Sekeres & Price Show · July 22, 2026: Canucks confusion with BC's switch to permanent Daylight Savings Time, and JPat weighs in on new hires. · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

One is, and we should point out, that he is a 10-2-C guy that left college and burned his first year of the entry-level deal in Minnesota. matched

He's not eligible for an offer sheet next summer if they don't get a deal done. matched

So for people that are freaking out about that, Liam Ogren, Lekker Mackey, D. Petey, those guys could all be offer sheet candidates, but Zeeb Williams not. matched

So just... matched

putting that part of it out there. matched

You know, is he an eight and a half, nine million dollar defenseman right here, right now? matched

Probably not. matched

No. matched

but that is sort of the going rate for young defensemen with potential coming off the real seas. matched

And of course, if you can get them to sign long-term, the hope is that, yeah, it's an overpayment early, but it's a bargain in an escalating cap world by the time the deal is done. matched

I always point out, though, as much as the Canucks or other teams around the National Hockey League may want to go long-term with their own prospects, matched

The player gets a say in this, obviously. matched

And we're starting to see, and we'll get into this more with Cam Robinson later on, but we're starting to see that players recognize the economic landscape of the National Hockey League. matched

The cap is going up here, especially for teams that are spinning their wheels matched

Do you want to lock in long-term? matched

If you receive Booyahm, do you want to put the Canucks on notice that, you know, I'll give you five years, but I want to see that this team's headed in the right direction? matched

And that was sort of my read on the Conor Bedard contract in Chicago. matched

He could have gone eight, but... matched

Does he want to tie himself to a Blackhawk organization that, you know, hasn't surrounded him with the necessary pieces yet to even play a playoff game three years into his NHL career? matched

So economically, it would make sense for the Canucks to, if they truly believe in Ziv Booyam, character for days. matched
