The Minnesota Wild are in an unenviable position right now.

They reportedly offered Kirill Kaprizov the biggest contract in NHL history, and he still said no.

Can the Vancouver Canucks avoid a similar fate with Quinn Hughes? And how much money could he make on his next contract?

Beggsy and Bhawan also tell you what they learned after Hughes responded to Jack Hughes' comments about the brothers playing together. Quinn Hughes also spoke for the first time about Jim Rutherford's comments about his desire to play with his brothers.

The boys also get into another Jack Roslovic update, because apparently the Canucks haven't given up on signing him yet.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks:

Jack Hughes, speaking to Pierre LeBrun, dropped a powerful hint:

“Honestly, I’m not afraid to say it. Yeah, I would love for Quinn to—eventually I’d love to play with him… whether that’s in New Jersey or at what time that takes, at some point, I want to play with Quinn.”

We dive into the growing narrative of the Hughes brothers reuniting, and how that shapes both Devils and Canucks strategies.

Analysis on the weight behind Jim Rutherford’s comments, noting Quinn has said he wants to play with his brothers—a reality the Canucks can control if they bring Jack and Luke to Vancouver.

What this all spells for Quinn’s future: Will Vancouver keep their captain or let family ties pull him east?

Why this matters: It’s not just a trade rumor—it’s about identity, legacy, and one of hockey’s most compelling family sagas.

Elias Pettersson is back in Vancouver, and he isn't here to F around.

At least, that's the vibe he's giving off.

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan break down media day at the "Milf," specifically Elias Pettersson's first chat with the Vancouver Canucks media.

With Petey not cracking a smile, we ask, is a pissed-off Pettersson a good thing for the Canucks? Plus, the boys dig into the Pettersson and Boeser dynamic, whether or not they can fulfill their 2018 prophecy, and talk about other takeaways from the Vancouver Canucks first media availability of the season.

Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More

🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL

What the Cowboys Netflix Doc Teaches the Canucks About Winning The new Netflix documentary on the Dallas Cowboys pulls back the curtain on one of sports’ most iconic dynasties—and buried inside is a message the Vancouver Canucks desperately need to hear. In one of the most powerful moments, Michael Irvin says: “Organizations don’t win championships, families do.” In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we compare the Cowboys’ story to Vancouver’s current path: What the Canucks can learn from Dallas’ culture of accountability and togetherness. How stars like Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, and Thatcher Demko need to carry the same “family-first” mentality. Why winning isn’t just about front office moves—it’s about creating a true brotherhood inside the locker room. How Vancouver can finally transform from an “organization” into a “family” that wins when it matters most. The Canucks don’t just need talent. They need culture. And if Irvin is right, the blueprint for a Stanley Cup might be closer than it seems. #Canucks #VancouverCanucks #DallasCowboys #CowboysNetflix #MichaelIrvin #NHL #LockedOnCanucks #CanucksPodcast #CanucksNation #NHL2025 JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Read this article on Sportsnet:

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/quinn-hughes-on-canucks-future-i-can-handle-the-noise/

Captain Quinn Hughes is back speaking up—and the message is clear: he's locked in for the Canucks and focused on leading them back to contention.

In his first deep interview since the offseason, Hughes shared he hasn’t thought about his contract or long-term future—he’s completely “present”, laser-focused on getting ready for the season and lifting the team out of last year’s chaos

We break down what makes him the perfect leader:

He handles the noise like no one else—“That’s why I’m the captain… I can play at an elite level and it doesn’t matter what’s going on around me.”

Moves quickly past distractions—he’s already thinking about the skate test, not camp, setting the tone for accountability

His trust in Adam Foote and love for Rick Tocchet show both loyalty and adaptability to new leadership—essential traits for sustaining a winning culture

Why the Canucks need to keep Hughes long-term:

He’s the emotional and on-ice center. With two more years left on his contract and extension eligibility next summer, Vancouver simply can’t afford to lose this anchor.

Beyond the stats, he’s the compass. In a season marred by injuries and drama, he’s the steady voice driving renewal for 2025–26

Is Elias Pettersson the Most Important Player in the NHL?

Every team has its franchise cornerstone, but few players carry the weight of an entire organization’s history the way Elias Pettersson does for the Vancouver Canucks.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why Pettersson’s performance in 2025–26 could literally alter the future of this franchise:

Why Pettersson’s bounce-back season will dictate whether the Canucks can contend—or collapse.

How his success (or failure) could be the ultimate turning point in Vancouver Canucks history.

The ripple effect: from contract talks to roster construction, to playoff chances.

Meanwhile, across the league, Connor McDavid still hasn’t signed his next contract—how does Edmonton’s uncertainty compare to Vancouver’s situation with Petey?

Pettersson may not just be Vancouver’s most important player—he might be the most important player in the NHL right now.

Shoutout to Halford and Brough for inspiring this thought.

Power. Ego. Legacy. Two legendary executives—Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Jim Rutherford of the Vancouver Canucks—find themselves in the spotlight once again.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we compare how both men handle their influence and whether their old-school approach is starting to clash with the modern game.

Jerry Jones and the Micah Parsons trade + contract drama—a move that showcases both his stubbornness and power as owner/GM of “America’s Team.”

Jim Rutherford openly commenting on Quinn Hughes wanting to play with his brothers—a reminder of just how much sway Rutherford still carries in Vancouver.

Are these respected veterans still the right architects for their teams, or are they holding onto too much power in an era that demands adaptability?

We’ll dive into what these situations say about leadership, legacy, and the fine line between experience and overreach.
