Canucks Talk

The guys break down a tough truth heading into Canucks–Avs: Vancouver simply can’t match Colorado’s level right now, and it’s frustrating to enter a game knowing that. With the Avalanche thriving under elite ownership across all their franchises, the conversation turns to concerns that Canucks management could respond with panic moves. A potential Sherwood trade won’t bring back long-term help, and the fear is Vancouver might chase short-term fixes instead of following a more disciplined model. The show lays out what the Canucks should and shouldn’t do next.

Landon Ferraro joins the show to break down why the Canucks should “sell high” now, what a Sherwood trade could signal, and whether Jonathan Lekkerimäki has taken a real step forward as the team’s top prospect. The discussion shifts to deployment concerns, with Linus Karlsson’s minutes, uneven ice time under Adam Foote, and the heavy load Quinn Hughes continues to carry. Drance questions whether players are getting lost in Foote’s system as the power play and forward usage remain in flux. The show closes with Foote’s own comments, Colorado’s high-flying pace, and where Höglander could re-enter the lineup as a needed spark.
