About this episode
Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance discuss the Canucks' coaching situation and the organization's shift towards long-term team building.
Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance react to another quiet day on the Canucks’ head coaching front while digging into Iain MacIntyre’s latest piece featuring Henrik Sedin and the organization’s apparent philosophical shift toward patience and long-term team building. The guys debate whether this front office and ownership group are truly committed to a different process after years of chasing short-term fixes, and why the upcoming draft, player development, and potential veteran trades will ultimately determine whether this rebuild succeeds. Plus, the Whiteboard dives into Vegas returning to the Stanley Cup Final, trade speculation surrounding Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson and Filip Hronek, and whether Vancouver should seriously explore moving Hronek for a top-five draft pick.
