No matter who you're cheering for, enjoy every moment at your local Lower Mainland Boston Pizza. Let's go to the Able Auctions hotline and welcome in our next guest, Yannick Hanson, former Canuck, and he is brought to you by the Metro Ford, the Magnuson family's Metro Ford and beautiful Perkacolum as Canada's largest volume medium truck dealership, Metro Ford, where the lower mainland buys their Fords.
What's happening, Yannick? How you doing, man? What's up? I'm good. How are you? Hey, we're doing great. And we saw the Canucks be active yesterday. They traded away Marcus Pedersen. They signed Luke Shen, Jamie Oleksiak, Paul Cotter. What was your overall take of what the Canucks were able to do getting a 20-30 first round pick for Marcus Pedersen and signing those free agents?
Yeah, the first round pick I really like. Again, in 2030, you never know. Hopefully it's in 2031. It's one of those that are protected the first year and then they skunk the following year as well. But again, it's in the future. Hopefully the team is on a different trajectory at that point and then you could use it as an asset or if you're still not quite there, hopefully you add another player. In terms of who they brought in, Um, obviously moving, uh, Pedersen out, you need to bring in some, some veteran D's to play with the young guys. They brought in two guys, two guys that, um, again, aren't the most fleet footed guys, but guys that will stand up and protect, uh, the team. Um, so, so I really liked that aspect that, that you added some snarls, uh,
a little bit of pushback so none of the young guys get taken advantage of. And if they do, well, then there's somebody there to step up and answer the bell for them.
We know this was going to be the path, right? Like they've talked about rebuilding. They've traded the four guys during the season. And then you see this move. And again, it's really down the line. It's four years from now. But... Is this like the first time, and you've been calling for this to go through the entire rebuild phase, but is this the first time it feels like, okay, this team's got a future?
It's definitely looking to the future. Again, would I have liked this pick to have been in 27, 28 or 29? Of course. But it is what it is. Hopefully, like I said, they're going to bring in more young players throughout the next couple of years here. And then all of a sudden you're going to stand four years from now and you have two first round draft picks and you can start playing around with them at that point. One of the things Vancouver has never had while I've been around here is opportunity and options in those aspects. We were always trading away second, third round picks, first rounders trying to get over the hump where now you can stack up, you can load up and you can see what that can do for your team.
I know Vegas is a different example, but they had so many picks yesterday. to play around with after that expansion draft, that it got them all these players and all of a sudden they're right at the peak. Can Vancouver do that? No, because you're not having the same kind of capital right off the bat. But you can see what opportunities it does give you when you do have it. And that's where you got to come back to now your development.
How did the Canucks’ recent free agency moves and Marcus Pettersson trade reshape their future asset pool?
And these draft picks, not Malhotra, not the 41st draft pick, but the later draft pick, they have to turn out. Because if you turn some of these drafted players in the 5th, 6th and 7th round into actual players, that you start moving for 2nd rounders, 3rd rounders or even 1st rounders when they turn out. now all of a sudden you start accumulating a lot more so that's your scouting um that that's where it's like it can't just be uh be a one-hit wonder here where yeah sure the third overall it should turn into a player everybody should be able to pick that player and he ends up in your lineup two three years down the line we need to find more in in every draft and then you can start talking about down the line ufas that you're bringing in um so so it's like a complete package where
