The Welcome Matt is on Barry Trotz and his availability after being fired in Long Island. 

NHL Insider, John Shannon joined Matt and Blake to start the week. Talked about Barry Trotz being out of work for the time being. Talked about what led to the decision. Missing the playoffs is important to Lou. Wouldn’t be surprised if Torts name starts popping up. Has not been on the TV side of things. Would almost go with Matt’s money to the bank, that he will be back in the NHL next year. Not buying that Trotz wants to go into management. Coaches want to coach. We will start to hear Joel Quenneville very soon. Talked about Kuzmenko meeting and Bruce being involved. Talked about draft lottery show. Says it is content. 

The Price is Right on the level of talent the NHL has on defence and what that means for Quinn Hughes and if he could ever win a Norris Trophy.

Rick Dhaliwal of Donnie and Dhali joined Matt and Blake for his regular Friday hit. Talked about the handling of Boudreau by Canucks management. Says that Allvin isn’t the first guy to get a GM job and get his own guy for a coach. Says that the owner put them in this position by hiring the coach first. Bruce is stuck because you know the GM doesn’t want you. Talked about the Abbotsford Canucks. Says Ryan Johnson loves Trent Cull. 

JPat joined for the last day of the week. Talked about the biggest offseason story. Thinks it will be the major surgery in not bringing back all the players that finished the season. Wonders what the team will look like and who will not be here. Talked about the release of a number of scouts. Thinks it is organizational news for sure but the fans don’t really know who they are. Just wants a scouting department that is collaborative. Can’t have another Benning vs Bracket. Talked about Klimovich. Talked about what Ryan Johnson had to say about him. Yes there was some developments but they had asked him to do some things that never got done. Talked about Jack Rathbone. Organization says he is ready.

Rob Williams joined Matt and Blake for his Friday happy hour hit. Talked about the future of Bruce Boudreau. Says that people bought tickets to see him. Asked which players the fans chanted… Talked about the practice facility that is pending. Talked about Rogers Arena seats.

Scott Rintoul joined for his regular Thursday hit. Talked about the perceived fued between coach and management. Talked about a practice rink and where it might be. 
 
JPat in his normal spot. Talked about who he trusts more. Has to go with Rutherford over Allvin. Talked about the Abbotsford Canucks. Year 1 has to be chalked up as a success. There were certainly a lot of challenges. Called their playoff run a massive disappointment.

Our Wednesday insider, Darren Dreger, joined for his regular hit. Surprise surprise! It was Boudreau wall to wall. Talked about who could potentially replace Boudreau. Dregs would say that Maurice would be a long shot. PM would be super selective with where he wants to go, at this point in his life. It has to fit his surroundings. 

JPat in his regular spot. Talked about Boudreau and the artificial deadline his camp has put out. Says that it is on management to get better players than if Bruce is here, that’s on him to get the most out of them. Would like to think that there is a pretty solid hockey mind there, outside of the jolly guy we get to know in the media. Talked about JT Miller and when he would likely be traded, if at all. Says it will complicate matters 

Our newest colleague here at Go Goat Sports, Matt Baker, with the 1st and Now Podcast, joined Matt and Blake to talk about bit about the show and the BC Lions as a whole.
