Canucks Talk

Jannik Hansen joins the show to explain why, no matter the opponent, the best player on the ice seems to be wearing the other jersey. The guys dig into Brock Boeser’s slump and why he needs a true play-driving center to thrive as a complementary scorer. They also debate the ceilings of Willander and Buium, and whether Buium can eventually quarterback the Canucks’ power play. Plus, a clear call to action: sell Kiefer Sherwood now and bring back assets fans can actually get excited about. ESPN's Ryan Clark joins the show for a league wide look at things.

The Canucks open a six-game road trip in Buffalo, prompting a surprising discussion about what Vancouver can actually learn from the Sabres during down years. The focus quickly shifts to Kiefer Sherwood, as reports surface of a credible four-year offer worth $4–5 million annually, a move that raises serious questions about planning and asset management. With Sherwood’s camp believing he can do better on the open market, the guys argue his trade value could reach a first-round pick. This is framed as a rare “gimme putt” for the Canucks: trade Sherwood for value now, or risk turning a clear win into a disaster.

Landon Ferraro joins the show to break down what went wrong for Canada at the World Juniors, why the fear factor is gone, and how NHL-ready talent like Celebrini or Schaefer could have changed the outcome. The conversation shifts to the Canucks’ direction, with Ferraro arguing development should take priority, veterans must be moved for assets, and Kiefer Sherwood should be traded immediately at peak value. They examine how teams like the Bruins have successfully retooled on the fly and why Vancouver has nothing left to preserve. Plus, thoughts on the impact of the World Juniors on the race for first overall and what it means for the Canucks’ long-term plan.

Jamie and Thomas lay it out plainly: this Canucks team isn’t good enough, and any fear of rebuilding should be gone as Vancouver sinks deeper into the standings. With no game-breaking offence and Pettersson contributing defensively but not on the scoresheet, the case is made to fully commit to the rebuild and escape the mushy middle, even if it means accelerating painful decisions. They also react to Canada’s disappointing World Juniors exit, questioning whether skill-over-structure failed on the biggest stage. Plus, Elliotte Friedman’s latest on Sherwood negotiations and what it means with the Canucks sitting 31st overall and staring at long playoff odds.
