Sekeres & Price Show

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. Then it's The Daily Hive's Rob Williams with his thoughts on how waiver eligibility may affect Canucks roster decisions, who might graduate from Abbotsford to the NHL, and he lets us know how he has mocked up the Canucks lines for the opener. Then the guys finish up with a look back at a narrow Whitecaps win in the Canadian Championship quarterfinal, and the Jays do the unthinkable and finally lose?!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

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. Also, Frank has his thoughts on whether a winger can be converted to play centre. 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 to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

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. Matt and Blake finish up with some Whitecaps transfer reports, and the Blue Jays just keep winning!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!

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 expansion. They also debate whether or not the Canucks are free of "anchor" contracts for the foreseeable future. Then Matt and Blake finish up with a baseball wrap up for the C's, M's and Jays, plus the Lions and Whitecaps have differing results, but both have controversy!Thank you to our great sponsors:@bet365: It's never ordinary!
