I can't do it. I've tried. Weak minded. I was going to say it's my one weak spot as a broadcaster, but that's not right. Just block it out. It's like I can't turn left. I will not be able to do it. I'm physically incapable of being able to do it. We are in hour three of the program. Hour three of this show is brought to you by the BC Construction Safety Alliance.

Chapter 3: How can the Canucks learn from the Carolina Hurricanes' success?
Visit them online at bccsa.ca.
We are coming to you live from the Kintec studio. Step strong with orthotics and footwear from Kintec.
Jason Brough is currently distracted by the Tunisia-Sweden highlights. The majority of them coming from Sweden.
I can see why the Tunisian manager got fired. Sacked, as they say. I like to think they just kick him.
If you thought the Vegas Golden Knights were cold-blooded for firing Cassidy with eight games left in the regular season, Tunisia's manager got them to the World Cup, played in one match at the World Cup, lost 5-1 in this morning, gone. Who's going to be the next guy? I don't know. Torts. Oh, that's nice. Let's go now to the Able Auctions hotline.
Satyar Shah joins us here on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Stanley Cup win for the Canucks?
Good morning, Sat. How are you?
I'm doing well, guys. Yeah, that's me. The story is crazy. And also that Sweden, I don't think, won a single match in qualifying. They had to goal the longer round to get in, and they scored five goals. The World Cup's pretty great.
Yeah, the only reason they got into that second part of UEFA qualifying is because they had a good Nations League record or something like that, which is just ridiculous. But it was a good win for your Sweden set.
Yeah, and they have some talent, like Izog, Jokers, and that Ayari kid. Ayari's unreal. Yeah, they're really talented players. The defense I wonder about a little bit, but you need to catch lightning in a bottle in one of these tournaments. And, I mean, because we didn't get out of the group stage and be interesting in the knockout stage, potentially.
Chapter 5: What strategies are being considered for the Canucks' roster?
I don't see them winning it or anything, but the field is open enough that they can be an interesting team this tourney.
Sat, I do want to ask you about the Carolina Hurricanes and the fact that they won the Stanley Cup yesterday. We were joking, but not joking, about how this is a massive victory for hockey nerds everywhere. What can the Vancouver Canucks learn from Carolina?
Well, honestly, it's in the most simplest ways. It's just being ready to empower people that other people wouldn't be as willing to give an opportunity to right away. And the easiest way to look at that is the nerds, right? But it's not just that. I think that obviously they found some really smart people like Tulsky and they found other people in the NFL league.
department, but they've also found people that are really good with the eye test and empower them with more decision making as well. So I think the thing is, find intelligent, smart people early and give them opportunities.
And we always, I know there's the talk of budget has been a big one here in Vancouver and it's hilarious looking at Carolina because Carolina is the one people point to and say, do the Carolina model. And Carolina model
one that's very tight on the budget in many different ways they spend what 10 or 12 million under the cap yeah they're not one of the highest spending teams behind the scenes either there are a lot of things that they cut corners on that i think people would be shocked about if they found out over time but they won the cup let them celebrate it's all good but the point being they're a team that's not afraid of cutting corners financially but still finding the next
wave of individuals.

Chapter 6: How is the analytics department evolving in the Canucks organization?
And I think when you look at Vancouver, and this is going to be the question, are the people they brought in like Ferguson, Seeley in the front office, are they the next wave of intelligent people? And some do point to them as being very intelligent and people that deserve an opportunity that could really do something with it.
Are you looking at it as following a similar model in that sense and also finding people in your analytics department, your research and development departments that are very intelligent and perhaps have a lot of ability, but may not have the background on hockey to that extent where they would get the opportunity in the first place.
Now, that's something we haven't seen built out, but that to me is the biggest lesson here is that And don't get caught up in this vortex of just go after the hockey people that the NHL tells you to go after, NHLPL suggests, that agents talk about. Once you cut through that noise, I think you can find a lot of gold. And I think that's what Carolina did so well.
Yeah, one of the many things that strikes me about Carolina is how they find really good players for bargains. And I think about all the former Canuck Jalen Chatfield playing big minutes and, you know, he's a very good defensive defenseman, you know. On the other side, you've got a guy like Shane Gostaspare, who's a very good offensive defenseman, and they just fit them in the Carolina system.
And they've got the things that they do well, and they're able to accentuate those for a bargain price.
Yeah, and it's also having a clear identity. One thing that has been talked about in Carolina for so long under Rod Brindamore, and even for a while criticized, and I was amongst those asking some questions about, are they too rigid in terms of how they play? This has been how they play since Rod Brindamore came in, so it's almost eight years of...

Chapter 7: What did the hosts learn from recent sports events?
nine years of the same exact style of play. It's very predictable in terms of how they want to play within their own system. And they have real clear skill sets that they value for their players. And a lot of it is get the puck up ice as quickly as possible. And they're able to cut through noise again, because when you have a clear identity about
cutting through half the league and saying, we're not even going to look at half these players. They don't fit what we want to be. I think when you do that, you also then all of a sudden make the list of mistakes fewer that you can also fall into. So you find yourself in a more concentrated pool that you're looking for.
Now, you can criticize that sometimes and say that you get too rigid in your thinking, but it's always better to have an identity that you believe in and execute than having a grand plan that you can't execute. And I think that's part of the simplicity of what Carolina does And that's essentially what Carolina has done.
Okay. Believe it or not, the draft is next Friday. And this is obviously going to be a very big day for the Vancouver Canucks.
Chapter 8: What are the hosts' predictions for the Canucks' future moves?
Could you see them making any moves leading up to the draft?
I guess it's possible. I think right now the focus was to add to the front office, and they did that so far. And I'm not saying they won't do more with the front office. I just think that's going to be a bit of an afterburner thing as they figure out the coaching staff. I think that's something we might see some movement on in terms of who else is going to be part of Manny's staff.
do think there is we're getting to the point now with the cup final being over teams are making calls like i do know teams have called the canucks and that's like you don't need to be an insider to know this like this is what teams do this time of year they're talking about players draft picks what you're looking to do and this is what always happens so i do think we're at a point now where if we saw the canucks make some sort of a deal don't be surprised i'm not sure it's the first priority here with the draft being you know a couple weeks away and also i'm still trying to figure out the coaching staff but they are answering calls they are making calls
and I think the player that we've all wondered about since the team got into a rebuild and we heard his comments about whether he wants to be part of a rebuild or not and that's He would have been open. I think the team was open. And that's the one I look at in the situation and saying maybe that's the one that has a bit more urgency.
Not that the Canucks are desperate to make the move, but I think the player ultimately would like a solution. I think the Canucks probably want to get ahead of it if they can to move that player if there are teams interested. So that's the player that I look at most closely. I'm not sure that'll happen before the draft.
But I do think now that the cup final is over, the Canucks have their front office in place for the most part, that the focus now very much shifts to the roster part of it. And I don't think we're going to see them trade DeBrusque, Koronek, Marcus Patterson, Besser, and say one of the goalies all over the next few weeks. And maybe it's going to take some time for a lot of the guys to get moved.
But I do think that we're at the point now where at least one of those guys, and DeBrusque is the one we're going to watch most closely, I'd say through this month and the first part of July.
We're speaking to Satyar Shah here on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650. We didn't spend a ton of time last week going over all of the additions that have had to the staff, including the assistant general manager role.
Did you guys go over that quite a bit in the last week, just talking about what Sealy brings to the table, his profile, and, you know, what his roles and obligations are going to be, aside from being the assistant general manager of the team, dealing with things in Abbotsford? I guess they've got a lot of work to do in Abbotsford still as well.
