Show Notes
In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Harman Dayal of The Athletic. We discuss what has happened to Elias Pettersson over the last two seasons, what parts of his game may still be fixable, and what a realistic bounce-back could actually look like in 2026–27. We also talk about whether Pettersson’s timeline still fits the Canucks’ rebuild, what his contract means for Vancouver right now, and whether the team could eventually look to move him once his trade value recovers.

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. Paul Cotter is already exceeding expectations, Max Sasson is earning tough matchups, and the lineup we imagined a month ago is starting to look different.
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.
