Jeff Paterson sits in for Blake Price, and discusses organized team activities in the NHL offseason and the *wink wink* nature of club personnel being on the ice after the NHL/NHLPA agreed to a summer trial. Matt and Jeff also discuss the ramifications for the offseason if the Canucks can't clear cap space, where that leaves them as a shopper hoping to improve. BC Lions owner Amar Doman stops by to talk about booking LL Cool J for the club's home opener on June 17. And Rick Dhaliwal updates the status of Ethan Bear and other Canucks free agents, who may have to wait on the club clearing cap space, as well as Milan Lucic's desire to come home.
