This one's coming to you a scooch late, as it was recorded in the middle of the Canucks' recent losing skid, during last week's 5-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken. We welcome back the good brother J.D. Burke, editor-in-chief of Elite Prospects and EP Rinkside, to talk the Air Bud films, Cody Hodgson's return to pro hockey, Arshdeep Bains' NHL debut, Bains' long-term outlook as an NHL contributor, and if it's still worth kicking the tires on Phil Kessel this late in his career.

This month we take a deep dive in to the many stories in a storied career of a man who may be the next newest Canuck: three-time Stanley Cup champion Phil "The Thrill" Kessel.

And of course, support J.D. and a number of your favourite hockey writers by subscribing to EP Rinkside.
