Shoutout to Halford and Brough for inspiring this thought.

Power. Ego. Legacy. Two legendary executives—Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Jim Rutherford of the Vancouver Canucks—find themselves in the spotlight once again.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we compare how both men handle their influence and whether their old-school approach is starting to clash with the modern game.

Jerry Jones and the Micah Parsons trade + contract drama—a move that showcases both his stubbornness and power as owner/GM of “America’s Team.”

Jim Rutherford openly commenting on Quinn Hughes wanting to play with his brothers—a reminder of just how much sway Rutherford still carries in Vancouver.

Are these respected veterans still the right architects for their teams, or are they holding onto too much power in an era that demands adaptability?

We’ll dive into what these situations say about leadership, legacy, and the fine line between experience and overreach.

There's a wide variance of outcomes for the Vancouver Canucks in 2025-26.

To help understand where exactly the Canucks fit in the division right now, Beggsy and Bhawan rank all eight teams in the Pacific Division, determined by rankings of each team by positional group: forwards vs. defence vs. goaltending.

The real question is...can the Canucks defence and goaltending make up for their issues at forward? And just how bad are Vancouver's forwards compared to the rest of the division?

What an emotional day for two delusional Vancouver Canucks fans.

Beggsy, aka, Trevor Beggs, is filled with an emotion on a day where he calls it quits.

Remember though, Beggsy and Bhawan both fell in love with the Vancouver Canucks before anything else, and that West Coast bias will never die. Heck, it's only going to grow stronger.

Find out what's next for Beggsy, Bhawan and Locked On Canucks on this emotional episode.

Willander + Pettersson = Canucks’ Next Dynamic Duo on Defense?

Could the Vancouver Canucks have found a perfect pairing on the blue line? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why the potential chemistry between Marcus Pettersson and Tom Willander could be dynamic—and maybe even franchise-defining.

The factors are all there:

🇸🇪 Both are Swedish, bringing cultural and communication chemistry

🧠 Leadership & experience from Marcus Pettersson to guide the rookie

⚡ Complementary skill sets—one steady, reliable, and defensively sharp, the other young, mobile, and eager to activate offensively

Together, they might form the Canucks’ most balanced pairing heading into 2025–26.

This video was inspired by the latest from BlueLine Hockey, who recently did a deep dive reviewing the entire Canucks defense core. We’re taking it a step further—spotlighting why this pairing could be the one that sticks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Da-WDEh7cZo

We also were inspired by The Athletics latest column on the top propesects from every NHL team.

The Vancouver Canucks won’t be trading for Marco Rossi after all — the Minnesota Wild have officially signed him to a new three-year contract, keeping their young center off the market. While some fans may see that as a missed opportunity, it might not be a problem for Vancouver.

That’s because Filip Chytil is here, and he’s motivated to prove himself. After injuries and inconsistency in New York, Chytil comes to Vancouver with a clean slate, a bigger role, and the hunger to finally show he can be the answer down the middle.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:

🔥 What Rossi’s new deal means for the Canucks’ trade options

🔥 Why Chytil’s game fits Vancouver’s second-line needs

🔥 The mindset and motivation Chytil brings into 2025–26

🔥 How the Canucks can get the most out of him this season

It’s not about who you don’t get — it’s about who you do. And if Chytil delivers, the Canucks could be just fine without Marco Rossi.

Could the Vancouver Canucks actually land Luke Hughes? With the New Jersey Devils still at a standstill in contract talks with their young star defenseman, speculation is starting to swirl — and Vancouver might just be a dark horse in the mix.

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:

🔥 Why Hughes’ RFA status could push the Devils to consider a trade

🔥 What a Vancouver trade package would realistically look like

🔥 The dream of pairing Quinn Hughes with his younger brother on the Canucks’ blueline

🔥 The cap challenges and risk/reward of chasing a blockbuster deal

It’s rare that a player of Hughes’ caliber even becomes available on paper. But if New Jersey drags this out, could Patrik Allvin make the boldest move in Canucks history?

According to Thomas Drance, the Vancouver Canucks are cooling off their efforts to sign UFA forward Jack Roslovic. After weeks of speculation about adding another versatile center, it looks like Vancouver may be turning its focus elsewhere — and we break down what that means for the roster heading into camp.

Meanwhile, Team USA has announced their 44-man Olympic orientation roster for 2026. The surprises? Thatcher Demko is NOT on the list, while Conor Garland IS. What does this say about how the hockey world views Vancouver’s stars, and how might it fuel Demko heading into next season?

In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we cover:

🔥 Why the Canucks may be backing away from Roslovic

🔥 Demko’s shocking Team USA omission

🔥 Garland’s inclusion and what it means for his value

🔥 How all of this ties into Vancouver’s outlook for 2025–26

Where else are you going to find this Vancouver Canucks content?

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan try to do the impossible: rank all 59 players on the Canucks.

It's the complete organizational rankings, broken down into eight tiers.

Is Kiefer Sherwood a top-10 Canuck? Is Conor Garland top-five? Where do Lekkerimaki and Willander rank?

If you're not looking for the biggest deep dive, don't worry, these guys aren't that deep.

Jonathan Lekkerimäki: Trade Chip or Future Star for the Canucks?

Jonathan Lekkerimäki’s stock has never been higher — but will he wear a Canucks jersey long-term, or will he be the key piece in a blockbuster trade? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down Vancouver’s most intriguing young winger and the two drastically different paths ahead.

We explore:

🔥 Why Lekkerimäki’s shot and offensive instincts could make him the best winger on the

Canucks within two years

🔥 How his development overseas has boosted his trade value to contender-level

🔥 The risk/reward of cashing in on his potential now for immediate help

🔥 Comparable NHL players who followed both paths — star wingers vs. trade bait

Whether he’s lighting it up in blue and green or packaged for a top-line center, Lekkerimäki could be the swing piece that shapes the Canucks’ next five seasons.
