Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
back in on Canuck Central. It's Sat and Bic on Sports in the 650. This hour of Canuck Central 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.
And man, the playoff hockey, this series between the wild and the Colorado Avalanche has been pretty wild. And I'm looking forward. Oh my God. This is what I missed the last week. Yeah. As you were getting tanned walking to and fro Kelowna. Long walk 2.0.
It was a dangerous one.
It can be pretty treacherous.
Is it safer to walk to the Coca-Cola than to drive it?
Probably not. Depends on if you're walking. Especially because it would take a long time. It would take a very long time. It would be very beautiful.
I did almost run out of gas. You did? Wow. So in Merritt, I knew I had to stop, but I forgot to stop. And then I had to get... What? What does it mean? I forgot to stop. I just forgot to... So I was like, before we left, I was like, oh, we got to get gas on the way home.
Rookie move.
In Merritt. And then we were like halfway between Merritt and Hope. And I look at my... gas and I'm like, uh-oh. We made it there with 10 kilometers of gas to spare.

Chapter 2: Is it time for the Sedins to take on a larger role with the Canucks?
I've always enjoyed DeMille's press conferences. They don't always work out to the conclusions he's putting out, but they're very enjoyable.
Yeah. I mean, like I said, I love that he gives us something, but I'm saying if I'm running a team. Yeah. You probably don't want... Quieter is better? Yeah. Right?
It's not like you're... If you're in a different market, let's say one where you're fighting for headlines and you're fighting for relevance in a market, yeah, then having somebody that's going to stir it up a little bit, I think that's positive. And I'm not saying Rutherford did this... on purpose, for instance. Well, maybe sometimes he did, but that's just how he is.
And I think if the organization cares about how the new front office is going to deal with the media, that's a part of it. And I think the Sedins would ace that. It would be boring from time to time, but they would ace it in terms of not giving us too much fodder to dig into.
So the other part, too, is what other decisions may they influence? And that's why I bring up the culture because we've talked about culture for the past two years, basically. And a big part of that is the guy who gets paid the most. What happens thereafter if Daniel and Eric Sedin are in higher positions positions of decision-making than they currently are.
So, EP40? Yeah. We were talking to Frank about that as well, and I think the Sedins have been, again, they've been willing to work with anybody, but they're not going to force anybody to work with them. And I'm not trying to say, again, that EP40 ignores the Sedins and doesn't want to work with them and whatnot, but
I don't view that as they're gonna be focused on solely keeping him here and figuring it out. That's something that they're gonna have to figure out organizationally. To me, the timeline is just about when. Do you feel like from a culture standpoint, to the point you said, are they gonna wanna see him be here in terms of moving forward the next little while?

Chapter 3: What responsibilities might the Sedins have in their new roles?
Or are they going to want to change the culture even more? And not to say that he's been a problem in the room because I don't think he is. And I thought IMAC did a good job in the article he had recently talking about Pedersen's season and how things have kind of gone. And that ultimately he's not somebody that takes up a lot of oxygen in the room either. So it's not like he's a bad influence.
It's just he's probably not influencing enough for somebody that's of the stature that he is given the contract that he has. But I can see them wanting resolution more than anything else with the situation.
Because all the key principal factors, Patrick Alveen, Jim Rutherford, Rick Tockett, a lot of people are gone from the time in which that contract was signed.
Yes.
If you're bringing a new group, do they take it with fresh eyes and say, value be damned?
Yeah.
If we're turning over a new leaf culture-wise, everyone's had their opportunity to kind of play their part. And if you didn't help the sinking ship that was the previous group, it was not us that gave you the contract. And so we'll take a shot and say, we won't maximize value for the greater good. And...
you know, having ties to the organization to kind of know what has transpired over the last little while may help them inform the decision. But it opens up because I've been sitting here saying for three weeks, two months, it's like, ah, it's going to be hard to figure out what the future is for Elise Pedersen. You clean the slate with the entire executive staff.
Yeah.
