About this episode
Jamie and Drance discuss the Vancouver Canucks' coaching situation and team spending strategies while reacting to the NHL Playoffs.
Jamie and Drance continue to monitor the Manny Malhotra coaching situation as the Vancouver Canucks appear to inch closer toward making their next head coaching hire. The guys discuss how the organization may approach spending under the new regime, whether saving money on the GM position impacts negotiations with Manny, and why Drance believes assistant coaches and support staff were a major weakness under Adam Foote. Plus, they react to Vegas taking a commanding 3-0 series lead over Colorado in the NHL Playoffs and dive into another chaotic Canucks war room draft trade proposal from Drance.
