Canucks Talk

Brendan Batchelor joins the show to discuss how the vibe around the Vancouver Canucks locker room has shifted since the trade deadline, with the team looking more cohesive and even changing its win song.

Later, Dimitri Filipovic weighs in on Vancouver’s true talent level and why the team may not actually be the worst roster in the league. Plus, the importance of the upcoming draft and where prospects like Jonathan Lekkerimäki fit into the organization’s long-term plan.
