About this episode
The episode features a crossover segment discussing the Canucks' current situation, draft prospects, and insights on the NHL Playoffs.
Jamie Dodd and Thomas Drance are joined by Donnie and Dhali for a packed crossover segment covering the latest on Manny Malhotra’s contract negotiations, why the timing of the coaching announcement matters, and what the Canucks are trying to build culturally moving forward. The guys also debate Ivar Stenberg’s rapid rise after another dominant performance at Worlds, whether he could push toward the top of the draft board, and who Vancouver should target if McKenna and Stenberg are both off the board at No. 3. Plus, Jannik Hansen joins to break down the NHL Playoffs, Vegas overwhelming Colorado, Carolina’s system success, and why playoff runs ultimately come down to star players stepping up at the right time.
