I don't want to start with Curtis Douglas.

Where do you want to start?

I want to start with Ryan Johnson and how busy this guy must be.

In fact, Drance has just published an article to The Athletic where he has an interview with Ryan Johnson and he talks about all the stuff that's on his plate and it's kind of why...

you and I, Halford, have made fun of the people that have texted in and said, like, you need to fix the analytics department.

Where are the hires in the analytics department?

I'm like, they got a few more things to take care of that are more meat and potato stuff than the analytics department.

Like, I think, personally, it's important that Abbotsford has a coach next season.

And I think it's important that Manny Malhotra has assistant coaches.

We can get to the analytics department later because this is going to be a long rebuild.

Okay.

Michael McCarron signs in Minnesota's six-year deal.

What is the Canucks' angle to this one?

Maybe that big Russian kid they signed, maybe.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, he can't skate.

Hey, Dolly, we were talking earlier, and we were saying that, you know, at least in terms of contracts, the Canucks could run out four centers right now, assuming everyone is healthy, because they've got Pedersen under contract, they've got Hedl under contract, they've got Rossi, and they've got Ratu.

Do you think those are going to be their four centers heading into this season?

Can you sit here and... Well, he's an interesting player, too, because he's only got one year left, and then he's UFA.

Yeah.
