About this episode
Sat and Bik discuss the implications of the Canucks' draft lottery results and the potential for trading down in the draft.
Sat and Bik shake off the Canucks’ draft‑lottery disappointment and dive straight into whether this is the year Vancouver and other teams should consider trading down. They explore the possibility of Toronto passing on McKenna and why San Jose’s No. 2 pick is uniquely intriguing for a team desperate for a top defenseman, and what realistic trade scenarios could exist between clubs. Later they discuss the latest on the Canucks’ GM search, including why Martin Madden Jr. profiles as exactly the kind of forward‑thinking mind the organization needs.
