through the Calder Cup was winning. But but the focal
Speaker 11: point in that league is development and getting guys ready
Speaker 11: to in the case of the Marley's, getting guys ready
Speaker 11: to play for the lead. So I think for us
Speaker 11: here that's going to be the focal point is development
Speaker 11: and growth, and I think if we can do a
Speaker 11: good job with that, you know, we're going to attract
Speaker 11: a lot of good people.
Speaker 1: Okay, first time around with the Giants, you coach the
Speaker 1: likes of Bowen, Byron and by the way, Michael he
Speaker 1: signs a deal worth over twelve million dollars a year
Speaker 1: with Chicago today, six six year deal. Zach Austin Chuck
Speaker 1: justin sort of how satisfies satisfying is it to see
Speaker 1: those players having success in the National Hockey League knowing
Speaker 1: you coach them at one point?
Speaker 11: Well, obviously really really happy for those guys. They put
Speaker 11: a lot of work in. They were a big, big
Speaker 11: part of what we built here and great to see
Speaker 11: those guys do well. I think it's it's so important
Speaker 11: for us to have that connection with our alumni because
Speaker 11: in looking at the kind of culture that we want
Speaker 11: to create, those guys were a big, big piece of that.
Speaker 11: And not only those guys, uh, you know it was
Speaker 11: was obviously pre scouting the Western Conference prior to the
Speaker 11: final and and watching Tristan Nielsen and and he wanted
Speaker 11: winning a Colder Cup here with Abbotsford and Trent Minor
Speaker 11: and and uh Alex kannick Leaper was playing in Grand Rapids.
Speaker 11: Seeing a lot of our guys move on to the
Speaker 11: next level and do well. And and that's just a
Speaker 11: feather and feather in the the organization here.
Speaker 1: And we understand that Ron toy Toygo has you in
Speaker 1: charge of the construction of the new arena. Is that right, Michael?
Speaker 10: Yeah? Isn't that something right, Yeah, be careful what you
Speaker 10: wish were there.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously that's really exciting, you know, and that
Speaker 11: was that was obviously something that was that was talked about,
Speaker 11: you know, prior to me coming here and the fact
Speaker 11: that it's uh, it's coming to fruition and and uh
Speaker 11: and coming in the next in the next little while.
Speaker 10: It's it's obviously really exciting for the organization.
Speaker 1: All the best, Michael, and a gay congratulations on caled
Speaker 1: Her Cup title. Nice, nice to have you back home.
Speaker 10: Great to be back. Thanks for having me, guys, No problem.

Speaker 12: feel like you're kind of a partnership with him, you're
Speaker 12: not working against him like you might feel like that.
Speaker 12: And maybe some other you know, other style of coaching
Speaker 12: or management where you know they got the power, but
Speaker 12: it feels like you're not working towards the same goal.
Speaker 12: I feel like with a guy like Manny, you know
Speaker 12: he's always working with guys before and after practice, real
Speaker 12: real good talker in the room. When he's doing video,

Speaker 1: in the day, and the Canucks haven't handled a terrible
Speaker 1: contract on July and one huge win. Ope. I'd imagine

Speaker 4: I think don there they understand where they're at as
Speaker 4: a hockey club and going into a.
Speaker 1: Rebuild, which is which is a good step to understand
Speaker 1: where you're at it as a hockey team. That hasn't
Speaker 1: always been the case.
Speaker 4: There's no reason for them to spend stupid today. They
Speaker 4: need Keith for sure with like deals on July first,
Speaker 4: and then trade these guys in a year, year and
Speaker 4: a half for two second round picks. I'd rather have
Speaker 4: Shen than Cole anyways, as says a Bill, but I
Speaker 4: will tell everybody that Ian Cole, not Luke Shen, was
Speaker 4: target number one for the canucktion to costs more. I
Speaker 4: know that, but he's thirty eight years old, Lucas thirty six.
