hour or two of Canuck Central. And this hour of the show is brought to you by your lower mainland Boston pizza. The playoffs are here and BP is ready. So skip the couch, catch every hit, every goal, every save, every playoff beard. This is how you watch playoff hockey. It's Satyar Shah and Biknazar on Canuck Central and Sportsnet 650, broadcasting live from the Kintec studio.
Step strong with orthotics from Footwear and Footwear from Kintec. And keep your thoughts coming into our Dunbar Lumbertex inbox, 650-650. It's sat and baked. We have Arash and Lina as our producers. It's Mailbag Friday, so let's get going with our favorite segment. So what do people have for us today?
Lots of good questions.
All right.
Chapter 2: Which Sportsnet personality would make the best Canucks GM?
I like this.
I'm going to start off strong here. Justin and YsFan, which Sportsnet 650 personality would make the best Canucks GM?
I'll say Sat. I don't know. I'll say Bic. There you go.
Fine.
Lena's like, it should be me. Sneakily.
Sneakily.
Look, because we're talking about, oh, you need someone with advanced education and all this sort of stuff. Jamie Dodd.
I think he's... He's got a law background.
Yeah.

Chapter 3: Will the Canucks hire an enforcer to protect younger players?
A lot of flannel. Evan Goldhude. I don't know why that's... Yeah. Yeah. People texting in drance as well.
Lena, you'd be a good GM, but you'd be spiteful sometimes. I would be too cutthroat, I think. I think you'd be too ruthless. To the point where people would remember you fleecing them for like their first round draft.
I mean, to be honest, I don't think anybody at our station would actually make a good general manager. What? Yeah, I also don't think that.
I don't think any of us are qualified.
No, I don't think so either. Deeply underqualified.

Chapter 4: How do the Canucks plan to build team toughness?
Yes, deeply underqualified.
Tom Mayonek is my choice.
Okay, fair enough.
Tom's in the back there. He's my GM.
I mean, Tom is actually, I mean, you know, he has worked in a front office before. I mean, I know Drance did as well because he worked with a... on the PR side with the Florida Panthers and whatnot. But in terms of like, none of us have actually worked in an organization on the player evaluation side. None of us are qualified for it. Not a single one of us.
Okay. Can you imagine dealing with the first call from an agent? Be like, hey, my player's not getting enough ice time. That'd be like carrot.

Chapter 5: Who will carry the Canucks' team culture during tough times?
Yeah. the leaks that would come out and be like, this guy's got no respect.
No. And that's not to say that we don't have intelligent people here. We have people that have great ideas. But people here, I don't think anybody is truly qualified.
We're all just trolls.
Yeah. I mean, like, no. Let's slow down a little bit here. I think, and I do agree that we can criticize front office people. But I do think sometimes that we just assume that these people don't know what they're doing in certain situations. But there's so many people variables involved when you're working in these jobs.
And there's so many pressures that none of us are aware of from ownership, from this and that.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of trading key players like Bo Horvat?
There's so many things that kind of go into decision making anyways, that we're not operating on this, you know, even plane that we sit and talk about and pontificate on as broadcasters. And we can make it sound easy and fun. That's what we do, right? We have our opinions and whatnot, but none of us are truly qualified for it.
Shots fired.
I mean, I'm putting myself in there too.
All right, let's move on.
Rager. Vic can barely manage his fantasy team. It's facts only. There you go.
You guys do all have a background at football manager, though.
Right. Not me. Vic does.

Chapter 7: How will the 2026 World Cup be deemed a success?
I'm not big into the football. It's just too much work.
Hugh, Batch, Randy. Yeah, there's a cluster of us. Yeah. If you read off how many hours you guys have put into your football manager or hockey manager video games, that's... It would be bad. It'd be shocking.
No, let's not do that. Not so much anymore, though. But yeah. I'm playing real life football manager now. Yeah. Yeah. True.
He's an actual manager.
Chapter 8: What would be better for the Canucks: Flyers or Wild getting swept?
I like how he's saying real life. Oh, I've done coaching. I'm a real life football manager.
Yeah, and if you're a real life football manager, your biggest role is slicing oranges. Slicing oranges, yeah.
Orange slice manager 27, man.
Let's go.
I've clearly bought a mechanism for that now, guys. Come on, be real. Amazon, next day delivery. Do the kids still consume orange slices? I was kind of disappointed. I was like, I thought orange slices were a thing. I don't think that's just done anymore.
No? Everyone just drinks water and electrolytes now. It's like, put in electrolytes.
Plus, they're just too old at this stage.
Yeah, probably. I think that's more like U6 level.
That's fair. This one's from Tristan. If the Canucks hire both Gold and RJ, who's a better fit to have the final say?
