Now, a little bit of business to clean up from yesterday, and thank you for your patience. As mentioned, last week we had some scheduled maintenance here on our computers in our production booth.
That took place over Thursday, Friday, and the weekend. A little bit of a gremlin yesterday affected the audio off the top of the show. So thank you for sticking with us. And thank you to Mike and our team for stick handling all this. How are you? How are you, Blake Price? Aren't you excited? It's the middle of July. It's absolutely gorgeous out there. We got massive soccer matches in our midst.
I'm a little bit jealous.
You don't have your mic on. I don't hear your mic on. My mic's on. Ah, there it is. What's his mic on, Mike? Just kidding.
I'm a little bit jealous that you played more golf than I have this summer.
But I haven't played enough, Blake. Oh, really? I was looking at my, I believe yesterday was round 38, no, 28. Not nearly enough. My goal is 52, one per week. I felt just shy last year. My goodness. We've got to pick up the pace here in what's left of 2026. The problem was we didn't have enough nice Saturdays and Sundays in the spring because, of course, you can't play sundown. The World Cup put a real dent in my golf. I played a lot of less golf because of the World Cup. The World Cup has been so great.
28 rounds by this point is ridiculous. Absolutely.
That's a lot. My parents booked a show tomorrow, a matinee, and then my mom's like, wait a second, it's up against the England match. What the hell am I doing? Got to look at the sports schedule. It's true. Let's get to our top story today, brought to you by Yellow Dog Brewing, Neighborhood Brewing, Foolish Winery. There's a young right shot center who skates like the wind and has high amateur pedigree. He wants to be a Vancouver Canuck. In fact, our city is Shane Wright's preferred destination. That is the story today from the province's Ben Kuzma. who reported yesterday that Wright sees the Canucks as the best fit for his fledgling career. Shane Wright's preferred destination is Vancouver, quote, because of what the club could become in a few years, those who know him are convinced he might be the most misunderstood player in the NHL, Kuzma writes.
Now, he's on his entry-level contract. He does not have any kibosh on any trades.
He's got no leverage whatsoever. In fact, he's a year away from restricted free agent status. He doesn't even have leverage there.
He's not even arbitration eligible next year. So he can want to go to Vancouver all he wants. They could ship him off to wherever they want to. So –
That is rare, the trade with a guy who's got no protection.
Yeah. The NHL has changed so much. He can walk back over all he wants, but it's not going to likely affect the trade. It's not like he's a 10-year veteran of the Seattle Kraken, so they want to do right by him. None of the usual trappings of the trade are really applied here. And, of course, division rival. Yeah. If that's still a thing. I would guess the Vancouver Canucks have to overpay here because there's nothing on the Canucks roster, Matt, that really just fits perfectly for the Seattle Kraken.
Kuzma reports Wright is, quote, an alpha male who is assertive and confident. Look, and I messaged with Kuz this morning. He's super busy, so he couldn't come on the show today. But when I asked about why the misunderstood – player, that part of it. Kuz mentioned that apparently when people think of Shane Wright, the thing that pops to mind first, and in some cases, the only thing that pops to mind is the death stare he shot at the Montreal Canadiens draft table a few years ago when they bypassed him for the first overall pick.
