On today’s Whiteboard, the guys run through a wild night in the NHL, highlighted by multiple buzzer-beaters across the league. They dive into the growing chatter around a potential regime change in Vancouver, debating whether the timing or the names being floated like Brendan Shanahan make any sense. The crew also hits lineup notes, including David Kampf slotting in as the Canucks’ top center, and wraps with a gambling update as Vancouver surprisingly opens as home underdogs against Buffalo. And yes, there’s even a debate about whether Fernet is the right move for meeting the in-laws.

On today’s episode, the guys are joined by Donnie and Dhali to dig into whether a major moment is about to hit the Vancouver Canucks, from Quinn Hughes trade chatter to the possibility of regime change. Dhaliwal insists the organization is actively taking calls, while Drance warns that any tension between Rutherford and a Hughes decision is “terrifying.” They compare past superstar trades, debate Demko’s long-term future, and break down insights from Dan Near, Adam Foote, and Jason Bukala. With pressure rising and the fanbase on edge, the show asks the big question: can this management team be trust...

The guys break down a quiet, low-energy night at Rogers Arena and what it says about a fanbase that’s burnt out and out of belief. Jannik Hansen joins to discuss why someone is getting traded, whether moving Quinn Hughes now even makes sense, and why the Canucks are nowhere close to a two-year turnaround. With trade rumours heating up, front-office uncertainty looming, and the team sitting 32nd by points percentage, the direction of the franchise has never felt murkier. The episode asks a simple question: what are the Canucks actually selling... wins, hope, or nothing at all?

...

The guys recap a noticeably flat night at Rogers Arena, where a quiet crowd and low-energy play overshadowed the Canucks’ territorial advantage. With Vancouver slipping back to 32nd in the league by points percentage, trade rumours continue to swirl especially around what a potential deal with Detroit could look like, with Drance singling out Edvinsson as the piece to target. They also touch on Demko being ready to return against Buffalo and what that means for the upcoming stretch. Despite the muted atmosphere, the team’s long-term questions only feel louder.

Landon Ferraro joins the show to highlight a strong night from the young Canucks, praising Raty, Karlsson, and Bain while projecting Karlsson as a dependable third-line NHLer who has clearly benefited from working with the Sedins. The guys shift to Tom Willander’s development, his speed, instincts, and the mental adjustment rookies face, while questioning how trades might finally open up ice time for Vancouver’s younger players. With Höglander set to return and center depth stretched thin, the crew breaks down lineup decisions, Hughes’ playful “Fitzy” moment, and why Ferraro expects trade chatter to intensify even further. They close...

The guys break down the newest wave of Quinn Hughes trade rumours, with Jamie insisting that “something has changed” between the star defenceman and the Canucks, while Drance cautiously agrees but won’t rubber-stamp it yet. Even with nothing imminent, reports of the Devils calling, and the possibility of multiple teams entering the mix, spark talk of a potential bidding war. They unpack Elliotte Friedman’s line that “nobody wants to talk about this,” which Jamie reads as a sign that a trade may truly be on the horizon, even if everyone should still take the noise with a grain of sal...

Sportsnet 650 Canucks PxP commentator Brendan Batchelor joins the show.

The guys recap a lifeless road trip capped by another discouraging loss to Colorado, with Drance bluntly saying the fundamental health of the Canucks is “on life support.” Despite insisting that “people can change,” he and Jamie wrestle with whether this group can genuinely turn things around. An Elliotte Friedman clip sparks a furious reaction as Detroit emerges as a potential Hughes suitor, leading to a debate over which centers Edvinsson, Kasper, Danielson even qualify as a baseline in any conversation. Drance refuses to get “pre-mad” about a hypothetical bad Hughes trade, but calls the entire situation “disgusting.”

This podcas...

The guys kick things off with Donnie & Dhali, digging into the growing scrutiny around Quinn Hughes’ nightly effort, the wildfire of trade proposals, and what that noise means for the rest of the room. With the Canucks generating no offence on their road trip and lacking any real center depth, the conversation turns to whether this form finally warrants an honest rebuild discussion and whether Adam Foote is quietly coaching like a rebuilding bench boss. Trade rumours surrounding Sherwood, Minnesota, Montreal, and Zack Bolduc surface as management slow-plays their next move, while upcoming games against MIN and UTA highlight ho...

The guys break down why strong goaltending and brief scoring bursts can mask deeper issues for the Canucks, who are trending toward the lower end of the standings because of limited center depth and uncertainty under Adam Foote. They question how Vancouver can climb out of the basement down the middle and why the team clearly misses Rick Tocchet’s structure. Jannik Hansen joins to discuss how thin the margins are across the NHL, why elite teams struggle to maintain peak form, and how last year’s loose, low-pressure stretch inflated expectations. The show closes with a look at the...

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...

Jamie and Thomas tee up Canucks–Ducks with a look at Vancouver’s strange track record of stealing wins right when organizational noise reaches a peak.

Jamie and Thomas break down how the Canucks crashed from their 2024 playoff peak to their current spiral, including whether a JT Miller reunion would’ve actually fixed the team’s centre depth or just repeated the same issues. Donnie & Dhali weigh in on missing leaders like Zadorov and Cole, the Quinn Hughes crossroads, and why a rebuild is necessary no matter who stays. Jason Bukala joins to outline why Vancouver has run out of excuses, why they’re firmly in the McKenna sweepstakes, and how a strong draft could finally restock the cupboard. The guys close by looking at defens...

Jamie and Thomas dive into the escalating Quinn Hughes situation as management signals a new direction and insiders report that a hard conversation with their franchise defender is looming. They debate how deep a true rebuild must go, whether Vancouver has the urgency or honesty to execute it, and what trade value stars like Hughes or even Elias Pettersson could command as the rest of the Western Conference pulls away. Jannik Hansen weighs in on why this should’ve happened years ago, the value of elite prospects, and the painful but necessary process of moving good players for picks. Cl...

Jamie and Thomas break down the Canucks’ internal shift as the organization finally admits it must at least retool and is now “willing to listen” on almost every veteran not named Quinn Hughes. They dig into reports of management’s disappointment with the team’s effort, the troubling sense that players quit on games, and why you can’t build a contender out of other teams’ castoffs. With Lankinen out for personal reasons and a California road trip looming, the guys look at the Patera–Tolopilo tandem and what it will take to survive with Demko not yet ready to start.

Jamie and Thomas break down Adam Foote’s candid frustration with Vancouver’s centre depth and the growing sense of sadness, not anger, among Canucks fans.

They dig into the importance of setting a real direction, the shaky “young team” narrative, and what meaningful trade returns must look like. Plus: emotional postgame calls, Flames comparisons, and Foote’s fiery practice audio.

The Canucks drop a brutal 5–2 loss to the Flames, one of the league’s worst teams, on home ice, raising major questions about effort, structure, and honesty from management. Jamie and Thomas break down why Vancouver’s net-front is a free-for-all, why this team keeps failing to bank points, and why playoff odds now look worse than the draft lottery. They also dive into Elliotte Friedman’s trade buzz, who might be on the move, and what the organization truly owes its fans. Plus: roster moves, practice notes, and the daunting pace Vancouver must hit to stay alive.

Jamie and Thomas discuss the Canucks dropping a 4‑2 decision to Dallas that coach Adam Foote called their best game of the season. Vancouver leaned heavily on its top forwards, with Pettersson, Garland, Boeser, and DeBrusk all logging over 20 minutes, while the bottom of the roster barely saw the ice. With Calgary looming on Sunday in what feels like a must‑win, Brendan Batchelor and Dimitri Filipovic join the show to break down the Dallas loss, and dig into how Evander Kane’s impact and the Canucks’ power play could shape the weeks ahead.

Jamie and Thomas get into the Canucks falling 4‑2 to Dallas, and while Foote called it their best game of the season, one good effort every 22 games won’t cut it. Vancouver leaned heavily on its top forwards, with Pettersson, Garland, Boeser, and DeBrusk all logging over 20 minutes, while the bottom of the roster barely saw the ice. Next up is Calgary on Sunday—a near must‑win given the Flames’ resurgence since late October and the Canucks’ playoff odds dipping to 38%.
