Locked On Canucks - Daily Podcast On The Vancouver Canucks

In today’s Locked On Canucks episode, we dive into one of the more confusing — and fascinating — storylines around Vancouver right now: the potential overlap of drafting Caleb Malhotra while also bringing in Manny Malhotra.

Same last name. Same hockey world. Totally different roles… but the optics? Yeah, people are talking.

Is this just coincidence, or is there something deeper at play in how the Canucks are thinking about culture, development, and familiarity? We break down who Caleb Malhotra is as a prospect, what he could bring to the organization, and why Manny Malhotra’s presence — whether behind the bench or in a development role — could amplify that growth.

At the same time, we address the confusion head-on. In a market like Vancouver, perception matters. And when decisions start to look connected, fans are going to ask questions.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Who Caleb Malhotra is and why the Canucks would draft him

✔ The potential hiring of Manny Malhotra and his role in Vancouver

✔ Why the overlap is raising eyebrows among fans

✔ Development vs optics — is this smart planning or risky perception?

✔ What this says about the Canucks’ direction moving forward

📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS:

Caleb Malhotra Canucks draft

Manny Malhotra Canucks hire

Canucks prospects development

Vancouver Canucks rumors

NHL draft Canucks

Canucks front office decisions

This is one of those situations where the on-ice logic and off-ice perception collide — and how the Canucks handle it could say a lot about where this organization is headed.

💬 Let’s hear it:

Is this a smart, aligned move for development… or does it feel a little too close for comfort?

So you're saying there's a chance.

It's been 12 years since the Vancouver Canucks fired Mike Gillis and Laurence Gilman. That alone makes a reunion unlikely, but has enough time passed to heal the wounds?

Beggsy and Bhawan touch on the latest surrounding Mike Gillis and the Toronto Maple Leafs front office opening, along with whether Laurence Gilman would consider the job.

The boys also get into the new about Marco Rossi's injury, what exactly he was dealing with , and his recent comments about battling through the ailment.

Bringing home a veteran NHLer with ties to British Columbia. That's always worked out well for the Vancouver Canucks, right?

Thankfully, Brendan Gallagher isn't Evander Kane.

Beggsy and Bhawan talk about why the Canucks could get Gallagher this offseason, and what's been going on with him recently in Montreal.

They also dive into the latest surrounding the Canucks GM search, including Shane Doan's buddy entering the conversation. In their What The Puck segment, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about Canada's team, the Silovs debacle and more.

In today’s Locked On Canucks episode, we dive into the latest buzz coming out of NHL circles and Canucks Twitter — rumblings that Shane Doan is emerging as a name to watch in Vancouver’s GM search.

Now let’s be clear — this is still in the rumor phase, but the smoke is getting interesting.

The Canucks aren’t just running a simple hiring process… they’re reportedly working through multiple candidate lists, and that tells you everything about how serious this search is. One list for experienced executives. One for rising front-office minds. And potentially another for culture-setting hockey people — the kind of names that bring identity, accountability, and presence.

That’s where Shane Doan enters the conversation.

A respected voice around the league, known for leadership, toughness, and understanding what it takes to build a team the right way — Doan wouldn’t be a conventional hire. But this doesn’t feel like a conventional moment for the Canucks either.

👇 IN THIS VIDEO:

✔ Breaking down the Shane Doan rumblings and why his name is popping up

✔ What the Canucks’ multiple-list GM search strategy really means

✔ Experience vs leadership — what direction will Vancouver choose?

✔ Why this hire could define the next era of Canucks hockey

✔ Reaction from fans as speculation starts to build

📈 KEY SEARCH TERMS:

Shane Doan Canucks GM

Canucks GM search rumors

Vancouver Canucks front office

Canucks new GM candidates

NHL executive rumors

Canucks offseason news

This search isn’t just about filling a role — it’s about choosing an identity. And if names like Doan are truly in the mix, it suggests Vancouver might be looking beyond resumes… and toward presence, leadership, and belief.

💬 Let’s hear it:

Would you take a swing on Shane Doan as GM? Or should the Canucks stick with a more traditional executive path?

A disastrous tire fire of a Vancouver Canucks season just ended in a Jim Rutherford masterclass. Sort of.

Beggsy and Bhawan touch on an all-time Jim Rutherford press conference, including the 77-year-old taking shots at a plethora of people, more updates on the Quinn Hughes, saga, the GM search and more.

The boys also get into some surprising tidbits from player media availability, including Pettersson's promise, veterans going to bat for each other, the coaching staff, the improved vibes, and more.

Well, that didn't take long. 

Just hours after the conclusion of the Vancouver Canucks 2025-26 season, Patrik Allvin has been fired as GM of the Canucks. 

Beggsy and Bhawan react to the firing.

A bombshell was dropped on Thursday by a sports media legend. 

On this episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan dive into the report that a Quinn Hughes trade to the Detroit Red Wings was closer than we all thought. But, it allegedly fell apart because of one illegal conversation. 

The boys also debate the Malhotra dilemma. Could it work if Manny became head coach while the Canucks also drafted Caleb Malhotra?

It's part of the therapy of being a Vancouver Canucks fan. 

When you have the chance to call out the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames or the Toronto Maple Leafs for some level of ineptitude, you have to do it. 

On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan debate whether the Canucks are truly in a better spot than the Leafs, following a scathing deep dive on Toronto's inner workings. 

The boys also talk about the biggest game of the Canucks season, with Vancouver having the chance to put Edmonton in a horrific playoff position.
