They've got to first find out if they can strike a deal in Vancouver with Malhotra before they start talking to other people.

But Ryan Johnson did say drafting, you know, Matty's kid is not going to be an issue.

And let's be clear.

The Canucks absolutely love Caleb Malhotra.

They got him ranked very, very high, and I've been seeing for a while as high as number two.

Now, for those people that don't want Caleb, go listen to his junior coach in our show yesterday, raving about him on and off the ice.

He said he's going to be a future captain in the NHL.

He also said, unsolicited, that he called Manny halfway through the season, this is Caleb's coach, not to talk hockey, just to tell Manny Caleb's character is off the charts.

and that he and his wife have raised a great kid.

The Canucks have had the absolute worst dressing room in the NHL in the past two years.

Character is the number one way to fix that bad dressing room.

You will not find anyone that's in the hockey world, in Ontario, that says a bad word about Caleb.

You may like Stenberg over Caleb, but don't like Stenberg over Caleb.

because you've got your reasons for not liking him.

He's the top center in the draft, and it's not even close.

So Daniel Sedin's at the World Hockey Championships.

He's probably getting some really good views on Ivor Stenberg.

It will be fascinating if it comes down to Stenberg and Malhotra, best player or position.

But here's the other thing.
