As reports continue to connect the Canucks to Jack Roslovic, Matt and Blake look at the best and worst of the likely scenarios for the team from Roslovic to McTavish to Rossi to Kuznetsov. Who makes the biggest impact on the ice, and who has a price of acquisition that makes sense? The guys also look at the new Amazon NHL schedule and the different broadcasts that Canucks fans will be tuning into. Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to chat about the latest rumbling arounds the Canucks and what the team would need to offer to acquire somebody via trade, or alternatives, what they would need to pay a free agent that may not fit the bill perfectly. PJ shares his thoughts on the Dakota Joshua trade too, and whether the trade is a bigger risk than hoding onto him for a possible bounce back season. Then the guys finish off with a look at another high profile no-show for Lionel Messi, and the Jays finally lose a game?!

Local pitcher, Micah Bucknam has been drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays. Matt catches up with Micah to get the story of working his way from Abbottsford to the Blue Jays camp in Florida, which will hopefully lead him to Nat Bailey with the Vancouver Canadians next season.

After a busy week of transactions, are the Canucks ready to sit on the cap space they have or make another move? Matt and Blake dive into the recent reporting on Jack Roslovic's suitors, and whether that may get too busy for the Canucks to get involved at the right price. Plus, the latest on the Marco Rossi negotiations with Minnesota and whether the Wild may come down on their ask of the Canucks in a trade. The guys also get into whether either of these deals makes sense for the Canucks in the long term, and if there's a clear path to a playoff spot with or without them. Veteran media man John Shannon stops by to weigh in on the Dakota Joshua trade, a deal that he found surprising! John gets into the urgency that the Canucks may, or may not, feel towards the next deal they make. Plus, he evaluates the possible candidates in Roslovic and Rossi. Then it's the local flavour of the Vancouver Canadians, Sam Shaw from Victoria, who talks about his baseball journey and what it's like to play for the C's. Plus, Sam has hot takes on the Canucks! All that, plus the Jays keep winning , the Whitecaps announce their latest signing, and a BC tennis legend calls it a career!

In the first full show since the Canucks' trade of Dakota Joshua, Matt and Blake take a look at the move and all the pros and cons of bailing on the new contract after just one year. The guys look at the likelihood of the Canucks using the new cap space immediately vs waiting, and the possibility of a signing vs a trade. RinkWide's Jeff Paterson stops in to provide his reaction to the deal, and where that leaves the Canucks forwards, and the penalty kill, as it currently stands. Jeff also gives us his reaction to the trade of Arturs Silovs and the modest return, and the importance of Canucks goaltending this season, given the apparent lack of scoring. It's also time for another edition of The Golf Report, as Schefffler romps at the Open Championship. And then the guys recaps a middling weekend for the Whitecaps and Lions, but another sweep for the Jays???

Immediately following our show today, the Canucks made a major move, trading Dakota Joshua to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Matt and Blake were on their way to a golf game, but immediately pulled over and broke the news. The guys are here with their initial reactions and thoughts around this trade and what may be coming next?

(producer disclaimer: the audio is not amazing, as the boys were literally in their cars on the way to a golf game!)

The Canucks look better and deeper on defence, but who will get the call on opening night and throughout the season? Matt and Blake take a look at guys like defencemen Elias Pettersson, Victor Mancini and Tom Willander versus veterans like Derek Forbert and P-O Joseph in the battle for minutes. The guys also tackle a particular new wrinkle in the CBA that may benefit the Canucks in their attempts to keep Quinn Hughes past his current contract. The Daily Hive's Rob WIlliams stops in to discuss the Canucks new ticket packages, big and small, and how two 8-game homestands may affect season ticket holders and the team on the ice. Rob also weighs in on the likely priorities for Adam Foote on defence, and whether making more trades to open cap space makes sense if it comes at the expense of guys like Blueger and Joshua. Postmedia's Patrick Johnson has thoughts on the defence setup as well, and strong beliefs on the impact Willander could have as early as this season. PJ dives deep into the retention of Hughes and thinks the Canucks certainly gained some ground with the new CBA. Patrick also stacks up the Canucks goaltending and defence corps against the rest of the league. The guys then finish up with a look back at the Whitecaps dominating win in Houston, the Lions' injury report, and the early results for the Canadians at The Open Championship!
