Tsn 1040: Sekeres & Price

The schedule is set! Canucks start the season on October 9th, 2025 and there are a lot of talking points as Matt and Blake take a look at the 82 game journey for the Canucks this season. The guys get into the possible wear and tear of road trips and back to back games, a backloaded schedule, and the prevalence of home games down the stretch. Also, find out about JT Miller and Rick Tocchet's anticipated Vancouver returns and what the guys think those receptions will be like. TSN's Frank Corrado stops by to give a player's perspective on the day the schedule is released. Frank talks about player priorities, what goes into a good/bad schedule, and why teams in Florida may get even worse travel than the Pacific teams. Frank also gets into what he thought of the Silovs trade for Vancouver, the possibility of more trades in order to sign UFA's, and the best value player that he stills sees on the unsigned UFA list. And with multiple young defenecemen battling for minutes, Corrado also goes over the likely scenario

The Silovs deal is done, and the Canucks crease is set with extensions for both goalies. So was it the right decision? Matt and Blake take a look at whether the approach is destined for success and whether the Canucks made the right moves in the short and long term. They also get into reports that the Canucks are still very much into making deals through August in order to clear cap space and still add another player. But who is available that merits that level of work?? John Shannon stops by for his weekly chat and gets into the merits of All Star skills competitions, the Canucks continuing to do business deep in the summer, the goalie setup in Vancouver, and where other business may come from this summer. John has his thoughts on the Penguins' liquidation of players too and whether Crosby would ever leave. The guys wrap up with an update on Pedro Vite's departure from the Whitecaps, the Lions earning honours after their latest win, and the MLB draft had a fair amount of Canadian content!Thank you to ou

The trade that needed to happen, finally happens, as Arturs Silovs is traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Matt and Blake go over the return of an AHL player and a draft pick, whether it really was inevitable, and if this is a trade that they'll ever end up regretting. The guys also look back on a brief but popular stint for Silovs as a Canuck. To get the full lowdown on where Silovs is headed and what the Canucks are gambling on, InGoal media's Kevin Woodley joins the show again to offer up his insight. Kevin gives his thoughts on the career trajectory for Silovs, the Demko-Lankinen crease, and whether the goaltending Canucks prospects are still in good shape for years to come. Then it's Dave Hall from Canucksarmy with his report card on Chase Stillman's play in the AHL, where he is likely to end up within the Canucks organization, and what the hole left behind by Silovs now looks like, both on the ice and off of it. The guys then wrap up a busy weekend by chatting about the Lions latest win to get them to .50

Vancouver a goalie graveyard? More like a goalie factory! Canucks sign their 8th organizational goalie as Aleksei Medvedev signs his ELC with the team. Matt and Blake dive into what that looks like going forward and whether there's enough hockey to go around. The guys also look at EP40's recent comments about a bounce back seasonn and they debate who is most likely to rebound after a tough season, particularly among Demko, Pettersson, Höglander, and Joshua. Plus, new NHL CBA details from dress code to AHL rules. The Sheet's Jeff Marek stops by to give his thoughts on a few new names added to the NHL rumour mill, and whether a guy like Mason McTavish would actually get moved by Aneheim. Then Jeff jumps into the changing face of developmental hockey from the NCAA rules, 19 year old players now allowed in the AHL, and the Canucks desire to quickly sign their top draft picks in order to control their fate.

The Canucks have their top prospect, Braeden Cootes, sign on the dotted line for his 1st NHL contract! Matt and Blake talk about what it means for the team, especially in light of the new NCAA rules for CHL players. Cootes isn't going to be there on opening night for the Canucks, but who will be? The guys look at the myriad of possibilities as it stands so far, and in particular, look at the likely top 6 wingers that will be used out of the gate. Postmedia's Patrick Johnston joins the discussion on lines and chemistry and gives his confidence level in an Evander Kane renaissance season, amongst several other wingers who are also looking to bounce back. PJ also takes on the topic of dressing room leadership, and if the team can operate differently this season despite so many familiar faces.

Young Stars might be done in Penticton, but the Canucks aren't! Matt and Blake talk about the news of training camp returning to the Okanagan town again, where it's been before and what camps might look like going forward. The guys also debate what the highest price should be in the Canucks' pursuit of a 2nd line centre. They mention several combinations involving names like Willander, Lekkerimäki, and the 2026 1st round pick. Also, some other longshot trade targets have emerged, the guys weigh those possibilities as well. TSN's Frank Corrado also joins the show, discussing how big a risk he'd take in a Canucks centre trade. He also talks about the modern NHL roles, and what has and hasn't change with centre ice men, and what makes a good centreman these days.

All that, plus another edition of The Golf Report ahead of the Scottish Open, Ryan Gauld might be getting closer for the Whitecaps, and the Blue Jays win again!Thank you t

With the Canucks stuck in the mud in their search for a second line centre, Matt and Blake take a look at the "outside the box" options that they have in front of them. The guys look at internal and external options, with varying degrees of hope and risk. They also take on some fans' suggestion of moving Dakota Joshua to centre, but is he even going to be a Canucks this season? The 4th Period's David Pagnotta then joins the guys to go over some of the options discussed, plus he takes us through some of the tires that the Canucks have kicked in the offseason already, like Marco Rossi and Bowen Byram. David also addresses other offensive options that may be available with some prodding, and the possibility of a rare August trade market as many teams look to jockey for cap space. Whitecaps goalkeeper Isaac Boehmer then joins to talk about his upcoming start in the Canadian championship match vs Valour on Wednesday, and how the Whitecaps have battled roster adversity in the last 6 weeks.

Another post-weekend wrap up show for Matt and Blake as they look back on the various moves by the Canucks and around the league, not to mention the rest of sports. The boys listen in on Canucks GM Patrik Allvin's chat with John Shannon and hilight his clip on the confidence he has in Elias Pettersson and Filip Chytil as the top 2 centres to start the season. They also look at the copious amout of cap space still available in the NHL, the free agents still available and the RFA's that have yet to sign as well. John Shannon then joins the show to get further into his discussions with Allvin, where the Canucks may find space for a trade at some point, and if he expects the Canucks to start the season with 3 goaltenders. Jeff Paterson joins from RinkWide for his first chance to breakdown the free agency decisions of the Canucks, and gives his grades on Boeser, Garland and Demko. The guys then get into the absence of 2nd line centres around most of the league and what that means for a league contemplating further
