In this episode, I’m joined by Elijah Ford to figure out who actually belongs in the Vancouver Canucks’ bottom six and what that leaves them with up top. Finding a spot for everyone gets complicated pretty quickly.

Could Linus Karlsson earn a bigger offensive role? Where does Jonathan Lekkerimäki fit if he isn’t playing in the top six? And who should line up beside Elias Pettersson? I put Elijah on the spot to build all four forward lines ahead of training camp.

In this episode, DeanerHD joins me to break down the Vancouver Canucks’ massive bet on Zeev Buium after signing the 20-year-old defenceman to an eight-year, $75.04 million extension.

We look at why the contract could age extremely well, why Buium might already be underrated, what he still needs to improve, and who the Canucks should eventually pair with him on defence. We also get into his leadership potential, whether he could become Vancouver’s next captain, and Deaner makes a prediction on whether Buium can eventually break Quinn Hughes’ franchise scoring record for a Canucks defenceman.

And after predicting Buium’s new contract the last time he was on the show, I put Deaner on the spot for another one, this time involving Liam Öhgren.

In this episode, I’m joined by longtime Vancouver sports broadcaster Matthew Sekeres to discuss whether the Canucks have actually changed the way they operate now that they’ve committed to a rebuild. We get into how much autonomy the Sedins and Ryan Johnson really have, whether ownership is cutting costs, which veterans should stay or be moved, and what actually needs to happen this season for the rebuild to be considered a success. Sekeres also explains why he believes the Canucks could eventually be sold during the rebuilding process.
