game two of the stanley cup final happened last night that was another great game fantastic the cup final has been outstanding right from the get-go the first two games have been what 10 out of 10 and there's been goals yeah lots of goals i didn't think there would be and mistakes mistakes goals overtime i mean it's had pretty much everything already unpredictability yeah it's been dynamite it's been dynamite so i mean um i'm excited for game three we'll see what happens when the series ships to vegas here

0

70.366 - 90.653 Josh Elliott-Wolf

I'm a lot more encouraged it'll go either 6 or 7 after last night. Yeah. I was starting to think, do we dust the brooms off? Is it going to happen? I was getting a little... I know. I was getting a little 1995 New Jersey Devils vibe over Detroit. Right, right. You know, like the physical, stiff defensive team that... I remember it well, yeah.

0

90.753 - 99.985 Josh Elliott-Wolf

Shuts down the high-skilled, high-paced offensive squad that breezed through their side of the bracket the way Detroit did in 95. Yeah.

100.133 - 104.538 Satyar Shah

Josh was in his pre-embryonic stages at that point. Yeah, I was minus three years old.

105.86 - 110.586 Josh Elliott-Wolf

Yeah, well, apparently, since he wasn't alive, it never happened, right? Yeah, exactly. Like any millennial.

110.606 - 122.5 Zach Clark

Yeah, pretty much. Are you even a millennial? I think I'm in the weird in between. Oh, okay. Because I identify with aspects of both millennials and Gen Z. I think I'm a zillennial.

122.7 - 124.082 Josh Elliott-Wolf

You can pick whatever...

Chapter 2: What does an ideal rebuild look like for the Canucks?

562.259 - 572.733 Satyar Shah

So I do think there is a lot of... I'd say uncertainty about the division next year, but that's not to say that I think the Canucks are making the playoffs or anything.

0

572.773 - 588.955 Zach Clark

Tell me there's a chance. Can I throw a question at you before we go back to the listeners? Mm-hmm. So you bring up Anaheim, and we were potentially going to talk about what trade options are out there. Mason McTavish is obviously a name that comes up. Anaheim has no right side of defense. Mm-hmm.

0

589.323 - 596.872 Zach Clark

Would there be a world where there's something centering around and Anaheim has to add Hronik and McTavish?

0

597.113 - 606.805 Satyar Shah

Yeah, I mean, we talked about this. Like, would you do Anaheim's first round pick and McTavish for... Where's Anaheim pick? Oh, sorry. A first round pick from Anaheim, regardless.

0

606.885 - 608.827 Zach Clark

Oh, first round. Yeah, because Anaheim doesn't have a pick.

608.867 - 625.713 Satyar Shah

They traded away to pick next year. Yeah, I mean, I would. I'd short their first round pick next season. Yeah, unprotected. Yeah. Yeah. I'd short their pick next year if you get it, even if you get top five protected, like just ensure that, you know, you can potentially get a top 10 to 15 pick if things go wrong for them next year.

626.114 - 637.487 Satyar Shah

But a first round pick in McTavish, you have my interest at least. I mean, ideally, given where the Canucks find themselves, I'd love to get two first round picks or a first round pick in like two seconds and another pick or whatever it is. Yeah.

637.467 - 642.292 Zach Clark

Theoretically, Anaheim could do that. They have their own first and three second round picks next year.

642.352 - 652.282 Satyar Shah

Yeah, so I love the idea of adding more picks and having that as your asset war chest moving forward. But you would certainly pique my interest when McTavish in a first.

Chapter 3: How realistic is it for the Canucks to make the playoffs in three years?

1287.235 - 1287.755 Zach Clark

Yeah, that's fair.

0

1288.296 - 1299.288 Satyar Shah

And is Jake DeBrusk a type of player given what's available in the trade market and free agency that team is going to be jumping the queue on and trading away for a second round pick this year for? That's where I'm a bit reluctant about it.

0

1299.428 - 1306.716 Zach Clark

I guess I could see the argument that it's like, hey, if you're a team that might want to trade for Jake DeBrusk, you're just going to see what happens in free agency before you make that trade.

0

1306.696 - 1321.349 Satyar Shah

Yeah, I think he's available, right? Like, I don't know if people are lining up for him. And I'm not saying that Hronik is getting traded, but I think, you know, Matt is asking us on a text inbox, would Hronik for San Jose second overall? I don't think that's enough. Like, you're not getting the second overall pick for Philip Hronik.

0

1321.369 - 1336.483 Satyar Shah

You're going to have to, like, honestly, it has to be like Hronik and your first round pick at the very least, the 24th overall pick. Like, I think that's probably what you're looking at. And I'm not sure, again, like, hey, you get the second overall pick. Hey, you can talk me into it. But I don't think you're getting the second overall pick.

1336.463 - 1346.938 Satyar Shah

But I think he's the type of player that would move the needle that if you're getting a first plus plus, could you get a first in the teens? We saw Noah Dobson, for instance. Could he be the Noah Dobson trade this year, potentially?

1347.038 - 1361.779 Zach Clark

The thing that I think I threw it out to you guys was instead, like if we're talking about San Jose, they have Edmonton's first, which is 20th overall. Can you do... Vronik for 20th overall and let's say San Jose's first with some level of protection next season.

1362.4 - 1369.37 Zach Clark

To me, that would make more sense if we're talking about, like, I just think the second overall part, that's a little far-fetched for me.

1369.53 - 1381.381 Satyar Shah

So I'd say the only draft day trade that, you know, again, like you might see smaller trades happen, you know, potentially, like trades do go down. around the draft.
