Show Notes
In this episode, DeanerHD joins me to figure out which players in the Vancouver Canucks organization could become major pieces of the next great Canucks team—and what that team is still missing. We project a potential future core built around Caleb Malhotra, Zeev Buium, Braeden Cootes, Tom Willander, and Adam Novotný; discuss the importance of this season for Jonathan Lekkerimäki; and debate whether Cootes should develop in Abbotsford or begin receiving NHL minutes. We also look at what Vancouver can learn from the San Jose Sharks’ rebuild, why the Canucks may still need a true number-one centre and elite top-line wingers, and how aggressively they should bet on young players like Buium and Liam Öhgren before they fully prove themselves.

In this episode, Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal, co-host of Donnie and Dhali, joins me to talk about Vancouver's ugly start to the season and what it actually tells us about the rebuild. The blowout losses aren't surprising, but Rick argues that the organization can't afford to get its draft picks and prospect development wrong again.
In this video, Elijah Ford joins me to figure out which Vancouver Canucks are forcing their way into bigger roles just four games into the season.

In this clip from my conversation with Hockey Psychology, Anthony tells me how he built his channel and why more hockey fans now turn to independent creators for analysis. We also talk about copyright claims that blocked his videos and how the NHL could give creators clearer rules while protecting game rights.
In this episode, I’m joined by Canucks Army’s Dave Hall to talk about whether the Vancouver Canucks are taking the right approach with their prospects. We get into why Braeden Cootes belongs in Abbotsford, whether junior hockey can be “too easy” for Adam Novotný, and what Jonathan Lekkerimäki needs to show beyond his shot.
