Locked On Canucks - Daily Podcast On The Vancouver Canucks

Beggsy is one Vancouver Canucks fan who isn't over 2011. But, what hardcore Canucks fan is?

Well, the Boston Bruins trauma might be about to rear its ugly head again.

Adding to the trauma was the fact that the Canucks hired Boston Bruins AGM, Jim Benning, back in 2014.

Now in 2026, they might be set to do the same by hiring current Bruins AGM, Evan Gold.

Beggsy and Bhawan get into whether or not the Canucks should hire Gold, along with who draft experts think the Canucks are picking at third overall.

The draft lottery went as expected for the Vancouver Canucks. 

But, that doesn't mean the actual NHL Draft has to go according to plan. 

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy breaks down Sharks' GM Mike Grier's comments about the second overall pick, and what the odds are of them landing Stenberg. He also gets into the new candidates in the Canucks GM search + Todd Bertuzzi's glow up.

Being a Vancouver Canucks fan is the worst. 

So far in their GM search, they've interviewed some forward-thinkers and interesting up-and-coming candidates. 

But it sounds like instead of going in that direction, they're going to hire ex-Ottawa Senators GM Pierre Dorion. 

Beggsy unleashes his thoughts on the debacle here.

In today’s Locked On Canucks episode, we break down a name that’s starting to surface in the Canucks’ front office search: Pierre Dorion.

With Vancouver exploring multiple paths to fill their GM role, Dorion represents an experienced, aggressive decision-maker who isn’t afraid to make bold moves. His track record shows a willingness to swing big — sometimes hitting, sometimes missing — but always keeping his team active and evolving.

So the question becomes: is that the kind of energy the Canucks need right now?

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Why Pierre Dorion is being connected to Vancouver

✔ His strengths — bold trades, roster reshaping, and risk-taking

✔ The concerns — consistency, long-term planning, and asset management

✔ How he compares to other candidates in the Canucks’ GM search

✔ What this hire would signal about Vancouver’s direction

📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS:

Pierre Dorion Canucks

Canucks GM search rumors

Vancouver Canucks front office

NHL general manager candidates

Canucks offseason decisions

NHL executive moves

This is a pivotal moment for the Canucks. The next GM won’t just make transactions — they’ll define the philosophy of the team. And if Dorion is truly in the mix, it suggests Vancouver may be open to a high-risk, high-reward approach.

💬 Let’s hear it:

Would you trust Pierre Dorion to lead the Canucks? Or should Vancouver go in a completely different direction?

In today’s Locked On Canucks episode, we explore a fascinating offseason possibility: could Jamie Benn be a fit in Vancouver as a UFA? With tension and questions surrounding his situation in Dallas, the door might be open for a veteran move that brings edge, leadership, and playoff experience to the Canucks.

Benn isn’t the same player he was at his peak — but that might be exactly why this conversation is interesting. This isn’t about a franchise centerpiece… it’s about adding bite, presence, and a different dimension to a Vancouver lineup that’s been searching for identity in big moments.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Why Jamie Benn could hit the UFA market and what’s going on in Dallas

✔ What Benn still brings — physicality, leadership, and playoff edge

✔ How he would fit into the Canucks’ top 9 or bottom 6

✔ Contract expectations — short term, low risk, high impact?

✔ The risk: age, pace of play, and whether Vancouver should go younger instead

📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS:

Jamie Benn Canucks

Jamie Benn free agency

Canucks offseason targets

Vancouver Canucks rumors

Dallas Stars issues Benn

NHL free agents 2026

This is the kind of move that isn’t flashy — but could change the feel of a team overnight. A tone-setter. A locker room presence. Someone who plays a different brand of hockey when it matters most.

💬 Let’s talk:

Would you bring Jamie Benn to Vancouver on a short-term deal? Or is this a direction the Canucks should avoid?

in today’s Locked On Canucks episode, we dive into the emotional contrast hitting Vancouver right now: Rick Tocchet and Quinn Hughes are moving on to the second round of the NHL Playoffs… while Canucks fans are left refreshing pages and waiting for the draft lottery.

It’s a tough reality.

On one side, you’ve got winning hockey, momentum, and meaningful games in May. On the other, it’s ping pong balls, percentages, and “what could be.” And for Canucks fans, that contrast hits hard — because it’s not just about missing the playoffs… it’s about watching familiar names thrive when the stakes are highest.

This episode leans into that feeling — the tension between progress elsewhere and patience in Vancouver.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Rick Tocchet’s playoff success and what’s clicking right now

✔ Quinn Hughes stepping up on the big stage

✔ The emotional reality of being a Canucks fan during playoff season

✔ Lottery odds, draft hope, and what comes next for Vancouver

✔ The bigger question: how far away are the Canucks, really?

📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS:

Canucks draft lottery

Quinn Hughes playoffs

Rick Tocchet playoffs

Canucks rebuild timeline

NHL playoffs vs lottery teams

Vancouver Canucks future

This is the part of the hockey calendar where everything feels louder — the wins, the losses, and especially the distance between where you are and where you want to be.

Patrik Allvin might have been a scapegoat, but there are some reasonable arguments to say his firing was justified.

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan look at the two trades that may have doomed Allvin. They also talk about Iain MacIntyre's article on Sportsnet and debate whether Elias Pettersson took a shot at the Canucks.

The boys also talk about the latest in the Vancouver Canucks GM search, with three new names emerging on Wednesday.
