So skip the couch, catch every hit, every goal, every save, every playoff beard. This is how you watch Playoff Hockey. Satpik, we have producer Josh. We have Lena here as well. Let's roll the music for Overrated Underrated. All right.
What do the people have for us this week, Josh?
We will start with this one from Adam Kiersenblatt. Zeve Boopum winning a Stanley Pup before Quinn Chews.
Underrated. I think it's huge. I think what it shows is that Zeve Booyum is more of a winner. And all Zeve does at these big events is win. And his dog also wins. And Quinn Chews, well, I guess Quinn did win the gold medal at the Olympics. That did happen. I don't remember that. It's not their dogs. No, but it's still, you know, he's named after them. Named after them.
Don't let facts get in the way of my narrative. Zeev's dog training is like so great. He's inspired by Zeev.
Let's be clear about that. Inspired by Zeev.
Yeah.
United by Z. Do you think if Z Booyum went to... I don't know what the dog organization is, but is he like, hey, I want to adopt that dog? He should. Do you think they'd let him? Yeah, they should. Well, the dog's up for adoption.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of signing Curtis Douglas to an extension?
And the Canucks haven't had enough. And I'm not, you know, making excuses for him. But we were just talking about Ottawa, for instance, right? Go through Ottawa's draft picks the last four or five years. Every second and third round picks a bust, bust, bust, bust, bust. Now you go to like the 2021 draft and they hit on, you know, Stutzla, Ridley Gregg, Jake Sanderson, Clevin.
2020. 2020.
So it's like they hit on four guys that are core players for them. So, I mean, they made it up in that sense. But you're going to miss on your most second-round draft picks. I think the biggest issue in terms of evaluating Harvey is, has he had enough picks for us to really know if he's good or not at what he does?
And obviously, some of the bets they've made, you're maybe not super high on some of the process stuff in terms of, do you leave upside on the table because you feel like certainty matters more?
Chapter 3: What are the arguments for and against Curtis Douglas's contract?
And we talk about this a lot where... A lot of scouts look at, is this guy even going to play games for us? And they'll say, oh, this guy played 200 games. Checkmark. I'd rather risk it for a guy that has a higher upside and doesn't even play 200 games. Because who cares if a guy just plays 200 games as a fourth line or third pair extra D man and
yeah sure he played 250 games before he went to play in europe but does that really move the needle i don't really care about all that too much um so i'd say probably rated i don't think he's as bad as people make him out to be but they certainly haven't had enough success to sit here and say that you know harvey's been underrated by any by any means you'd be looking at again it's even hard to even say these are hits but dpd right now looks like a
Regular NHL-er.
Yeah.
Which is great for a third-round pick. Awesome, right? Yeah, exactly. And Yolander, it's, like, still TBD. Yeah. They went for an upside pick with Hunter Bush-Davis, but, again, you utilize that to go get another asset for you.
And he looks like he might be an NHL player.
Yeah, well, again, TBD, though.

Chapter 4: How does the team evaluate the need for toughness in their lineup?
Yeah. We're talking about, like, 40 games here. And then, again, TBD still on Coutts. But, again, there's, like, some intrigue. You can even go... Yeah, like that. That to me is like already a hit because from where you got him from in the seventh round, him already playing five games. I know it's just five games, but like credible organizational depth. Yeah.
If he's just an Abbey NHL tweener, like for a seventh round pick, that's an unreal outcome.
Yeah, so there are obviously some decent wins here, right? There's some positives. I see Rafe in the sewer saying, you have to look at who was there for their picks, a.k.a. Boldy. So when the Canucks drafted Putkolzin, it was not Todd Harvey who was in charge of the department. It was Visily Putkolzin pick. The person who was there was still Judd Brackett.
Now he's in Toronto. Yes. Next one from Hughes for Rebuild. The third overall pick and Braden Kootz both making the team next season. Oh, I thought that was a trade idea.
I was like, third overall pick and Braden Kootz. Who's to get traded? Both making the team next year.
I'd say overrated. And I'm only saying that because if the Canucks draft anybody not, let's assume Stenberg and McKenna are both gone. I'm looking at the D and I'm looking at Mal Holter. They're probably going to college. for next year. Like, I don't know if any of the D play next year. I'm not sure if Malholtra does.
Man. Like, opening night roster? Is that what we're talking about?
Well, I guess you can define it how you want to define it.
Yeah, like me personally, I would like to see Kootz go through Gabi. For sure.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of drafting centers and defensemen early?
Every team does it.
Yeah. Can't believe they're celebrating after getting a wild card berth. It's like, yeah, they just do it. I don't know. A lot of them have fun.
Seems fun. I've never heard this before. Never heard this before?
The AL Championship rings, really? Same with the NL, yeah. Like, I think if you win the World Series, you only do one. But the losing team generally does have... So you're telling me... I don't think they should, to be clear. But it is something that they do. Why not?
Who cares?
Underrated.
I don't think... I think you can celebrate it without a ring. I like for baseball that they do the clubhouse celebrations for like, hey, making the post... Because it's... unique to baseball. So, okay, that's one thing.
Winning a pennant is big in baseball.
It's a long, long journey. Let's also acknowledge it takes a long time. It's grinding it out. And so when you win the DS, CS, like, okay, celebrate in the moment, put the tarps up, spray the champagne, do whatever you want.
