The list narrows for the Canucks as the GM search nears a conclusion. Matt and Blake delve into the debate of Ryan Johnson vs Evan Gold, examing their resumes and the fanbase reaction should either get the gig. The guys also look at the comments of Caleb Malhotra after he was asked about the possibility of becoming a Canuck, and his thoughts on possibly playing for his dad. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by to talk about the lottery results and his hot take on whether this is the year that trades of top 10 picks getting traded. Marek weighs in on what happens with the Sharks at number 2 and if the Blackhawks are looking to make a splash at the draft. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams joins as well and has thoughts on the possibility of the Malhotras being in Vancouver. He also talks about fan confidence in the Canucks GM search and whether the 2 finalists will get a passing grade from the diehards. Then some Whitecaps chat as MLS analyst Sascha Kljestan drops by to talk about the 1st vs 2nd showdown of the Whitecaps vs Earthquakes, the relocation talk, and a World Cup preview as well. Finally, Matt and Blake get into the latest Alphonso Davies injury, the 'Caps open the upper deck in August, the BC Lions open camp and make a big cut already, plus the C's get back into the column.

The boys debate the Malhotras and which one is likely to be a part of the team long term. Should the Canucks prioritize one vs the other? TSN's Frank Corrado stops by for more Lottery and Draft talk as he gives his thoughts on it'll all transpire, including his bold thought on the Sharks at number 2. Frank also talks about the possible Canucks' positional priority vs drafting a top end winger if one is available.

The day after the Canucks learn their lottery fate, attention turns to the events of NHL draft day! Matt and Blake dive into the delicious decisions ahead as the organization begins to sculpt its future. The guys look at the consensus top 5-6 picks and mock up where it could all lead. Then it's a listen to outgoing president Jim Rutherford's answers from yesterday, as the team continues its search for a new GM and decides who will be making the final hockey decisions going forward. There's news on the Canucks at the World Hockey Championships too! Steven Ellis of Daily Faceoff drops in with his favourites in the draft and what he sees going down in late June. Steven has his theories on the Sharks intentions and how that could trickle down to the Canucks and beyond. Dave Hall of the new Blackfish show also stops by his player rankings right now and how the Canucks needs intersect with "best player available". Dave also talks about how the delay in the Canucks' GM hire may affect the draft and what the Swedish Canucks could get out of a World Championship experience. All of that, plus, the Whitecaps meet the media to discuss their future, the Jays are getting healthier, the M's are getting power from their lineup again!
