Ep 1104Kiefer Sherwood's THREAT revisited + will Vancouver ENFORCE 'The Code?' | Locked On Canucks

It's been seven months since the Vancouver Canucks playoff hopes died at Rogers Arena. Jason Dickinson killed the Canucks playoff hopes in 2025 when he smashed Filip Chytil's face into the glass, giving the centre his fifth career concussion. Now, Kiefer Sherwood's quote, "we'll get him next year," is coming back to the forefront. On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the hockey code, whether the Canucks are tough enough, and what revenge looks like. They also talk about the debut of the Abbotsford Canucks line and whether the Vancouver Canucks may have some triplet magic in their organization.

Ep 1103POSTCAST: Pettersson Shines Bright In Dallas | Canucks Beat the Stars

zThe Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson beat the Dallas Stars and....Elias Pettersson's Demon. No, for real, the game started with an own goal from Mr.11.6 which lead to more momentum for the home team from Texas. Boom Bam, just like that it was 2-0 after 20 Minutes since Rantanen had to create havoc in my mind. But then, the Canucks exploded for four goals in the second and saw the return (sort-of) from Elias Pettersson. Let's talk about it.

Ep 1101What if Alex Tuch & Tage Thompson Are Available In Buffalo? | Locked On Canucks

Canucks Eye Tuch or Thompson? | Trade Speculation & What It Would Mean for Vancouver If both the Sabres and the Canucks are underperforming (and more importantly, struggling to break through), maybe a trade could be the kind of gamble that changes everything. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we explore the realistic paths and risks of Vancouver trading for Alex Tuch or Tage Thompson — and how either move could reshape their forward group overnight. 🔍 Trade Targets to Watch Alex Tuch Tuch is entering the final year of his current contract with a $4.75 million cap hit and has a five-team no-trade clause, making a potential trade possible if Buffalo doesn’t reach a new deal. He had a 36-goal season last year, showing he still has plenty of scoring punch. Buffalo is reportedly contemplating whether to extend Tuch or shop him, especially given the risk of him walking in free agency.NHL Trade Rumors For Vancouver, acquiring Tuch would add a power forward with scoring, two-way ability, and a relatively manageable contract. Tage Thompson While Tuch is more frequently floated, Thompson’s name is emerging in trade rumor circles as Buffalo’s struggles intensify. He has a bigger cap hit (~$7.14 million) and more risk, but also more upside as a top-six winger if he clicks in the right situation. Thompson could bring more dynamic goal-scoring upside, but would require a bigger asset package. And lastly, do you give up on Elias Pettersson to make this all happen?

Ep 1100Evander Kane's Playing More Than Pettersson + Vancouver Sends Cootes to Seattle | Locked On Canucks

Is Kane Getting More Ice Than Pettersson? | Why That Might Be the Worst Lineup Mistake Is Vancouver making one of its biggest mistakes yet by giving Evander Kane more total ice time than Elias Pettersson? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we dig into recent shift and usage numbers, question whether that deployment makes any logical sense, and argue why Pettersson deserves more responsibility if Vancouver wants to be competitive. We’ll cover: The ice time split: Kane’s minutes vs. Pettersson’s, and how that compares to what you’d expect for your #1 forward. Why giving Kane more opportunity over Pettersson might signal lack of trust—or a short-term thinking approach. What it says about coaching philosophy: are they cautious because Pettersson hasn't shown form? Or are they trying to preserve him? Why to get the best out of Pettersson, you have to play through the rough patches, not sideline him. How this usage decision could affect chemistry, confidence, and lineup balance deep into the season. If Pettersson is going to reclaim elite form, the pathway is consistent ice, matchups, and trust. This isn’t about ego—it’s about getting the maximum out of your top weapon.

Ep 1099POSTCAST: We Sherwood Love to Avoid the Pettersson Talk | Vancouver Canucks lose to St. Louis Blues

Game Recap: Blues 5, Canucks 2 Jimmy Snuggerud scored twice, pacing St. Louis to a 5–2 win over Vancouver.Brayden Schenn added a goal and an assist, while Nick Bjugstad and Jake Neighbours also got goals for the Blues. For Vancouver, Kiefer Sherwood was the lone bright spot with two goals, including one short-handed tally. Kevin Lankinen started in net and made 30 saves, but gave up five goals on 35 shots. The Blues struck early and often, including a power-play goal by Snuggerud and a 3-on-2 rush that restored their two-goal cushion. 🔍 Key Notes & TakeawaysThe Canucks’ penalty kill, which had been spotless, finally cracked: Snuggerud scored on the power play—Vancouver’s first goal allowed in that area this season. Vancouver showed spirit by getting goals back in the second via Sherwood, but couldn’t maintain momentum. Offensively, other than Sherwood, the Canucks were quiet. The top lines struggled to consistently generate quality chances. Defensively, the Blues’ transition game and odd-man rushes exposed some holes. Lankinen’s stat line indicates he kept the game within reach, but the team in front of him needs to limit high-danger chances.

Ep 1097Demko, Lankinen & The Goalie Plan + Flames Recap & Oilers Preview | Locked On Canucks

Demko, Lankinen & The Goalie Plan | Flames Recap + Oilers Preview The Vancouver Canucks might finally be learning from their past. After years of overworking Thatcher Demko, the team appears set to share the crease more strategically this season — and Kevin Lankinen might just be the key to keeping Demko fresh and elite when it matters most. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why balancing the workload could be the difference between burning out early and building a legitimate playoff run. We’ll also recap last night’s 5–1 win over the Calgary Flames, where Demko looked sharp early, the defense settled in around Quinn Hughes, and the forward group continued to build chemistry heading into the regular season. Then, we look ahead to tomorrow vs. the Edmonton Oilers — a chance for Lankinen to make a statement of his own.

Ep 1094Why Size Doesn’t Matter In Vancouver | Locked On Canucks

They say size doesn't matter. They say age is just a number. We're about to find out of those things are true for your Vancouver Canucks. On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan dive into the data about the Canucks being one of the youngest and lightest teams in the NHL. Will that be an issue for the Canucks? How have recent cup champions fared in the age and weight department? They also get into lineup decisions that may soon be reversed, including Evander Kane's spot on PP1, and what happens once Teddy Blueger returns. They boys also touch on two very different debuts for former Canucks with other teams. I guess this somewhat of a 2025 Canucks Season Preview.

This deal doesn’t just change things for Edmonton — it adds layers to the narrative around Quinn Hughes, Vancouver’s captain, and the broader rivalry between these franchises. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down: 🔍 What McDavid’s Deal Means McDavid’s AAV is now reportedly $12.5 million, ensuring he remains the face and engine of Edmonton’s core. The extension removes immediate uncertainty over his future, giving Edmonton stability and enabling them to build around him with confidence. ⚔️ The Quinn Hughes Connection & Implications for Vancouver With McDavid off the “contract debate table,” this puts more pressure on Quinn Hughes to match or outlast the benchmark being set by superstar deals. Analysts like Frankie Corrado suggest that Quinn’s upcoming extension could become “a huge dollar figure,” thanks to comparisons with deals like McDavid’s and Kaprizov’s. The contrast is stark: McDavid secures his future, while Quinn must navigate meeting expectations in Vancouver, dealing with speculation about playing with his brothers, and proving his worth in a market hungry for success.This extension indirectly elevates Quinn’s negotiating position — but also raises the bar. 🎯 What Vancouver Must Do Quinn has to continue delivering at an elite level. Every costly contract in the NHL is held to harsh scrutiny. The Canucks need to be aggressive in surrounding him with supporting pieces, so his production isn’t carried alone. And from a narrative standpoint, they can no longer use McDavid’s uncertainty as a talking point — Vancouver must now define itself in contrast.

Ep 1091Vancouver Makes Their Decisions | Locked On Canucks [BAD AUDIO]

It’s decision day for Vancouver. The Canucks have officially sent Victor Mancini and Tom Willander to the AHL’s Abbotsford Canucks as part of their final roster cuts. In today’s episode of Locked On Canucks, we dig into:Why these cuts make sense — despite Mancini’s strong preseason showing (two goals, big minutes), he was waived because of contract flexibility. Willander, a former first-rounder, still has development ahead. What roles remain open — with these veterans cut, younger players like Braeden Cootes have essentially locked their roster spots, pushing other names to prove theirs. Depth & balance implications — these moves reshape how lines, defensive pairings, and matchups might look. The coach will likely lean into trusting the core group and mix in callups when needed. What to watch in Abbotsford — both Mancini and Willander will get heavy minutes, responsibility, and the chance to force their way back up. Their performance will be a metric for next season’s push. Vancouver’s roster is clearer now. The cuts speak louder than rumors—this is the team they believe can contend.

Ep 1090Lekkerimäki’s Shot His Shot | Canucks beat Oilers

Vancouver wrapped up their preseason with a 3-2 overtime win over Edmonton—and it wasn’t your typical exhibition. Jonathan Lekkerimäki scored twice, and Quinn Hughes picked up two assists, helping to push the game to OT. Then Conor Garland delivered the overtime dagger at 1:30. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:How Lekkerimäki’s performance—“read the rush, deceptive shot, ice awareness”—puts him firmly in the conversation for a bigger role this season. Hughes’ impact from the backend, and how his vision and timing set up Vancouver in key moments. The shifts that mattered: how Vancouver responded after Edmonton’s goals (Kapanen, Draisaitl) and forced their way back. Goaltending & defensive notes: Thatcher Demko made 25 saves in what was a solid showing under pressure. The injury concern: Elias Pettersson took an elbow to the head in period two and did not return. That’s a storyline to watch. Why This Win Is Bigger Than Preseason Closing preseason on a high matters psychologically. Showing you can win in OT vs. a loaded Oilers squad gives confidence heading into the real season. Young players stepping up in big moments (Lekkerimäki especially) could force the coaching staff into tough lineup decisions.The injury to Pettersson adds tension: will Vancouver need to lean more heavily on depth players early while he recovers?The durability, chemistry, and readjustments shown tonight help shape expectations for opening night.

Ep 1089What If Vancouver Became The Old Jersey Devils? | Locked On Canucks

The New Jersey Devils of 2003 built their dynasty around defense. Poise, structure, and elite two-way defensemen like Scott Niedermayer were their foundation. Vancouver’s version? Quinn Hughes is being asked to be that anchor—and now, with whispers and comments flying between the Hughes brothers, the storyline just got thicker. In today’s episode of Locked On Canucks, we’ll dig into: How the 2003 Devils show how “defense wins championships” — and why Vancouver is trying to echo that model with speed, but with responsibility. A side-by-side look: Niedermayer’s leadership, skating, decision-making vs. what Quinn Hughes brings in today — vision, transition, elite passing, but also expectations to be more physically and positionally dominant. What Vancouver must do to build a “2003 Devils-like” defense core — with supporting defenders, systems, and accountability — if Quinn is going to carry that weight. This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s a roadmap: if Quinn Hughes becomes Vancouver’s Niedermayer—maybe they’re crafting a new dynasty. 🎯 What We Predict for the Opening Lineup Expect the DeBrusk – Pettersson – Boeser line to return (or be close to it). That trio has chemistry and firepower. The 2nd and 3rd lines will be battles—but those with two-way reliability, speed, and the ability to kill mistakes will have the edge.On defense, the Hughes–Hronek pairing must carry heavy minutes, with veterans and younger partners held accountable. The goaltending question may be tighter: Kevin Lankinen pulled off a strong showing in past preseason matchups, and unless something dramatic happens, it’s a battle. Players like Aatu Räty or Jonathan Lekkerimäki could slot into bottom-six or second powerplay units if they keep showing in these final preseason games. The margin for error is narrow. Bottom Line: The Western Conference is stacked—but Vancouver has a realistic path. If they stay healthy, deepen their lineup, and manage matchups well, they can absolutely challenge Edmonton and others atop the standings. Tonight’s preseason game is just a microcosm of that journey—and part of what we’ll be watching closely.

Ep 1087It’s preseason but Quinn Hughes is the best player in the world | Canucks vs Flames Recap

Quinn Hughes Dominates in Canucks’ Win + Zegras Calls Him “Best Player Ever” The Vancouver Canucks just took down the Calgary Flames in preseason play, and Quinn Hughes showed why he’s still one of the most dangerous defensemen in the league. He added the 7th goal for Vancouver off an odd-man rush with Boeser, making a clear statement. Meanwhile, Trevor Zegras is raising eyebrows in another city—telling ESPN: “I never want to play Quinn ever again. He’s the best hockey player of all time.” That’s bold praise, and one you won’t want to ignore. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down: The key plays from Vancouver’s win over Calgary—how they did it, what worked, and where they improved.Quinn Hughes’ impact: both offensively and defensively, and why he’s carrying the team’s identity forward. The implications of Zegras’ comment: what it says about Quinn’s reputation around the league, and how it fuels the narrative in Vancouver.Roster dynamics following the win: who looked good, who’s making pushing arguments, and what the coaching staff might take away heading into the regular season. Why this matters: Games like this set tone and build confidence. For Quinn, it’s more than just one game — it’s validation at every level: from the locker room, the coaching staff, and now even his peers around the league. #canucks #VancouverCanucks #QuinnHughes #TrevorZegras #NHLPreseason #Hockey #LockedOnCanucks #CanucksNews Join Kyle's Discord: / discord Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1086Hughes News & Vancouver's Final Roster Decisions | Locked On Canucks

Big news: Luke Hughes has signed a 7-year, $63 million extension with the New Jersey Devils, locking in a long-term future in New Jersey. With that settled, pressure mounts on Quinn Hughes’ future in Vancouver and on the Canucks’ decision-making as preseason wraps up. Meanwhile, Vancouver has two more preseason games left, and the final cut decisions are looming. One name to watch: Aatu Räty. He’s fighting for a roster spot, and a leap forward now could turn him from fringe prospect into real contributor. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we dig into: 🔍 Luke Hughes’ Extension & the Quinn Hughes NarrativeLuke’s deal removes uncertainty: the younger Hughes has a future locked in New Jersey. That changes the dynamic entirely if there was ever speculation Quinn could join him. For Vancouver, that means they have to plan without counting on reuniting the Hughes defense pairing. Quinn’s trade value, contract extension strategy, and place within the organization need to be clearly defined now.The narrative around Quinn’s “return home” or moving east loses some fuel now that Luke’s committed to a long run in New Jersey. 🏒 Preseason, Cuts, & Räty’s Shot to ShineWith just two preseason games remaining, the Canucks must make final roster cuts, especially among bottom-six forwards and middle-6 center slots.Aatu Räty has been drawing attention this camp: in past NHL stints, he’s shown promise—7 goals in 33 games, solid faceoff metrics, and confidence in his game. Canucks Army has laid out his updated ceiling using comparables and how his skillset (faceoffs, positional play, two-way upside) could become useful in a role. Analysts note that Räty’s style may not be flashy, but checking boxes in reliability, improving habits, and being trustworthy in defensive zone could make him a surprise contributor this season. If Räty takes a step up in these last games, he could be the “sleeper” the team leans on when injuries or hot stretches hit.

Ep 1085Pettersson’s Deal Could Be the Best in the NHL After Kaprizov Signs With Wild | Locked On Canucks

Just when you thought salary cap talk couldn’t get spicier, Kirill Kaprizov has inked a jaw-dropping 8-year, $136 million extension with the Minnesota Wild (AAV $17 million). That’s not just the biggest contract in Wild history — it’s now one of the richest in NHL history. So what does that mean for Vancouver, for Pettersson, and for perceptions of value in an NHL where money and performance are always under a microscope? In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down: 🔍 What Kaprizov’s Deal Does to the Cap & Comparisons to Pettersson’s Deal Kaprizov’s new contract begins in 2026-27, and carries a $17 million cap hit per season. Compare that to Elias Pettersson’s $11.6M cap hit — if Pettersson returns to elite form, that gap could make Vancouver’s gamble look remarkably shrewd. The Wild just made the maximum bet on Kaprizov. That kind of financial commitment creates immediate expectations — it puts pressure on every other team’s stars to validate their contracts too. Kaprizov’s contract now sets a new benchmark. It forces every GM, including those in Vancouver, to think: Am I getting equal value from my big contracts? ⚡ Why Pettersson’s Contract Now Looks Like a Bargain (If He Delivers) If Pettersson plays like the “alien” again — dominant, dynamic, game-changing — his $11.6M AAV becomes a massive discount relative to Kaprizov’s new deal. That gives Vancouver leverage in future roster building. Having a high-end performer at “moderate” cost frees up cap flexibility to build depth.It quiets critics. Critics who once questioned Pettersson’s contract will now be compared to Minnesota’s worst nightmare — overspending. ✅ What This Means for the Canucks Moving Forward Vancouver needs consistency. With Kaprizov’s deal shifting market expectations upward, Pettersson can’t afford extended slumps. The front office is under pressure too. Building around Pettersson with supporting cast players is more urgent now. Kaprizov’s contract also signals that teams are more willing than ever to bet big on a star’s long-term value. The arms race for top forwards just got hotter. Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1084The Hoglander News is BAD & Rutherford talks everything Vancouver Canucks again

Watch Rutherfords interview here: https://youtu.be/sydYLlsgxgU?feature=shared Bad news for Vancouver fans: forward Nils Höglander has undergone surgery for a lower-body injury and is expected to miss 8–10 weeks. The injury stemmed from a preseason game, and the timing couldn’t be worse as camp ramps up and the roster tightens. On the flip side, Jim Rutherford recently appeared on 100% Hockey / related interviews, delivering optimistic updates about the organization — including strong confidence in securing a dedicated practice facility for the team. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we dig into:🔍 What We Know About the Höglander InjuryAccording to multiple sources, Höglander required lower-body surgery to repair the damage, forcing him into a recovery timeline of two to two-and-a-half months.Yahoo Sports The organization initially labeled it as “week-to-week,” but the surgery reveal confirmed a much longer absence. Last season, Höglander put up 25 points in 72 games, down from a career high in goals a couple of seasons ago. He had signed a multi-year extension prior to this season, so this injury now puts added pressure on both his return and on the Canucks’ depth. Canucks Army and fans on social media (X/Twitter) quickly reacted, with many noteing that his absence will stretch Vancouver’s forward rotation and could force younger players or callups into roles earlier than expected. 🗣 What Rutherford Is Saying & What it MeansIn a recent 100% Hockey interview, Rutherford revealed he’s “more optimistic today than he has ever been” about the Canucks securing a dedicated practice facility — something he sees as a key piece of organizational growth and infrastructure. Rutherford’s broader messaging has been one of steady building — raising cultural expectations, investing in internal assets (prospects, facilities), and reinforcing that this team must be able to absorb setbacks like injuries and still compete. That optimism from Rutherford underscores a management attitude: even with a hurt core piece like Höglander, the franchise isn’t backing down. They believe in having the structure, depth, and support systems to push through. ⚡ Why This Changes the Early Narrative for VancouverHöglander’s absence opens a hole on the wing. The team will need to adjust lines, lean more heavily on depth and prospects, and manage minutes carefully. For Rutherford and Allvin, this is a test: can they handle adversity mid-camp with competence and integrity? Their response will reveal how serious the front office is about being ready, not reactive. From a fan perspective, the injury adds weight to expectations for other forwards — whether it’s DeBrusk, Chytil, Lekkerimäki, or others. The spotlight is even more intense now. Rutherford’s push for improved infrastructure (practice facility, etc.) suggests the front office is trying to build resilience into the system so injuries don’t derail the season.

Ep 1083Jonathan Lekkerimaki Comparisons + Vancouver Canucks make roster cuts

Jonathan Lekkerimäki Could Make an Impact ASAP | Näslund Comparisons + Canucks Cuts Update The Vancouver Canucks are closer to seeing Jonathan Lekkerimäki make waves than most realize. He’s already showing signs of being a high-upside offensive weapon—and when you compare his trajectory to Markus Näsllund, you begin to see how similar paths of steady growth and scoring instinct could set Lekkerimäki up for early success. Meanwhile, as the roster takes shape, the Canucks have already made several cuts this preseason that highlight where Lekkerimäki and others might fit. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down: 🔥 Lekkerimäki’s Rising Stock & Näslund Echoes Lekkerimäki is no stranger to elite company—he already joined the club of Markus Näslund, Peter Forsberg, and Thomas Gradin for certain scoring feats in Europe. In his first full AHL / North American season, Lekkerimäki tallied 19 goals and 12 assists in 46 games with Abbotsford, showing he can translate his European pedigree into production. Canucks Army describes him as “underrated” and notes that, among Vancouver’s prospects, he has the largest sample size and is one of the few already adjusted to North American-style play. His shot, scoring instincts, versatility, and potential to influence power-play or top-six roles mirror how Näslund gradually emerged as a key piece in Vancouver’s core through work ethic and consistency. ✂️ Recent Cuts & Roster Moves That MatterThe Canucks placed Joe Labate, Mackenzie MacEachern, Jiri Patera, and Jimmy Schuldt on waivers to send them to the AHL, indicating fewer spaces and more competition at forward and depth positions. Nine players were cut from the preseason roster, solidifying the roster count and demonstrating which roles are now locked. On defense, top prospect Sawyer Mynio was assigned to Abbotsford. While timely for his development, this cut also signals that not all young d-men are being pressed into NHL roles yet.Vancouver Is Awesome These moves tighten the window for prospects to slip into the lineup—and for someone like Lekkerimäki, the path is clearer now: if he’s ready, there may not be room for hesitation. 💡 Why Lekkerimäki’s Timing Might Be Perfect With cuts being made and forward depth being tested, Lekkerimäki might find openings earlier than expected. he team’s willingness to move on from fringe players shows that the margin for performance is thin—and a guy already showing scoring touch could get a look faster. The Näslund-style comparison gives fans and media a narrative: if Lekkerimäki can mature steadily and stay consistent, he could grow into a star the way Näslund did—not overnight, but through persistent development.

Ep 1082If Ryan O'Reilly can do it, Braeden Cootes can do it too.

Could Braeden Cootes become the Vancouver Canucks’ version of Ryan O’Reilly in 2009? Back in ‘09, O’Reilly shocked the hockey world by making the Colorado Avalanche roster at 18 years old as a second-round pick. He wasn’t flashy, but he played a responsible 200-foot game, filled a desperate need at centre, and earned the respect of veterans with his work ethic and maturity. That rookie season, O’Reilly put up 26 points while playing tough matchups — a feat that helped stabilize Colorado’s lineup. Fast forward to 2025, and the Canucks find themselves in a similar spot. Depth down the middle remains one of the franchise’s biggest question marks, and Cootes, at just 18, has already shown the poise, compete level, and hockey IQ that screams “NHL-ready.” His camp performance has turned heads, and like O’Reilly, his skillset isn’t built on flash but on reliability, smarts, and consistency. For Vancouver, this could be the story of necessity meeting opportunity. Just as Colorado needed O’Reilly to step in and play above his age, the Canucks may find themselves leaning on Cootes earlier than expected. If he delivers, the ripple effect could change the balance of their roster — and maybe even the trajectory of this team’s season.

Ep 1081BREAKING: Proof that Quinn Hughes is staying with the Vancouver Canucks forever

Adam Foote might be on a mission to be the greatest coach in Vancouver Canucks history. And clearly, he has a great relationship with Quinn Hughes. On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about the PROOF that Foote revealed about Quinn Hughes' future in Vancouver. Maybe, it isn't as uncertain as we think. The curse of Beggsy lives on, as we know more about the severity of Nils Hoglander's injury. The boys debate about who has the best chance to step up in his absence.

Ep 1079NHL's SMALLEST forward is the Vancouver Canucks BIGGEST difference maker

If the Vancouver Canucks want to be a contender, they're going to need career-best seasons a number of forwards. While there are a few candidates, like Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser and Filip Chytil, there's one guy that hasn't been mentioned much. Funny, because he led all Canucks forwards in points last season. On this episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan tell you why Conor Garland is finally set to break out beyond his typical 20-goal, 50-point production.

Ep 1078The Canucks and Penguins could make this trade after all..

Cue the eyeroll... But wait, not so fast. Sidney Crosby to the Vancouver Canucks isn't totally impossible. And, a recent report from The Athletic suggests that the Canucks might have one of the best chances to land him among anyone in the NHL, even if they aren't the top suitor. On today's episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan dive into the odds of the Canucks striking a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins this season, and see whether guys like Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Rickard Rakell could make sense for the Canucks, and what those packages might be. They also get into the latest news surrounding your Canucks after another practice on Tuesday morning.

Ep 1076Chytil and Cootes are the center of attention at Vancouver Canucks Training Camp

Day two of Vancouver Canucks training camp didn’t disappoint—young Braeden Cootes and Filip Chytil are standing out, and if the early signs are anything to go by, both could make a big impact this season. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down what we saw from them, how they might fit, and why the stakes are rising. 🔍 What We’re Seeing From Cootes & Chytil Braeden Cootes, Vancouver’s 2025 first-round pick (15th overall), looked sharp and engaged. Despite some chatter about him being held out of certain games for precautionary reasons, the word from camp is he’s expected to be ready and healthy. Cootes has shown good stickwork, awareness, and a maturity beyond his years when it comes to reading plays during drills. Many at camp are already asking: Can he make the opening night lineup? Filip Chytil is also getting noticed—not just for his skill with the puck but his offseason work, conditioning, and how he’s tracking every drill with intensity. He’s being viewed as more than just a middle-6 forward; there’s a belief he could push toward top-6 contributions if everything clicks. Twitter reactions are echoing it: some analysts have highlighted Chytil’s importance because Vancouver is riding a thin margin at center depth, and Chytil being healthy and productive could make a difference. ⚡ Why This Matters & What To Watch Depth & flexibility: If Cootes earns trust early, he might force the coaches to make some tough decisions, maybe opening the door for lineup surprises. Chytil being ready adds insurance in case of injury or slumps up the middle.Momentum & confidence: Strong showings in early camp matter—coaches notice who shows up ready and who still looks rusty. That can affect ice time, which leads to role. Chemistry building: Chytil has opportunity beside established forwards; Cootes is learning how to handle the pace and physicality. If they find chemistry with veterans, that’ll look good on roster sheets.Expectation management: With Cootes, there was concern with precautionary rest; now that’s been put to bed, expectations rise. Chytil’s consistency matters even more now. Bottom Line:Day two suggests Cootes might not just be a “prospect project”—he could be a real contributor sooner than later. Chytil’s showing that he isn’t going to just settle; he wants a role, and he’s earning it. For Vancouver, that could mean more internal competition, more offense, more reliability.

Ep 1075why this will be the Vancouver Canucks top line

The Vancouver Canucks kicked off training camp with a statement: Jake DeBrusk, Elias Pettersson, and Brock Boeser were reunited as the top forward line. It’s a high-stakes combo, and in this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why this could be the spark the team needs for 2025-26. Here’s what we’re diving into: 🔍 What We Learned Day One Headline: Pettersson back with DeBrusk and Boeser — one of the clearest signals yet that the coaching staff believes in chemistry and scoring synergy among proven vets. Supporting lines: Evander Kane skating with Filip Chytil and Conor Garland; young guns like Jonathan Lekkerimäki being tested in top-6 forward pressure roles. Defensively, the blue line pairings look to be clicking early, with Quinn Hughes + Filip Hronek leading the top pair. That stability on the back end could allow the forwards more freedom. ⚡ Why This Top Line Could WorkProven chemistry: Boeser and Pettersson have played together before; adding DeBrusk brings a different style but one that complements Pettersson’s vision and Boeser’s shot.Balance of grit and finish: DeBrusk gives a physical dimension, Boeser and Pettersson bring finish and playmaking. That could help in tight games where momentum swings matter.Leadership & experience: All three have been through high pressure in playoff races and big games; their veteran presence could help stabilize younger or erratic players. Rekindling offense: Vancouver had offensive lapses last season. Putting your top guys together early could set the tone for aggressive attack, high puck possession, and hopefully more consistent goals. Bottom Line:This line reuniting isn’t just nostalgia—it’s a bet. A bet that combining dynamic playmakers with experience and chemistry can lift Vancouver past last year’s inconsistencies. Foote, Allvin, and the staff are sending a message: they believe this core can deliver. If this line clicks, it could push the Canucks back into contention.

Ep 1072Miller vs Pettersson: the NHL's biggest rivalry won't go away

The pressure is on in both markets. Elias Pettersson is tasked with carrying the Vancouver Canucks back to true contender status, while J.T. Miller just got named the captain of the New York Rangers. Two different paths, but their stories remain linked. Vancouver chose Pettersson as the franchise cornerstone. New York handed Miller the “C” in the world’s biggest hockey market. Both are under immediate pressure to deliver playoff results — and their leadership styles, personalities, and reputations will be compared all season long. In this episode, we break down: 🔥 Why Pettersson and Miller are destined to be tied together 🔥 The weight of captaincy in New York vs. being “the alien” in Vancouver 🔥 How Miller’s swagger could drive the Rangers — and how Pettersson’s revenge tour could fuel the Canucks 🔥 Why this brewing rivalry might become one of the biggest NHL storylines in 2025–26 Two stars. Two cities. Two legacies on the line. Who rises? Oh ya, Manny Malhotra just signed an extension with the Vancouver Canucks. #VancouverCanucks #NewYorkRangers #JTMiller #EliasPettersson #NHL #CanucksPodcast #NHL2025 #CanucksNation #Rangers JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1071The Canucks BEST prospect is again, Elias Pettersson

The Vancouver Canucks might be the only team in the NHL whose top center and top prospect defenseman share the exact same name — Elias Pettersson. One is already a superstar, the other could soon be the backbone of the blue line. And yeah, according to Thomas Drance of The Athletic, it's quite clear based on the prospect games against the Seattle Kraken this weekend that the dude is a legit NHL'er. In this episode, we dive into why Elias Pettersson (the defenseman) is the Canucks’ best prospect, what makes his game stand out compared to others in the system, and why it’s more than just a funny coincidence that Vancouver’s future might be built around two Petterssons.Irony or destiny? Either way, Canucks fans are in for something special.

Ep 1070Canucks AT RISK of losing key executive + Should fans still BELIEVE in Rutherford and Allvin?

It's been a rough 12 months for Vancouver Canucks executives Patrik Allvin and Jim Rutherford. So much so, that Allvin recently talked about how the "years are flying by." Now nearly four years into their tenure, should Canucks fans still believe in Rutherford and Allvin? On the latest episode of Locked on Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan talk about two guys facing a ton of pressure this season, and whether Canucks fans should still believe in them. They also get into a report about a Canucks executive who could reportedly be hired away by another team.

Ep 1069The Vancouver Canucks are NEVER splitting these guys up

The Hughes drama keeps simmering... Jack Hughes of the New Jersey Devils recently told Pierre LeBrun and others that “eventually I’d love to play with him” (referring to Quinn). Whether it’s in New Jersey or elsewhere, Jack made it clear that reuniting with Quinn is something he really wants. Quinn Hughes was asked about those comments too—his response was measured, focused, and resolute: “He’s my brother. What’s he supposed to say?... Would it be fun to play with those guys at some point? Of course. We do have contracts… I’m excited to be in Vancouver, and I feel like last year was a little bit of failure. So I feel like I got things to do there.” What It All Means + Why Staying in Vancouver is the Move Continuity & Trust: Quinn is captain of the Canucks, a top defenseman, and deeply invested in the team. Stability at his position matters. Chemistry with the lineup: He already has strong connections on the blue line—particularly with Filip Hronek, whose style complements Quinn’s mobility and offensive instincts. Pushing to break through will be much easier with a consistent, supportive core.Fan base & identity: Quinn’s presence in Vancouver has become part of the team’s identity. Letting that go would be risky—both in performance and in goodwill. Contract leverage & legacy: With two years left on his deal, Quinn has time to demand excellence and results. If the team delivers, he can extend feeling confident. If the team flounders, those “play with brothers” narratives just add noise. Bottom Line: Jack’s comments stirred the pot—but Quinn’s message is clear: he’s here, he wants to win here, and Vancouver is where he has unfinished business. The best path for both Quinn and the Canucks is building on last season, refining their core, and showing the kind of performance that makes “leaving” the afterthought—not the headline.

Ep 1068Do Kaprizov and Hughes get McDavid Money? + Roslovic still linked to Vancouver Canucks

The Minnesota Wild are in an unenviable position right now. They reportedly offered Kirill Kaprizov the biggest contract in NHL history, and he still said no. Can the Vancouver Canucks avoid a similar fate with Quinn Hughes? And how much money could he make on his next contract? Beggsy and Bhawan also tell you what they learned after Hughes responded to Jack Hughes' comments about the brothers playing together. Quinn Hughes also spoke for the first time about Jim Rutherford's comments about his desire to play with his brothers. The boys also get into another Jack Roslovic update, because apparently the Canucks haven't given up on signing him yet.

Ep 1067Jack Hughes has a dream & Evander Kane's "Career" year with the Vancouver Canucks

In this episode of Locked On Canucks: Jack Hughes, speaking to Pierre LeBrun, dropped a powerful hint:“Honestly, I’m not afraid to say it. Yeah, I would love for Quinn to—eventually I’d love to play with him… whether that’s in New Jersey or at what time that takes, at some point, I want to play with Quinn.” We dive into the growing narrative of the Hughes brothers reuniting, and how that shapes both Devils and Canucks strategies.Analysis on the weight behind Jim Rutherford’s comments, noting Quinn has said he wants to play with his brothers—a reality the Canucks can control if they bring Jack and Luke to Vancouver. What this all spells for Quinn’s future: Will Vancouver keep their captain or let family ties pull him east? Why this matters: It’s not just a trade rumor—it’s about identity, legacy, and one of hockey’s most compelling family sagas. #Canucks #VancouverCanucks #JackHughes #QuinnHughes #HughesBrothers #Devils #NHLTradeRumors #CanucksPodcast #LockedOnCanucks #PierreLeBrun #FamilyInHockey JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1066the Canucks duo everyone forgot about & can an angry Pettersson find positivity?

Elias Pettersson is back in Vancouver, and he isn't here to F around. At least, that's the vibe he's giving off. On the latest episode of Locked On Canucks, Beggsy and Bhawan break down media day at the "Milf," specifically Elias Pettersson's first chat with the Vancouver Canucks media. With Petey not cracking a smile, we ask, is a pissed-off Pettersson a good thing for the Canucks? Plus, the boys dig into the Pettersson and Boeser dynamic, whether or not they can fulfill their 2018 prophecy, and talk about other takeaways from the Vancouver Canucks first media availability of the season.

Ep 1064The Netflix Special about your Vancouver Canucks

What the Cowboys Netflix Doc Teaches the Canucks About Winning The new Netflix documentary on the Dallas Cowboys pulls back the curtain on one of sports’ most iconic dynasties—and buried inside is a message the Vancouver Canucks desperately need to hear. In one of the most powerful moments, Michael Irvin says: “Organizations don’t win championships, families do.” In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we compare the Cowboys’ story to Vancouver’s current path: What the Canucks can learn from Dallas’ culture of accountability and togetherness. How stars like Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, and Thatcher Demko need to carry the same “family-first” mentality. Why winning isn’t just about front office moves—it’s about creating a true brotherhood inside the locker room. How Vancouver can finally transform from an “organization” into a “family” that wins when it matters most. The Canucks don’t just need talent. They need culture. And if Irvin is right, the blueprint for a Stanley Cup might be closer than it seems. #Canucks #VancouverCanucks #DallasCowboys #CowboysNetflix #MichaelIrvin #NHL #LockedOnCanucks #CanucksPodcast #CanucksNation #NHL2025 JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1063the Quinn Hughes interview & why the Canucks aren't on life-support

Read this article on Sportsnet: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/quinn-hughes-on-canucks-future-i-can-handle-the-noise/ Captain Quinn Hughes is back speaking up—and the message is clear: he's locked in for the Canucks and focused on leading them back to contention.In his first deep interview since the offseason, Hughes shared he hasn’t thought about his contract or long-term future—he’s completely “present”, laser-focused on getting ready for the season and lifting the team out of last year’s chaos We break down what makes him the perfect leader:He handles the noise like no one else—“That’s why I’m the captain… I can play at an elite level and it doesn’t matter what’s going on around me.” Moves quickly past distractions—he’s already thinking about the skate test, not camp, setting the tone for accountability His trust in Adam Foote and love for Rick Tocchet show both loyalty and adaptability to new leadership—essential traits for sustaining a winning culture Why the Canucks need to keep Hughes long-term:He’s the emotional and on-ice center. With two more years left on his contract and extension eligibility next summer, Vancouver simply can’t afford to lose this anchor. Beyond the stats, he’s the compass. In a season marred by injuries and drama, he’s the steady voice driving renewal for 2025–26 JOIN OUR SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan.Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1062Don’t let the Vancouver Canucks become the Cleveland Browns

Is Elias Pettersson the Most Important Player in the NHL? Every team has its franchise cornerstone, but few players carry the weight of an entire organization’s history the way Elias Pettersson does for the Vancouver Canucks. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down why Pettersson’s performance in 2025–26 could literally alter the future of this franchise: Why Pettersson’s bounce-back season will dictate whether the Canucks can contend—or collapse.How his success (or failure) could be the ultimate turning point in Vancouver Canucks history. The ripple effect: from contract talks to roster construction, to playoff chances. Meanwhile, across the league, Connor McDavid still hasn’t signed his next contract—how does Edmonton’s uncertainty compare to Vancouver’s situation with Petey? Pettersson may not just be Vancouver’s most important player—he might be the most important player in the NHL right now.

Ep 1061Should the Vancovuer Canucks be scared of Jim Jones

Shoutout to Halford and Brough for inspiring this thought. Power. Ego. Legacy. Two legendary executives—Jerry Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and Jim Rutherford of the Vancouver Canucks—find themselves in the spotlight once again. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we compare how both men handle their influence and whether their old-school approach is starting to clash with the modern game. Jerry Jones and the Micah Parsons trade + contract drama—a move that showcases both his stubbornness and power as owner/GM of “America’s Team.” Jim Rutherford openly commenting on Quinn Hughes wanting to play with his brothers—a reminder of just how much sway Rutherford still carries in Vancouver. Are these respected veterans still the right architects for their teams, or are they holding onto too much power in an era that demands adaptability?We’ll dive into what these situations say about leadership, legacy, and the fine line between experience and overreach. #Canucks #VancouverCanucks #JimRutherford #JerryJones #NHL #NFL #QuinnHughes #MicahParsons #LockedOnCanucks #NHLNews #NFLNewsJoin our Substack: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...

Ep 1060POWER RANKING the Vancouver Canucks vs. the Pacific Division

There's a wide variance of outcomes for the Vancouver Canucks in 2025-26. To help understand where exactly the Canucks fit in the division right now, Beggsy and Bhawan rank all eight teams in the Pacific Division, determined by rankings of each team by positional group: forwards vs. defence vs. goaltending. The real question is...can the Canucks defence and goaltending make up for their issues at forward? And just how bad are Vancouver's forwards compared to the rest of the division?

Ep 1055Canucks lose Rossi but at least they have Chytil

The Vancouver Canucks won’t be trading for Marco Rossi after all — the Minnesota Wild have officially signed him to a new three-year contract, keeping their young center off the market. While some fans may see that as a missed opportunity, it might not be a problem for Vancouver. That’s because Filip Chytil is here, and he’s motivated to prove himself. After injuries and inconsistency in New York, Chytil comes to Vancouver with a clean slate, a bigger role, and the hunger to finally show he can be the answer down the middle. In this episode of Locked On Canucks, we break down:🔥 What Rossi’s new deal means for the Canucks’ trade options🔥 Why Chytil’s game fits Vancouver’s second-line needs🔥 The mindset and motivation Chytil brings into 2025–26🔥 How the Canucks can get the most out of him this season It’s not about who you don’t get — it’s about who you do. And if Chytil delivers, the Canucks could be just fine without Marco Rossi. #Canucks #VancouverCanucks #MarcoRossi #FilipChytil #NHLNews #CanucksPodcast #LockedOnCanucks #CanucksNation #NHL2025 #NHLRumors Join our Substack: https://substack.com/@beggsyandbhawan Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=...
