Andrew and Jeff talked about Jim Rutherford and what he brings to the Canucks. The guys talked about who could potentially fill the open GM role. Also touching on the kind of player and job number 1 for JR. They talked about the job that he did in Pittsburgh and the guys who rounded out the roster and supported the stars on the team. Including a guy like Nick Bonino in the 2016 cup run.

Wadden and JPat caught up with Sean Gentillie of the Athletic in Pittsburgh. Talked about if this is a good move for the Canucks, based off what he saw in PIT. He is going to do something and that is the overarching theory on this executive. Maybe he gets on a run and wins a couple cups or guides this thing off the rails. Expect to be busy, even if it’s low level stuff. He had the autonomy he needed there. He became accustomed to that. Talked about what really stood out to him in Rutherford’s time there. 

We hear from the guys on who is their player of the week and in the dreaded penalty box. A bit of a twist this week. Tune in to find out! Also, there may or may not be a contest announcement on the show this week. You’ll have to tune in!
