The Canucks Are Back! (feat. DeanerHD)

About this episode

The episode discusses the start of the 2025/26 NHL season with insights on the Vancouver Canucks' offseason moves and player performances.

In this episode, I kick off the 2025/26 NHL season with fellow Canucks content creator, DeanerHD. We run through the entire offseason: Brock Boeser re-signing, the Evander Kane trade and fit, the Šilovs and Joshua moves, and why the goalie pipeline with Alexei Medvedev looks legit. We gush about 18-year-old Braeden Cootes making the opening night roster, debate Willander vs. Mancini, and talk Jonathan Lekkerimäki’s shot and powerplay upside. We also touch on the McDavid extension and what it might mean for Quinn Hughes. - Nuckhead
