0

215.196 - 231.335 Jason Brough

If you want to get in on the ground floor, I know this one of the longest running segments in Halford and breath show history is currently without a title sponsor. This is a golden opportunity for some of you companies out there. Dunbar Lumber text line at six 5650. All it takes is one text.

0

231.355 - 239.531 Greg Wyshynski

This is a make or break for companies. This is if you want to be a serious company. You know, Amazon sponsored us a while back.

0

239.571 - 240.172 Jason Brough

I turned them down.

0

Chapter 6: What impact do the Sedins have on the Canucks' management structure?

240.852 - 241.373 Greg Wyshynski

Starbucks.

0

241.673 - 243.555 Jason Brough

Starbucks. They were a fudging company.

0

243.775 - 257.809 Greg Wyshynski

Yeah. IBM. Apple. Yeah. All the greats, really. All the greats. All the greats started by sponsoring the first hour of this show. Some of the best ever do it. If you don't want to be that company, well, that's fine. Too bad for you. That's cool. All right.

0

Chapter 7: What are the challenges facing the Minnesota Wild in the playoffs?

258.47 - 284.894 Greg Wyshynski

Monday was another day of reporting and speculation in Vancouver as the Sedins have reportedly agreed to take on a larger role with the team, although we don't know which role exactly. As for the next general manager, that still isn't clear. It seemed at times yesterday like it was going to be Evan Gold out of Boston. But then we heard follow-ups that Ryan Johnson isn't out of it quite yet.

0

285.314 - 297.928 Greg Wyshynski

It's a real horse race between those two. This should get figured out in the next couple of days, maybe even today, who knows. But it's been quite a ride to this point. Remember the whole Pierre Dorian thing?

0

298.348 - 298.849 Unknown

Oh, yeah.

0

298.869 - 299.791 Greg Wyshynski

That was a wild day.

0

299.811 - 304.84 Jason Brough

It was pretty weird. Greg Lashinsky was involved with that prominently, and he's on the show at 6 a.m. this morning.

304.86 - 305.842 Greg Wyshynski

I guess that was a week ago.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of Austin Matthews' future with the Maple Leafs?

306.343 - 316.12 Greg Wyshynski

I wonder how close Dorian really was to getting the job. Was the fan reaction? Did that cause the Canucks to pivot?

0

317.872 - 342.647 Greg Wyshynski

something else maybe the sedins i don't know because i'm curious to learn eventually how long the team has been keeping this sedin's news up its sleeve i know they went to the draft lottery okay yeah that clue that doesn't necessarily mean that they were in the mix to take on a larger role

0

342.931 - 365.715 Greg Wyshynski

They could have just been sent to the draft lottery because the last time the Canucks drafted super high, not first overall. That's never happened. But the Sedins went two and three. Still so many questions to answer in all this. Obviously, the structure of the front office is at the top of the list.

0

366.252 - 385.982 Greg Wyshynski

Drance had some reporting yesterday in his athletic piece where he said they're still trying to figure it out. Like, the Senines have accepted a larger role, and I think that acceptance sounds like it came fairly recently. But then they're like... We just don't know what the role is.

0

386.302 - 389.025 Jason Brough

We know we want you guys in it. We just don't know what it is.

389.265 - 417.16 Greg Wyshynski

You know, other questions that I've got. What is the reporting structure going to be? Who will have the final say on hockey decisions? What will happen to Ryan Johnson if Evan Gold is the pick? Why Gold and not Johnson if that is the case? Who else could be joining Gold in the front office? What about Cami Granato and Emily Castonguay? And what about Patrick Alveen?

417.82 - 446.495 Greg Wyshynski

Will he remain with the organization, perhaps in some sort of scouting capacity? Because there's also talk that after this draft, there's going to be big changes to the scouting department. Weren't there... Didn't Rick say that the Sinines and Alveen were seen together in a Stong's or something like that yesterday? Grocery shopping. Are they moving in together? They're grocery shopping now?

446.896 - 449.382 Greg Wyshynski

What is happening...

449.767 - 473.901 Jason Brough

with this uh gm chase well i mean in the drance article that you referenced uh by the way that's up at the athletic right now um you know he did say that news is getting harder and harder to find as the leaks whatever leaks there were and tightened up over at canucks hq with regards to the role that the sedins might play since it's not clearly defined right now
