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 Scheffler romps at the Open Championship. And then the guys recaps a middling weekend for the Whitecaps and Lions, but another sweep for the Jays???

You forgot about JT Miller, Carson Soucy , V Podkolzin
Hi I don't like the Joshua trade definitely not enough for why not get Domi in return he is a center. They should have traded Hoglander for a 4rth
We’d have over 8 million in cap space if it wasn’t for bennings oel trade. That’s really fucking with our team
Ribs are awesome just seasoned like that Matt
I just really want to see marco rossi join this team. A young center with big upside would be good. That or else offer an arm and a leg for mctavish. He would make this team a true cup contender
Ok,,, I wonder if they are trying to construct a roster that doesn't have any real superstars but alot of " good " players. This process will give them depth in the lineup with more of a next up attitude. Look at the Panthers or the lightning, or Dallas. No big superstars just more good players throughout the lineup. Teams like Edmonton although great, the bottom of the lineup gets exposed come playoff time due to paying their superstars so much leaving less for bottom 6.
There was a reason Joshua was available from StLouis, a big body that is inconsistent and doesn't bring it every night like a Sherwood
Who cares if they got Joshua for nothing, got some good value for a year, and then offloaded him for a draft pick? It's not like they had to buy him out or attach an asset to get rid of him. It's just not that big of a deal.
If there was no trade in place, then we should’ve kept Dak. Why sell him for a 4th… it’s peanuts and it’s for 2027 or 28.
If Dak rebounded, we could keep him and trade others…. Or, at the least, trade him for a 2nd or 3rd, and potentially use him as a toss in for a D man.
There was no point in trading him this early for peanuts.
Can any player issues be attributed to a lack of a proper practice facility?
lol that’s awesome about rapping 2pac in a BNL cover, I need to see that! Also, dry spice rubbed ribs are waaay better.
7:02 wow the disrespect shown to Sam Lafferty for not mentioning his name
Honestly does everyone forget that shortly after finding his game again aftrr his cancer recovery he went out the knee injury and had to find game yet again after that. This season was a complete right off for him. I can see him having a good season and he he does
Jeff my guy. Please shorten your answers. Jesus
How can a contract make a player better? Either the guy is a quality player and has the ability to perform or not. You can have 10 guys on the team for $1 million and that may look like great contracts but if they’re useless, they’re useless. and this may be part of the team‘s problem or management’s problem or scoutings problem. When Adam Oates played for Washington, he may have got 10 goals a year. Was that a problem? absolutely not. Because he had way more abilities and skills than just scoring goals. One needs to judge a player not just on one thing. Not just goals. Not just speed. Not just back check. Not just penalty kill. We knew Mikheyev had speed. But we also knew he had no finish. They still brought them in and paid extra bucks.We need to look at more players that have multiple skills within. They may not be high profile yet, but we may need to take a chance on some that have proven they have multiple skills.
greek lemon ribs yum
