Chapter 2: What did Ryan Johnson say about the Canucks' budget concerns?
Just after five here on Sportsnet 650. Show goes until then. And then you get to see... Pivotal Game 5 with a series tied at 2 between the Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights. Game 5 being held in Carolina tonight. What's happening, Vic? What a game tonight.
Can't wait. I can't wait. I actually, even like last night's NBA game, I have to watch it later, but it is like... These two finals, like, we've said it after every game. It's like, they were just trading blows back to back. Like, Game 5 tonight has a lot to live up to, man.
It really does. Man, that game last night between the Knicks
Chapter 3: Are the Canucks looking to add veteran players to their roster?
And the Spurs, a 29-point deficit. The largest comeback in NBA Finals history. The Knicks pulling it off. And, I mean, the scenes at MSG were unbelievable last night. And I just couldn't believe it. Like, I was watching that whole game. And I have some buddies who are big basketball fans. And we have this chat. And it was a popping off all game.
And, you know, we were talking yesterday about how, like, hey, I feel like the Spurs will even the series. And, you know, it'll be 2-2 going to Game 5. And it looked like that was going to happen for about, like, 45 minutes.
Yeah.
And then just magic. And that's probably one of the greatest comebacks in sports history. Like, I don't care. Like, across all sports, it's going to rank in the top five to top ten forever.
Yeah. And I was going to say, like, this is turning out to be one of the best sports months in history. Unreal.
Because, like, these two series. Yeah, we've watched Arsenal lose against PSG. I'm just joking. Oh, they won the Premier League.
That's what I'm just saying. This guy just shored that one in there. But between this, the World Cup is starting, right? Like, this is an unbelievable...
month so far yeah no it's sports have you ever seen that meme of like the sports the sports man sports um not the meme it's like the video of the december 2006 epo goals yes it's like 11 like top drawer every goal is like a banger amazing yeah that's kind of what this series has been these two series like we're we're so far through nine games and it's like every game has something new you get a mitch marner natural hat trick in six minutes you get yesterday's 29 point comeback i can't wait for what happens tonight
You know, I totally didn't even start thinking about the four-goal deficit that the Carolina Hurricanes made up in that game.

Chapter 4: How is the Canucks management planning to handle player trades?
Now, they ended up still losing that game, but those are two miraculous comebacks.
We are seeing everything. Now, I will say, is there a component, too, of exciting doesn't necessarily equal good? I mean, you can talk about some bad hockey or bad moments. Like De'Aaron Fox, that's not good basketball. That is not functional finals, fourth quarter basketball.
One of my buddies is really going through it and he wants the Spurs to win. And I've been getting like all day today, he's been cussing out De'Aaron Fox. And he even shared there's like a petition to get him bought out. And he's trying to get everybody to sign it.
What was that song? What does the Fox say?
what does the fox do it's like dude what are you doing here what do you do i don't get it's the fourth quarter you have the ball right it's like you understand like if you can just run the clock out yeah i mean not only he missed like every shot he took and the turnover like he bailed out because heart missed the layup yeah but it's like what were you thinking there too i don't understand it was unbelievable you can take a player out of sacramento you can't take sacramento out of the player
All right. But yeah, unbelievable scenes last night.

Chapter 5: What factors are influencing the Canucks' spending decisions?
Are NHL teams saying that about the Canucks players?
Probably. Probably.
After watching the last year, it's like, hey, you know what?
We don't want to... Not sure you want to stain the entire organization with this. Yeah. I mean, Elon Chark, who's a big Knicks fan, he was absolutely just... Just vibing today, man. Vibing. But yeah, incredible game between the Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. I want to say the series is over, but I don't know, man.
It was a team that had a 29-point lead. Let's also acknowledge that.
Yeah, exactly. So I wonder if the Spurs win Game 5.

Chapter 6: Who are the potential players the Canucks might target?
There's still something to be said here, but you know in the NBA, you go down 3-1. It's good night and good luck, pretty much. Yeah, you're in a tough spot.
But even for a 3-1 series, like... Very enthralling.
Yeah, incredible. And I do hope the Spurs win so we get, you know, game five. I was talking to Marcus Fitzgerald last night. You know, we're both Lakers fans, so we're kind of laughing at the Spurs, too. We're like, this is revenge for 08.
Also, Spurs. Like, Spurs-y, man. Spurs, oh yeah. This is kind of a Spurs-y moment.
Yeah, it was. That's very, very true. The moniker. Yeah. Traveling the seas. The Tottenham Hotspur. I mean, Tottenham has finished, what, 17th two years in a row, pretty much? That's pretty crazy. The only reason they did okay last time is because they won the Europa League and got the Champions League. But nonetheless, people were probably rolling their eyes. But yeah, the World Cup began today.
We'll maybe talk about that a bit later in the show. And especially as the next few weeks go on and the hockey stuff dwindles down, we'll have more of a focus on the World Cup. Canada plays its first match tomorrow against Bosnia-Herzegovina at noon our time.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of trading Brendan Gallagher?
So, obviously, for the Vancouver Canucks, the news today, and I'd say the news was... the reaction people had to what Ryan Johnson had to say to Thomas strands, who co-host Canucks talked a 12 to two on sports and six 15 rights for the athletic and him and Jamie Dodd do a great job on Canucks talk. And the article was interesting because there was a lot of quotes from Ryan Johnson.
The thing that got people really fired up. And I saw Josh Elliott Wolf was stressing about this as well on Canucks talk budget talk, worried about the budget. Are the Canucks going to spend money or are they broke boys all of a sudden? Like what's going on with the Canucks?
Oh, they broke boys. So, Ryan Johnson... We gotta budget our time on this as well because the break is... It's coming up.
It's coming up. So, essentially what RJ had to say was on the idea of adding to the roster of Brendan Gallagher and players of that caliber that they want to move guys out first and within their budget before they make other moves. So, I did follow up on this because, okay, I already... This is kind of funny. Sometimes...
Two days ago, we were talking about how the Canucks are looking to hire an AGM still, and Ryan Johnson confirmed that. And one thing I mentioned was that I had heard that the Canucks aren't going to get too deep in the Brendan Gallagher talk until they move another veteran out.

Chapter 8: How do Caleb Malhotra and Chase Reid fit into the Canucks' future?
And a big reason for it is, just go through the Canucks roster right now, right? Like, look at it, and you can see that currently the Canucks have DeBrusque, EP40, Besser, Liam Ogren, Marco Rossi, Linus Carlsen, Drew O'Connor, Filip Hedel, Niels Hoaglander, Atu Oratu, Max Sassone. So those are 11 forwards already under contract. Yeah. And they're going to be on the team, right?
And then you still have guys like Grimacki. You have the other prospects knocking on the door. Plus, you're looking to add a tough player in free agency, hopefully. Somebody with some toughness. Yeah.
Or you have one in-house, which isn't a very complicated one to sort out.
And then we haven't even mentioned guys like Braden Kutz, for instance, Ty Mueller, for instance. And then let's say they go and draft Stenberg or whatever third overall, or even Caleb and he decides to turn pro. There aren't that many spots available, especially if you're trying to give younger guys spots.
It's kind of an ideal situation to step into in regards because a lot of work is already done.
Yes.
As far as...
bodies on the roster right now yes they have to fill out hl and all that sort of stuff but it's not as if you're coming in with only nine guys signed it's like oh there's a lot of demand sign there's a lot of forward sign yeah and we talk about a rebuild and people want to see young players get an opportunity well it's hard to give young players opportunities if you chalked a roster full of veterans on one-way contracts and guys that are going to need to play or guys that are expecting to play right so like i mentioned two days ago they're not going to get into the brendan gallagher stuff until
told they move somebody out now the word budget came up today and I did follow up on it because I'm like everybody's talking about the budget or the connects gonna be broke are they not gonna spend money and essentially what I was told is the same thing I was told on Thursday on Tuesday the biggest thing is more about the roster spots they're not going to be a cap team I think we all understand this but I also don't think they're gonna be a team that's gonna be living at the cap floor okay but
