May 20, 2025: Canucks to go on shopping spree, should it include Mitch Marner?

Matt and guest co-host Jeff Paterson discuss Mitch Marner's pending free agency and whether the Canucks should pursue the Maple Leafs' forward. They also talk about Jim Rutherford's musing about getting business done ahead of free agency (a trade) not having much cap space left on July 1. Which of the draft picks or prospects should they deal? Do they have to put a roster defenceman in-play to land a top-2 centre. Other topics include Quinn Hughes removing himself from the process of selecting a new head coach, the Abby Canucks playoff run and the final four from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Darren Dreger joins to tell us who were finalists for the Canucks job, what separated Adam Foote, and why Rick Tocchet said 'no' to the Seattle Kraken. Dreger wonders whether Hughes would follow Tocchet to Philly if he gets to free agency, and where the Canucks will find their top centreman.

John Shannon stops by to discuss Foote's hiring, Marner's free agency and whether series wins in the Cup playoffs should be celebrated to a larger degree.

The Golf Report surrounds Scottie Scheffler's win at the PGA, plus the Whitecaps keep their unbeaten streak alive and the CFL's Lions hit the field for the first time in 2025.
