Matt and guest co-host Farhan Lalji from Super Bowl discuss the makeover of the Canucks; the availability of Carson Soucy via trade; and whether J.T. Miller belongs in the Canucks' Ring of Honour. We get Farhan's thoughts on if they're a better team following two big trades; whether moving Soucy is wise; how they'll sort the goaltending going forward; and what happened to get to this point. The guys also discuss Super Bowl 59 between Kansas City and Philadelphia and the B.C. Lions in free agency.
John Shannon stops by and says he's disappointed that Miller is gone, even if he understands it. He really likes newcomers Drew O'Connor and Victor Mancini, but says the most important guy in the trades is a guy who wasn't a part of those trades: Elias Pettersson. He remains bullish on the Canucks' playoff chances and is thrilled that Rick Tocchet can finally get back to coaching.
Cam Robinson is coolish on the Canucks' deals. He's fine with the Miller deal but doesn't like that they had to surrender a first-round pick in the Marcus Pettersson trade. He says there should be a market for Soucy but wonders why the Canucks would move a potential playoff contributor after making a trade for two unrestricted free agents. He doesn't see a fit for Ottawa's Josh Norris, even if he loves the idea of acquiring Quinn Hughes' best friend. And he says Miller falls short of Ring of Honour worthiness.
