Sekeres & Price Show

Matt and co-host Jeff Paterson discuss the Canucks practice facility already hitting a snag, the concerns of minor hockey groups and an alternative at the PNE. They also discuss former Canucks owner Arthur Griffiths' bid for the Whitecaps, which was reported over the long weekend. Plus, Canucks prospects at the World Junior Summer Showcase.

Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster joins to discuss a 1-1 draw with LAFC before 40K at BC Place, Thomas Muller on form, Ryan Gauld finding it, replacements for Seb Berhalter and a setback for Ranko Veselinović. Schuster says 90 groups have kicked the clubs tires, that he does talk to Griffiths, that a new owner would have to be committed to the community and a timeline for action. He's also asked if the club is interested in buying BC Place.

Patrick Johnston of Postmedia stops by to defend his report of the Canucks slashing payroll after GM Ryan Johnson objected last week. He talks practice facility, the confusion about whether BC Place is for sale, and whether money is a problem for a Zeev Buium contract extension.

The Canucks finally grab some headlines with news on a practice facility but is it really news? Matt and Blake take a look at the news release and if it really signals the chance for the 32nd and final practice facility in the NHL. The guys also look at all the noise around the MLB bid in Vancouver and whether it's viable and time to be taking it seriously. Harman Dayal joins from The Athletic with a further breakdown on what he's seeing with EP40 and whether there is a solution to make him more productive or at least a better asset for trade. He also talks about the value of a practice facility for the Canucks and his review of the lower cost hires around the organization. Then it's The Sheet's Jeff Marek stopping by to discuss his latest viral moment and his reaction to the dream of a Bedard-Celebrini reunion as Canucks someday. He also talks about Cootes and Malhotra's chances to be 1-2 centres at the World Juniors, and the change to NHL games streaming in the playoffs. Matt and Blake finish up with more on a possible BC Place takeover by the local teams, plus, the Whitecaps sign a player and prepare for a huge one vs LAFC. The BC Lions need a win in Winnipeg, and the Jays are about to make a bunch of trades!

Hockey news is back on the front burner as North Van's Macklin Celebrini signs with the Sharks for the highest cap hit in NHL history. Matt and Blake take a look at the deal for the local boy and what it means for his possible free agency in 6 years time. The guys debate whether he or Conor Bedard will ever don a Canucks uniform. The guys also dive into the newly announced Amazon Prime NHL deal that will see the streamer get a few playoff series. The guys get into the impacts for the consumer after seeing the Prime product this season. The Daily Hive's Rob Williams stops by to discuss the possibility of the local superstars uniting in Vancouver one day. He gets into the 2 Canucks prospects getting big roles at the Canadian Junior Summer Showcase, and what the latest Canucks' marketing campaign may say about the team's plans and priorities with certain players. They also bounced the future of BC Place off of each other as the concept of privatization continues to float around. Then, it's MLB.com's Keegan Matheson with the lowdown on what has gone terribly wrong for the Jays this season and what might be their path out of it for next year. He gets into trade scenarios for the current Jays roster and maybe even some player acquisition if the fit is right. The guys wrap up the show with a preview of the Whitecaps this weekend as Berhalter says goodbye, the BC Lions prep for a new QB tomorrow, and the NBA is back for another game this fall!

It's another big Monday wrap up for the guys with new on the Canucks, Lions and Whitecaps. Matt and Blake begin with a debate on any possible new ownership of BC Place stadium, and how that could affect the two tenant teams involved.

Plus, they take a peek at the weekend performances of the Canucks prospects at the Junior Summer Showcase. TSN's Farhan Lalji stops by to get into the weeds on the stadium issue.
