Apr 29, 2025: Another Norris for Hughes? Waiting for Willander and Tocchet

Despite a tumultuous season for the Canucks, Quinn Hughes still got his Norris trophy nomination today. And with questions swirling about Hughes' future, Matt and Blake dive into the year that was and the years that could be for the incredible Canucks defenceman. Meanwhile, the guys also deal with the excruciating wait for news on the Canucks coaching front for next year, and for any update on their contract negotiations with top prospect Tom Willander. Elite Prospects' Cam Robinson stops by with some reporting on Willander's situation, including the possibility of him playing in Sweden next season, and what his trade value would be if the Canucks used him as fodder. Cam has thoughts on the coaching stalemate as well, and provides some firsthand scouting from the u18 Worlds, and who might be catching the eyes of Canucks scouts. Then it's John Shannon on the Norris chances for Hughes, the draft lottery's viability on TV, and how surprising is the practice facility problem in Canucks hockey operations? The guys finish up chatting with Sebastian Berhalter of the Whitecaps as they get set to face Lionel Messi in Miami tomorrow. Seb talks about his increased role this season, and the team's incredible hot streak as they sit in first place of MLS. All that, plus some CFL draft news, Shadeur Sanders in the CFL(?), and the Mariners leading their division??
