twice over the middle of the night, and I was like, six goals!

72.736 - 93.988 Satiar Shah

Six goals! Unreal. Unreal. We're still basking in that glow, of course. We have the Open coming up at 4.30. We'll discuss all things Vancouver Canucks, especially with the draft just around the corner. The latest buzz when it comes to rumors, some moves that are happening around the National Hockey League, the Toronto Maple Leafs, making a big splash already.

94.048 - 114.244 Satiar Shah

So a lot to get to as the show goes on here. And, you know, we're now exactly a week away from the NHL draft pick. And we're starting to see the movement happen across the National Hockey League. Like, we're seeing the trades go down. We're seeing players, you know, sign like Darren Radish, a sign and trade, essentially, or a trade and sign, whatever, however you want to pose it. But...

114.224 - 132.189 Satiar Shah

The thing that's been fascinating over these past few days has been that there are some movement, some things happening around the league, but none of the big... From the vet level, yeah. Right, but none of the big pieces have yet moved. And as we get into next week and this weekend, I'm really curious to see if a big shoe drops between now and Friday.

132.229 - 157.094 Bik Nizar

Yeah, because the primary, like the headliners are basically... You're Larkins of the world, right? And there's some thought. McTavish as well. Trochek's name has been brought up. This one was a pending UFA. So also take one more name off the UFA market. How's that money going to get dispersed of what this UFA class looks like on July 1? Darnell Nurse's name has obviously been out there.

Chapter 2: What insights does Jannik Hansen share about the Carolina Hurricanes' Stanley Cup victory?

1436.377 - 1452.702 Satiar Shah

Now, we already know the principles, mainly. Like, Kudratsev and Ty Mueller are the two with the bullet that have played the longest without playing a lot for the big clubs so far. We've seen guys like DPD graduate. We've seen guys step up. And, you know, Lekromacki is another one. But with his injuries, it's kind of a holding pattern. Mancini.

1452.682 - 1470.083 Satiar Shah

These are the guys who already have an in with the head coach. And that doesn't always mean that you get to the National Hockey League and you do have success. And it was different when Benio was a coach in 05-06 because Rick Rippon, Alex Burrows, and Kevin Bieksa played on that team. The next year, they ended up being mainstays with...

1470.063 - 1494.265 Satiar Shah

LA and V&O I'm not sure we have those caliber of players to look at in terms of the guys we just mentioned but that's where you're kind of hoping that a couple of the guys or at least one of those players that came through that maybe we're not expecting a lot from a guy that was a late round draft pick or undrafted which essentially Rippon, Biexa and Burrows were all undrafted or late round draft picks or a fifth round pick of Kevin Biexa was I believe

1494.245 - 1503.445 Satiar Shah

And that's kind of what you're looking at here. Can one of those guys under Manny at the AHL level now get to the National Hockey League level and become a core piece for this team?

0

1505.602 - 1524.045 Bik Nizar

I mean, what would the conversations have been in 06, 07 when Burroughs was coming through and now there's a name at the Ring of Honor, right? That's the journey. Best case scenario, you're trying to hope. But a lot of people would say like, I don't know, this Burroughs thing is going to work out. And now 20 years removed, you're like, oh, name's up there.

1524.085 - 1537.145 Bik Nizar

So again, it's lofty to put those types of things on like Linus Carlsen. But... This is the whole point of becoming something that nobody else can see right now. This is why that development process is so important.

1537.165 - 1563.715 Bik Nizar

This is why the opportunities in the lineup are so important of moving some guys who are 28 and above who are putting a ceiling on development paths for other players because would Burrows' journey have ever happened? It would have been a functional NHL-er, but the opportunity on the top line you need those pathways to be opened up.

1563.815 - 1569.107 Bik Nizar

And right now, because of the previous group and the intentions there, like there's some blockers.

1569.448 - 1583.515 Satiar Shah

Yeah. And Burrows' journey was so interesting because he played so well at the AHL level for a few years, for a couple of years for the Canucks. It was... you know, under AV where he kind of became a point per game player. And that year he got called up to the big club and he earned himself a three-year contract.
