Halford & Brough in the Morning · The Best of Halford and Brough 7/3/26 · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

Transfer, I've been thinking a lot about your theory on drafting becoming more efficient and how... voice-verified

good rebuilding teams might be able to separate themselves from the bad rebuilding teams by really getting good at player development. voice-verified

And I just wonder if you have any thoughts on the challenge of developing players on a team that's probably not going to win many games. voice-verified

And Halford and I were talking about this earlier, and we kind of came up with the saying of, you can't be a winning team, but you can't be a bunch of losers either. voice-verified

I want them playing with confidence somewhere. voice-verified

I don't want them having the NHL turning them into passive players, not trying to make a mistake. voice-verified

Well, they will be if he's playing with Hronik, right? voice-verified

That's good. voice-verified

What's your confidence level that Zeev Bulliam will turn into? voice-verified

I mean, you tell me what you expect him to turn into because it was pretty hard to judge a lot of the Canucks young players last season. voice-verified

We know what Z William did before he came to the Canucks and it was a lot of good things because now there's talk about getting these guys, some of these guys, whether it's William or Ogren extended, and there always is a bit of a risk that you take on when you extend young players long-term. voice-verified

And I suppose even if it doesn't pan out the way you want it, because the players are still so young, let's say it's a few years into the contract and it's not looking good. voice-verified

there still might be a team that goes out and takes a chance. voice-verified

Like I think about Mason McTavish in Anaheim, right? voice-verified

Like he was a healthy scratch in the playoffs, but still held some value. voice-verified

Still another team thought, okay, well, maybe in the right system. voice-verified

I'm always looking at the downside too. voice-verified

It might be just being a Canucks fan and some of these long-term contracts have turned into problems, right? voice-verified

To answer one final question, and I know this is your final official hit with us during the season. voice-verified

Yeah, thanks for having me all year, boy. voice-verified
