Chapter 1: What should Canucks fans know about the GM search timeline?
We'll be right back.
What's up? Welcome to Canucks Talk here on Sportsnet 650. Jamie Dodd here. Who's got the mute button now, Jamie? Well, it's not so much a mute button as mine. I apparently cannot turn my own mic on.
It was really funny watching you just play percussion on it.
Just bang away. What else am I supposed to do? I'm going to press the button until it turns on. Hit the button harder, Jamie. Sometimes it works. I'm just old enough that, like, I did have a TV growing up that sometimes you just needed to whack it on the side. Smack it.
Chapter 2: Who is Sam Ventura and why is he a candidate for the Canucks GM position?
And it would just, oh, okay, the picture fixed. 100%.
Come on. I still, to this day, marvel at the incredible technological innovation that was blowing in the cartridge of a video game. So good. And, like, it literally had a thousand percent success rate.
Yeah. I mean, presumably there's just some dust in there.
Right.
You got to get it out.
Get that dust out. It always just struck me as an incredible, yeah, it always just struck me as an incredible, you know, fact that every time you tried, it worked. What about smacking the TV when the image was a little fuzzy?
I just said that. That was what brought us here.

Chapter 3: How could the draft lottery impact the Canucks' decision-making?
What are you talking about, Tom?
Do you remember changing the channels on a TV?
What about blowing in the cartridge? Have we talked about that one yet? Oh, wait.
Yeah. Did you ever change the channels of a TV that had a dial? Yeah, of course. Yes. What do you mean, of course? We're all millennials except for Elon. Yeah, but even then, even then, like, only that was only at my, like, grandma's house.
Yes. Yes.
You know, like, my parents didn't have a TV like that.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of a first overall pick for the Canucks?
Sure. Yeah. Like, I thought that was passe in 1993.
Did you guys all use a rotary phone?
Yes.
Yeah.
But again, at my grandparents' house.
Yeah, 100%. Or like some of your friends' houses. Yeah. Do you remember the first time you saw caller ID and were like, whoa, we're living in the future. My God. Yes. I remember being annoyed at area codes.
Yeah.

Chapter 5: What strategies might the Canucks employ to package picks?
That's like a 21st century thing, though, in Vancouver.
I also remember being annoyed by area codes, for what it's worth.
Yeah, I mean, sure. It is a drag. You'll still see signs around town sometimes that don't have the area code on them. It's like, wow, you've had that sign for a long time. Right. That business is like, we don't need to update the sign.
More power to you. Also, the scramble to avoid the not 604 or like when I was in Toronto, the 416 versus the, you know, like the, I can't remember what it was now, the 915 sign. And I never wanted a 9-1-5. I tried so hard. And then you end up with a number that's like 9-9-9. Whatever. I need to avoid the area code.
Chapter 6: How does the Canucks' GM search compare to other NHL teams?
All right. It is Canucks stock. Drancer covers the team at the Athletic as well. We're broadcasting live from the Kintec studio. Step strong with orthotics and footwear from Kintec. 650-650 is the Dunbar Lumber text line. This hour of the show is presented by Waffle House Diner. Enjoy chicken and waffles. The Waffle House Special Classic Full Breakfast and more.
Dine in or order on your favorite delivery app. Breakfast done right. And I do just want to start the show. Big lunch texts in. Hey, can we get a Josh update? Did he make it?
Chapter 7: What are the challenges of conducting a thorough GM search?
You're not aware. Yeah, Josh Elliott Wolf doing his long walk today for losing the JT Miller versus Elias Pettersson head-to-head points bet. Walking from his place in Surrey to the station. It made incredible time. He had the over-under set at eight and a half hours, I think, or seven and a half hours. Gets here. No, it was eight and a half hours. Gets here in six and a half hours.
Rolled in at 1130. And I was very honored to be the only other person here to welcome Josh to the studio. And I would say he's doing great. He's in good shape. So shout out to Josh Elliott Wolf for getting it done.
He really got it done well. He looks fine.
Chapter 8: What are the potential outcomes of the Canucks' GM search?
Yeah, he looks totally fine. I thought he'd be in much worse shape than he is. Human walks to work. Fine. Human walks 35 kilometers to work and looks fine. Yeah, that's impressive.
Yeah, he's doing great. I mean, he's a little tired, but he also got up. He also started at 5 a.m. Yeah, I'd be tired if I'd just been sitting around.
I'm saying I expected him to be like a little bit sweatier, a little bit more gaunt, a little bit more like bloodshot eyes. Like I thought it would be. Yeah, I thought it would be a harder lift for Josh. His little feet hurt.
His feet hurt. Yes. Okay.
Is that because he made a good twade? He wore the wrong shoes, I think.
On the show coming up today, we're going to chat with our Sportsnet colleague, IMAC, at 1230. Get his thoughts on the Canucks GM search and what else might be in store for the club this summer. And, of course, we'll wrap up the week with Dimitri Filipovich from the Hockeypedia cast at 130 later on. But right now, let's go to the whiteboard.
All right, now fellas, let's focus up.
It is your daily deep dive into what's up with the Canucks for today, April 24th. And a bit of a non-traditional headline, I'm going to call it today, because I think the headline is, let's all just relax.
Settle in and get comfortable because I don't think we're at the we're close to the end of the general manager search process, which, by the way, I'm stating as a fact because that's totally fine. There's I'm not saying like, oh, yeah, no, no, no. It's totally fine. But I think that's the tenor of what we're hearing over the last couple of days is. Let's all just settle in.
