We are coming to you live from the Kintec studio. Step strong with orthotics and footwear from Kintec. So Josh, you've done really well so far, but now you get the biggest challenge of a Friday show and that is interviewing Rick Dollywell.
I'm excited. Let's go to the Able Auctions hotline. Welcome in Rick Dollywell, one half of Donnie and Dolly on Check TV.

Couldn't be better. And Josh, I would never yell at you like I yell at Bruff. Take that to the bank.
I'll kind of yell at you too, Rick.
Yeah, it goes both ways, bro. And, you know, three weeks ago, you guys gave it to me good on the streaming thing. But for Josh, I will never yell at Josh like that.
What insights did the hosts share about the NHL Entry Draft?
Take it to the bank.
Well, neither will I, because Josh is a super nice guy. He's just a good guy. He's a good guy. I'm loving this so far. He's good in the room. I tell you that. All right. Team guy.
What lessons did the hosts learn from the Canucks' recent performance?
Let's start with RJ's presser yesterday. What stood out for you?
Actually, can I change on you? I want to talk about the UFAs first because I got some information this morning. Okay, go for it. All right, no, you do it. Yeah, I've been working the phone since 5 this morning. So Ryan Johnson said he's not re-signing any of his UFAs. You know, like Curtis Douglas is a guy that I've had a lot of DMs and texts, you know, are they signing him again, Rick? So let me tell you this on Curtis Douglas. From who?
Who's been after you about Curtis Douglas so much?
Brough, do you get DMs? Do you ever get DMs from people that follow your account? They're called DMs.
What are the implications of the Canucks' decisions on UFAs?
I get DMs. I've got people asking me all the time. Douglas has a dedicated fan base. Does he? Okay, all right. See, Josh? Josh gets it. It's because, Brough, this is the reason why, Brough. Canucks have been too easy to play against. They finally got a guy, a tough guy, And people want a tough guy in this city. They haven't had one in a long time. So, yeah, he did have, and Josh is right. There's a lot of people that wanted this guy back. So I just want to tell you that Douglas loved Vancouver and really wanted a return. There was no formal offer made to Douglas from the Vancouver Canucks. And I knew something was up when I checked Tuesday. I heard still no offer. So this tells me the Canucks have their eyes on another tough guy, either in the UFA July 1st, or they're going to make a trade for one.
Now, Douglas was very popular with his teammates, but as I said from day one, for that tough guy role, you've got to play every game. You've got to play 10-plus minutes. You've got to play in the third period. You've got to play in close games. Don't expect the Canucks to spend big bucks on that role, most likely under a million dollars. So the Canucks are going to have interest in players like Ducks forward Jeffrey Veal, who makes $770,000. who makes $775,000 and could be a UFA on July 1st. This past season, he was on a one-way deal. So this is a player that Ryan Johnson would have seen a lot in the minors the last few years. He's 6'1", he's 214 pounds, he's racked up a ton of penalty minutes in his career, but he also scored 17 goals in Manitoba three years ago, scored 13 goals for Providence last year.
So these are the type of guys the Canucks are going to go after to replace Douglas.
How are the Canucks planning to address their tough guy role?
If Jeffrey Veal hits July 1st, that's a guy that would interest the Canucks.
